You don't understand. You only need register a business name, and write yourself a contract of employment. You don't need to work remotely. It's all a big farce. You're just not getting how this visa works are you?

@Daniel ******

You have little idea of how many retirees are taking up the DTV

@Daniel ******

Me too. I follow the requirements for a remote worker. And there's already plenty of retirees taking up this visa. It's an absolute beauty!!

@Daniel ******

You're obviously not reading what I'm saying lol. I repeat "a retiree can qualify as a remote worker" - there is no upper age limit

@Daniel ******

A retiree can qualify as a remote worker. Income is irrelevant. The criteria is 500k baht in savings.

@Daniel ******

A retiree who can qualify as a remote worker can most certainly switch visas

@HillView *****

But many retirees are now switching to it, because of the onerous criteria of retirement visas. I know three retirees already have obtained DTVs

@Graham ******

Yes, a very special market for very special mugs!

@Graham ******

Correct. There's a huge market for stupid foreigners in Thailand.

@David *******

You're saying my post wasn't relevant to the original post and yet you felt entitled enough to stick your nose in. I'm talking about the proposed ETA. It's nothing to do with me. It's what's going to happen, and has been reported widely, with some more knowledgeable commentators suggesting the current "free for all" on visa exempt entries may have a limited lifespan, with the ETA taking over from "immigration officer's discretion" and the issuance of ETAs and hence visa exempt entries being managed by the MFA through embassies, instead of immigration. I'm merely passing on what has been reported, and everything I've said you've attempted to negate. If you don't like what I'm passing on, just ignore it, or attack the sources of the information instead of me
