So many morons here who never run a business or worked in Thailand just spreading lies.
Dtv visa not allows you to work for companies outside Thailand. Because for this you don't need anything! It's only a multi entry 5 year tourist visa. Nobody can give you the permition for working for a company outside the country you are in.
If you want to be be a partner of any business in Thailand there is no permission at all. The question is how you want to secure your shares?
If your wife or girlfriend run a business then you can even help her without any problem.
And before all the morons come back again, I know it bc I do it since 10 years. 99% of the information here are just rumors and lies
You don't have to wait until approved. Today we were flying Hanoi to cnx and 29 minutes before landing my friend got the approval 😁 application submitted Wednesday 2 days ago
