@Sefton *******

is agree, but what documents do I enclose with the visa application if there is no employment contract and no business registration?

@Greg *******

In my opinion, the same situation also applies to Germany.

I could even live with it if my employer continued to pay the wage tax to the German state. I just want legal certainty.

If he pays the wage tax in this way, but does not pay any social security contributions, as there is no longer a social security obligation, that would be completely sufficient.

@Greg *******

In fact, I see the circumstances as given. I just hope that my employer's payroll office sees it the same way. 😉

@Greg *******

yes, as the owner of a company, this is how it works. However, I would want to avoid registering a company in Germany because it makes everything more complicated

The ideal situation would be for me:

- Employer in Germany pays no taxes and social security contributions

- Taxation in Thailand

- Private conclusion of social insurance

@Sefton *******

Yes, I understood that. But what do I use as proof of employment or proof of work permit when applying for the DTV? A letter of authorisation to myself?

@Sefton *******

But for the DTV I need an employment contract, i.e. an employee relationship. I need something that justifies the DTV variant 'workcation'.

@Sefton *******

If I work in Thailand and invoice clients for my work, am I not considered to be working commercially or self-employed in Thailand?

Additionally I also need some of the money I earn in this way to live on in Thailand.
