What documents are required for the DTV Workation – Employee track?

The DTV Workation track for employees of foreign companies overlaps significantly with the self-employed track but has a different proof-of-work package built around the employment relationship rather than business ownership.

Identity documents, photo, financial verification, and proof of location follow the same standard package required across all DTV Workation applications: a clear scan of the passport biodata page and the page immediately following it (the passport should have at least 12 months of remaining validity and at least 2 blank pages), a passport-style headshot photo taken within the last 6 months on a white background, three months of bank statements showing the required minimum balance as a consistent ending balance across each month, the applicant’s most recent official personal income tax return, and a proof of location document determining which Embassy or Consulate the application is submitted through.

The proof of work package is the meaningful difference. For employees of foreign companies, the required documents are: a completed Application Letter (Thailand Blueprint provides the template); the applicant’s full employment contract, signed by an authorized person within the company, clearly stating the applicant’s position, job description, salary, contract start date, and other relevant employment details; a letter from the employer, signed by authorized personnel, confirming that the employer acknowledges the applicant’s DTV Visa application and that the applicant is permitted to work remotely from Thailand (Thailand Blueprint provides the template, and the applicant arranges for their employer to complete it on company letterhead, affix the company stamp, and have it signed by an authorized representative); the employer’s company registration documents, issued within the last 3 months (the applicant requests this directly from their employer); and salary payslips for the last 3 months, showing the applicant’s employment details and salary information for each month.
