Tech in Thailand — three machines, do not mix them

In plain termsEmployed at a Bangkok startup, remote for a US payroll, and LTR Work-from-Thailand are three different stacks.

Local hire

Local employment needs a work permit. DTV is not a work permit.

LTR

LTR can include a digital-work permit path — category-specific. Read ltr.boi.go.th.

Common questions

Does DTV cover remote work for a foreign employer?
DTV is a stay path. It is not a work permit for a Thai employer. Tax residence still turns on days and remittance — read the tax pillar.
