Can DTV holders work for a Thai company?
DTV is aimed at remote work and listed activities, not local employment. Working for a Thai company usually needs Non-B and a work permit.

タイ travel, immigration and PR
Thailand is one of the most-searched travel handbooks here: visa exemption has lengthened, while long stays run through Elite, LTR and DTV rather than a classic skilled-migration grid.

渡航と滞在
Many passports enter visa-exempt; the stay has moved between 30 and 60 days — use current Immigration and MFA notices. Chinese visa exemption has also been trial-extended. Exemption is not work permission; overstay fines and bans are common.
就労・滞在の道
Work needs Non-B plus a work permit. Long stays use Thailand Privilege (Elite), LTR for wealthy or remote workers, and DTV for digital nomads and study-adjacent stays. Those products are residence, not PR or a passport.
永住と国籍
PR is quota-capped, usually after years on a non-immigrant visa in investment, work or family classes. Citizenship is longer and tests language and residence. Most foreigners simply renew long-stay visas.
