sorry, just wanna understand this correctly - are you saying that, in order to get the DTV, you MUST apply through a Thai consulate office of some kind outside of Thailand, EVEN if you are submitting the visa through Thailand's e-visa website portal? I thought if you apply for the DTV through the online e-visa thing, you don't need to apply through a Thai consulate office... Thanks!
So wait... It's legal to work IN Thailand AFTER you get the DTV, as long as your work does NOT involve local Thais and ONLY involves foreign, non-Thai people, right?
