Can a consultant working for an international organization apply for a DTV visa in Thailand without a business registration?

Hi all. I am posting here anonymously as I would like to keep this post private from potential colleagues I might have in this group. I wanted to ask this group if I am a consultant working for an international organization based outside Thailand, can I still apply for DTV or do I absolutely need a business registration?

I would appreciate any guidance on this.

Thank you very much.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion addresses whether a consultant working for an international organization outside Thailand can apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) without needing a local business registration. Comments suggest that it is possible to apply for the DTV as long as the consulting work does not involve Thai entities or individuals. Key requirements for the application include providing an official letter from the employer stating that the individual can work remotely in Thailand, along with proof of employment. Some commenters emphasize the importance of having explicit documentation that confirms the ability to work remotely.

UK here. My remote work contract wasn't enough. Had to provide a letter from the company addressed to the Thai embassy explicitly stating I could work remotely in Thailand. Went through in 3 days after that

If your contract says you can work remotely then that's good enough, mine stated that explicitly and I wasn't requested any further proof.
