Bad news folks if you are thinking about this visa while you are under a contractor arrangement. They consider your own company as the employer. I'll have to talk to my boss to see if they will make me a permanent employee.

Please be informed that a candidate for a Work-From-Thailand Professional category must have an employer, even though they are business owners.
From our point of view, we think your own private company is your actual employer rather than its clients. If you could provide us a certificate of employment or equivalent, signed by an authorized person of your company, indicating your position in your company, monthly or yearly salary, and employment period (open-ended contract). You then could apply for this visa.
The following condition of the Work-From-Thailand Professional category would apply only to your consulting company.
- Current employer must have one of the following characteristics; a) a public company listed on the stock exchange in any country b) a private company that has been in operation for at least three years and has total combined revenue of more than $150 million in the last three years (Audited corporate’s annual financial statement or financial report showing the revenue in the last 3 years of no less than 150 million USD is required as proof)
In answer to your second question, LTR Visa holders are able to leave or re-enter the country anytime (the visa itself is multiple type, which you do not need to obtain the re-entry permit in order to re-enter the Kingdom)
