REMOTERADOCS
Guides

Where you can work

Tell eligibility apart from remoteness, set your working country, and understand country, region, and timezone restrictions.

“Remote” describes where you sit. It does not say where the employer can hire. A remote job may be worldwide, limited to one country, open across a region, or restricted to a band of working hours.

Remotera calls the answer eligibility.

Set the country where you will do the work

Use the country control above the feed, choose a country suggestion in smart search, or add a country parameter:

https://www.remotera.ai/?country=TH

Use your working location—not necessarily your citizenship or permanent address. The filter uses the country and its timezone to test the restrictions in each posting.

If you have not chosen a country, the interface may make a best-effort guess from your browser timezone. Set it explicitly before treating a verdict as decisive.

The four verdicts

VerdictMeaning
Open worldwideNo country deny-list, country allowlist, or timezone window limits the remote job.
You're eligibleYour selected country and timezone clear the stated restrictions.
Likely not eligibleThe posting's stated scope excludes your selected location.
Check eligibilityRemotera lacks enough detail, or the job requires physical presence. Read the source.

A verdict uses only what the posting states. It cannot grant work authorization, confirm visa sponsorship, or interpret an employer's unstated policy.

3 of 6 can hire you from 🇹🇭 Thailand

On the live feed at the time of writing, 1,891 of 8,665 jobs (21.8%) could hire you from Thailand.

  • Senior Backend Engineer

    EligibilityWorldwide

    Open worldwide

    This role hires from anywhere.

    1,490 of 8,665 public jobs (17.2%) carry no restriction at all.

  • Product Designer

    EligibilityUnited States only

    Likely not eligible

    Open to US only. You're browsing from Thailand, which isn't in scope for this listing.

    The most common shape on the feed: 4,995 jobs (57.7%) name exactly one country, and 2,840 of them name the US.

  • Customer Success Manager

    EligibilityLATAM

    Likely not eligible

    Open to LATAM. You're browsing from Thailand, which isn't in scope for this listing.

    40 jobs state LATAM as their own region name. Remotera expands it to 20 countries and judges you against those.

  • Technical Support Engineer

    Eligibilityexcept Russia, Belarus

    Open worldwide

    This role hires worldwide, except Russia, Belarus.

    Deny-lists are rare: 54 jobs (0.6%) exclude countries by name.

  • DevOps Engineer

    EligibilityUTC+5…UTC+9

    You're eligible

    This role hires from Thailand — it sits inside the UTC+5…UTC+9 window.

    497 jobs (5.7%) name working hours instead of countries. Offsets are one representative standard-time value per country, so the US is judged at UTC-6.

  • Technical Writer

    Eligibility20 countries

    Left unmarked

    The feed row carries a count, not the list. Remotera cannot see whether you are one of the 20, so it leaves the row unmarked instead of guessing. Open the job and the detail page answers — it ships the whole allowlist.

    In a feed of 4,000 rows about 300 look like this: an allowlist too arbitrary to name.

A verdict is only ever as good as what a posting says, and postings are vague. Where the words do not settle the question — a count with no list, a region name Remotera has no expansion for — the row is left unmarked rather than guessed at, so an unmarked row is not the same as an eligible one. Time zones use one representative standard-time offset per country and ignore daylight saving, so a candidate anywhere in the US is judged at UTC-6.

How restrictions are evaluated

Country and region lists

An employer may name individual countries or a region such as the EU, EEA, EMEA, LATAM, or APAC. Remotera expands regions only when their membership is well-defined enough to support a verdict. Ambiguous labels produce Check eligibility instead of a confident guess.

Deny-lists

A job may be worldwide except for named countries. If your country is excluded, the verdict is negative even though the rest of the world is accepted.

Timezone windows

Some employers accept applicants anywhere within a UTC range. Your selected country supplies an offset for that check. Countries with several timezones or daylight-saving changes deserve a manual check against the original posting.

Hybrid and on-site work

For work requiring presence, geography becomes a commute or relocation question. Remotera does not pretend a country-level filter can answer it, so the verdict remains Check eligibility.

C2C

Some US-restricted contracts accept corp-to-corp arrangements. The C2C marker means the route may be available if you already have an appropriate company; it is not legal or tax advice and does not create eligibility by itself.

Eligibility is not profile match

A 95 match says the role aligns with your profile. It says nothing about work authorization or pay. Likewise, an eligible role can be a poor skills match.

Use the country filter to answer can I take it?, then match score and job facts to answer should I pursue it?

Try the country search playbook for a repeatable way to build a location-aware search.

Filters

Understand every filter category, how multiple values combine, and which controls need an account.
