Been seeing a lot of approvals of the DTV on soft power for Muay Thai. Does anyone know of a Thai Cooking school that has accreditation for the DTV and/or has already students approved on the DTV visa? I'm not interested in muay thai.
The options for DTV being admitting you are technically working in Thailand or just doing a soft power option like Muay Thai.
Based on the apparent new tax laws that were announced last year you would then be liable for tax and have just given them proof of your employment contract for example. But as far as I know these have yet to be enforced.
Is nobody concerned that they will come asking one day and expect to be paid large amounts of tax?
The way I see it the risk of doing a soft power option is they may require new contracts and such to re-enter at some point. But if you do the digital nomad route they may start asking for tax.
Hypothetical: I have secured the DTV and live here for a year or so… I then decide to move to another country for a couple of years before moving back to Thailand.. do you think the DTV would still work?
I’ve got no plans that far in advance just curious as 5 years is a long time.. the last 5 years I lived in Bangkok 2019 for 2.5 years and Sydney for 2.5 years before moving back to LTOS!
