Hi just wondering if stay thailand 6 months or more ..I have money in thailand already ..what happens about tax thanks

hello, any americans in here apply for thai e visa state side? it says apply at royal thai embassy of washington D.C… does that mean i need to travel to the thai consulate in washington dc? im in florida and really hoping i dont need to go there… my french friends applied for e visa and got the visa at the airport on arrival.. just want to know what to expect so i can plan ahead.. greatful for any information thank you

Visa Approved..

In case it helps anyone, here is a timeline and info:

Flew to Phu Quoc, Vietnam (good option as we didnt need a visa), applied online through HCM.

Wed 6 Nov - submitted application for soft category Muay Thai.

Supplied:

-letter from muay thai gym

-their business and managment details

-receipt of payment for 1 month training

-proof of balance and statements

-passport and photo

-Vietnam accommodation booking and receipt (should have added the visa entry stamp to this doc...forgot 🙃)

Fri 8 Nov - Request for docs - 6 months bank statements, and location/visa stamp

Sat 9 Nov - supplied docs

Tues 12 Nov - Approved late at night

Partner applied same date, but for worcation. Supplied a work contract stating remote work, and the required 500k statements.

Was asked for 6 monhts of statements, and a letter explaining the work/role. Approved (same timeline as mine).

Phu Quoc's an easy option while waiting for the visa. Super friendly people, cheap and beautiful beaches 🙏

Real question: What's the point applying for DTV if we (may) have to show proof of ongoing soft power every time we ask for extension?

DTV application 10k

6 month Muay Thai registration is 20 k

So far 40k a year plus 10k once.

Did i miss anything?

My wife had a question, and wanted to know if she was allowed to volunteer for charities in Thailand on the DTV visa.

I don’t think it would be an issue since she’s not getting paid, but thought I’d ask here to see if anyone knows for sure.

With all the concerns about immigration requesting an additional Muay Thai course on extension ( after 6 months)

I'm ( I own a muay thai gym) considering doing this (2nd document pack) for our customers for free ( well maybe an admin charge of 2 or 3k) if for some reason they didn't complete the 6 month course of 26 classes in the first 6 months.

Would this or something similar give applicants the confidence to go down the soft power route without fear of being stung for a second course?

Is there anyone who got DTV Visa as Cryptocurrency Trader?

Are DTV recipients required to do 90 day reporting?

"I would like to ask a question. I have a Non-O visa that expires at the end of December. Can I apply for a DTV visa before my current visa expires?"

Thanks for your help

Can somone please help.. I'm filling out the form and I have a few documents to upload .. contracts etc.. but it will only let me upload one file!! So frustrating
