Has anyone with debt in thier home country been able to get the DTV? Would they deny your application because of that?

Hi all!

I am currently on an ED visa but I am currently back in the UK (been back for 3 weeks).

I have a re-entry permit.

Over the last 3 weeks, i gained inheritance money, i have secured an online remote working job, which all ties in perfectly to apply for a workcation DTV.

I want to apply for the DTV as this would be perfect for me, but conscious I am on the ED visa still with a re-entry permit already paid for. I also already have my return ticket to thailand booked and i leave Aug 31 (not much time).

Am i able to apply for the DTV and cancel my ED visa once approved and then return to Thailand? I can start the application now but i only want to if i know i can cancel my ED visa once i get the DTV approved.

Any advice?

So I am curious how people think I should handle this situation. I leave for BKK dec 11. I am looking into the dtv and the thing that’s unclear to me is the format in which the 500k baht is in. I have multiple bank account and brokerages etc totaling well over 500k but obviously in different accounts that consistently have larger deposits and withdraws. If I send it all those statements do you think they will accept that?

Onward travel and Visa.

I'm getting so much conflicting advice, hopefully someone here can set me straight,

Australian passport, arriving 3rd of September to bangkok international airport. One way ticket.

At the momment I have no Visa, will I get 30 days on arrival, or 60 days on arrival,

Can you extend for another 30 days, regardless of if I get 30 or 60 days on arrival.

Do immigration require an onward ticket, if so, does it have to be a plane ticket, or would something like a bus ticket, hat yai to Penang be sufficient.

I appreciate any advice, thank you.

Dear all,

My name is Christian and I’m a married father of 2 kids (10 and 6 years old).

We might intent to relocate to BKK next year from the UAE where we live and work today. My wife and I are 41 years old and have a German passport, UAE residency and UAE tax residency not paying income tax at all.

Once moved to Thailand, we will live off passive income

My questions:

- What kind of visa could we use?

- Is DTV an option?

- ⁠can we apply for a guardian visa for my kids who will study at an international English speaking private school in BKK?

- ⁠how to minimise or avoid Thai income tax legally ?

- ⁠can you recommend a good visa law / tax consulting firm?

Thanks for your help.

To obtain a 12 month extension based on marriage, (after arriving in Thailand on a Type O visa from UK) do I need to own property or can I have a hotel as a temporary residence? Or even a friends house?

Hello everyone, couple months ago I got my visa in Jakarta. Got it in around 7 working days, I recently saw you need to do location reports every 3 months.

My question is:

Do I need to report every 3 months after I got my visa or the 3 months start counting after the last time you left the country? I got the visa June 26th but left the country July 27th. TM30 report must be done in September or October? Thanks in advance
