Can I choose to pay taxes on my income while holding a Thai LTR wealthy pensioner visa?

I was prev on ed visa and have med dtv now. Last entry in end May. No issues ever.

Same same. I have DTV since last year, enter Thailand, often Chiang Mai, every month. Many years of past history in Thailand on every visa under the sun, have never been pulled aside. Dress smart, say sawatdii, smile 😁.

As long as your application was genuine, there’s no need to worry. Just carry everything with you! I applied under the medical route and have entered 5 times since Dec 2024. I have to have appointments every 3 months and always have at least 2 future booked appointments to show whenever I re-enter. I also carry my original UK medical documents as well as prior attended appointments, receipts and medical certificates. For my last entry I spoke to Bangkok Hospital’s visa department (Pattaya) and asked for a detailed report of all my prior appointments! The file I carry is huge and so far as yet have not been asked any other question than “how long is your stay this entry” see if your BK hospital can give you a detailed report, I think it cost me around 300 baht!

Ignore the doom-scrolling here—you're completely fine! Your instincts are spot on, and you’ve got the exact info you need if anyone ever asks. Stay confident!

As long as you also have future appointments for your medical treatment there is no risk at all to get denied.

If you have a genuine visa received on honest grounds, you don’t really have any reason to be worried. If you get questioned, just remain calm and answer honestly

For crying out loud, your own personal history is four smooth entries.

What's your problem exactly?

Your worrying about nothing. You applied and were granted a 5 year dtv visa. They now about your history already you wouldnt have got ot if there were issues.DTV is multi entry so you can come and go as you like and it resets at 180 days go out after one day and come back 180 days again you can do that for 5 years. END OF

Long as it's a genuine case you have nothing to worry about, only issues arise from people being dishonest about the situation

You will be fine. I can only think of one confirmed case of a DTV holder not allowed entry. The gym was called and they were unknown to the gym. There have been some people had some questions but allowed in. That is still very rare anyone pulled for further questions. You will be fine.
