ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi guys, I'm an Irish citizen who is applying for the DTV visa through the London embassy (Thailand don't have an embassy in Ireland). I submitted my application yesterday and got a request today for additional documents: tax returns. However, I haven't been tax resident in my country for over 5 years. What can I do?

not everyone is required to pay taxes somewhere. The uk for example you don't have to be paying taxes to anther country to become a non tax resident, then just make sure you don't make yourself resident in another country like spending less than 180 days in Thailand for example
