Is there anyone who got DTV Visa as Cryptocurrency Trader?

Situation:

Visa: DTV1 Workcation (remote worker)

Home country Germany with double taxation agreement

Centre of life Thailand (significantly more than 180 days per year)

According to the double taxation agreement, Thailand is entitled to income tax. However, in practice, the employer in my home country pays income tax as if I were staying in my home country, right? If I file my tax return in Thailand, I only pay the tax difference, right?

What about social security contributions? In my opinion, there is no longer an obligation to pay social security contributions (statement valid for Germany), so no such contributions are paid. At the same time, of course, I take out health insurance and pension policies myself on a private basis.

Everything correct or any objections?

Hi everyone,

regarding the DTV visa, I understand that you have to sign up for programs like Muai Thay, cooking classes or others to get it. This means that I have to complete a relevant program in the first 180 days. What happens if I leave the country after 180 days and re-enter 2 weeks later and get another 180 day stay? Do I have to participate in a program again each time I re-enter the country?

Another question: Do I have to file a tax return and pay taxes if I stay in the country for more than 180 days a year due to re-entry with the DTV?

Thanks for any answers

Hello,

I am going to get an O visa and was wondering if I would have to pay tax on the 800,000 baht that i would need to transfer to a Thai bank account?

Dose anyone know the answer?

Thanks

First I want to thank any responders in advance. I also want to express my appreciation of this form, I keep learning from it.

I am a US citizen and I am 71 with several questions.

I currently have a one year multiple entry marriage visa. For complex personal reasons I will likely need to change to a retirement visa. I have 800K baht in a Thai bank account. I have monthly social security income that will more than meet Thai minimum requirements. and can be direct deposited to a Thai bank.

I do not think have the funds to apply for any of the newer higher cost visas essentially established to attract wealthier retirees. Although, if the one that costs 50K baht were for some reason strongly recommended, I could potentially save enough before a move to apply for that one.

Any suggestions or recommendations about converting from a marriage visa to a retirement visa?

Since I need my social security to live on in the US until a move here, how can I transition from the 800K baht in a Thai savings account requirement to demonstrating I have sufficient monthly deposits to meet Thai requirements?

If I have sufficient monthly income, does that eliminate the requirement of maintaining $800K baht in the bank

I am confused by insurance requirements. Is there any way to demonstrate sufficient income so that the insurance requirement is waived?

If I need the insurance, who will insure an older gent at a reasonable cost for the Thai minimum coverage?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Hi. We are looking to move to Thailand in 2024, emigrating on a retirement visa. We were just thinking, small 3 bed, just live our retirement out, but we’ve just seen a great property, with annexes (kind of the Thai version of gites) which we think would be good for us, meeting new people etc (before Brexit, we had dreamed of having gites in France), my question is, what’s the visa situation or tax situation if we decide to go down that route?
