How many days of 2025 will you have spent in Thailand by the end of the year?

Even though the visa grants a 180-day stay with each entry, is there a kind of unofficial upper limit on the number of days spent in the country that makes de facto resident status interpretable?

My visa was approved as a remote worker. I work for my long-standing EU employer in my rented flat in Thailand with two screens, a LAN connection and a fixed desk. Leaving the country regularly is not realistic.

By the end of the year, I will have spent about 315 days in this country. Next year, I plan to return to my home country for 1-3 months, in addition to a shorter stay in a neighbouring country.

Just retired with TP Gold visa and now getting all the paperwork sorted out for a long term stay

Got 10 year rental agreement for a house and got issued yellow house book and pink id card at the local city administration (Amphur)

Next step is drivers license, need to take a test and get a medical certificate but think the TP visa plus pink id card and yellow book is ok as documentation basis for application

Just one question if anyone should have same issue, my rental agreement and yellow book does not show same address. Owner of the rental house is not very cooperative so relatives of my late wife (I am now single and intend to stay single) organized it on their blue book. It included interview at the Amphur and some paperwork. I was informed at the city office that the 2 addresses don’t have to match as many Thais are registered one place but have actually moved and live/work in another place

Any comment or advice anyone, I was married for 37 years and the wife took care of everything, now I’m on my own and need all the advice I can get

If you are living in your parents house in a rental apartment, what to give as location proof? Your permanent address(present in passport etc) is a different address but in the same city though you don't live there.

Hi, I'm looking for advice from those US expats who changed their legal residence to a no income tax state prior to relocating to Thailand. I'm currently living in NY State and do not want to get hit with state tax on any future 401k withdrawals. Is there a recommended way to avoid this without physically moving to a non tax state? Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV online. I’m a UK citizen but currently travelling. Currently in Anguilla, going via the states to Sri Lanka and then to Thailand. I won’t be in any place for long and don’t have residency in any of these places, I am just travelling as a tourist.

I heard I can apply for the evisa putting my current location as the U.K. as I am a citizen and therefore don’t need to prove residency etc. Is this the case if I’m not there? If not, where should I apply?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Wanted to hear about recent experiences applying in France in the past few months. How long did it take? Did they ask for further documentation?

Thanks a lot! Merci! 🙏🏼
