As titled. The officer first asked what did i do here and I mentioned being a digital nomad under DTV Visa. She asked for proof of work which I showed her my latest invoices with my clients. She was only happy when the invoices show the billing in the previous months so I reckon a contract would have worked better.

I then asked her if it was a new regulation to provide the documents before entry, she said no and mentioned it’d be better for me to have them since DTV is a long term visa.

Hey there everyone! 🙋 ♂️

I am currently looking for a German employer who allows to work remotely from Thailand permanently or at least for a longer period of time. Maybe there are some people here with experience or concrete tips?

So far, in my research, I have only found companies that offer remote work, but restrict that to Germany or maximum the EU. Especially in terms of tax and legal aspects, this seems to be an exclusion criteria for many companies.

Therefore, my question to you: Do you know employers in Germany (or maybe even specific industries or forms of companies) that allow work from Thailand, whether it is official or at least unofficially with tolerance?

I am happy for any feedback, experience or exchange. Thank you in advance! 🙏😊

Hi everyone! 🙋 ♂️

I’m currently looking for a German employer who allows long-term or even permanent remote work from Thailand. I was wondering if anyone here has experience with this or knows of companies that are open to it?

So far, I’ve mostly come across employers that offer remote work but only within Germany or, at best, within the EU. It seems that legal and tax-related concerns make many companies hesitant to allow remote work from outside the EU.

That’s why I’d love to hear from anyone who knows of German companies or even specific industries or job types where working remotely from Thailand is officially permitted (or at least tolerated in practice).

Any tips, insights, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance! 🙏😊

Hallo zusammen! 🙋‍♂️

Ich bin aktuell auf der Suche nach einem deutschen Arbeitgeber, der es erlaubt, dauerhaft oder zumindest für längere Zeit remote aus Thailand zu arbeiten. Vielleicht gibt es hier ja ein paar Leute mit Erfahrungen oder konkreten Tipps?

Bisher habe ich bei meiner Recherche leider nur Unternehmen gefunden, die zwar Remote Work anbieten, das aber auf Deutschland oder maximal die EU beschränken. Gerade in Bezug auf steuerliche und rechtliche Aspekte scheint das für viele Firmen ein Ausschlusskriterium zu sein.

Deshalb meine Frage an euch: Kennt ihr Arbeitgeber in Deutschland (oder vielleicht sogar konkrete Branchen oder Unternehmensformen), die das Arbeiten aus Thailand ermöglichen sei es offiziell oder zumindest inoffiziell mit Duldung?

Ich freue mich über jeden Hinweis, Erfahrungsbericht oder Austausch dazu. Vielen Dank im Voraus! 🙏😊

With this new bank approach to close accounts unless you have long term visa, own property or are married, does the DTV visa suffice to keep the bank account or is this still deemed a touristic visa

I came to extend my DTV visa to another 180 days (ko samui). Because of the high season and because i have a dog (super hard to find accommodation with a dog), i moved a lot and only recently found a more permanent home. Anyway, apparently, one of the ridiculous requirements for extending, is that you need to be 3 months at the same home when you are applying... Considering this visa was designed for digital NOMADS, this is an incredibly stupid rule. I have all requirements for the extension beside that stupid thing, I'm in samui so the flight is relatively long and expensive, I would prefer to save the time, energy and money that will be spent on it without any reason whatsoever, but whatever. Heads up to all nomads on dtv out there that move a lot.

Hey everyone, I have a UK passport, I work for a UK company, pay tax in UK, am registered to live and vote in the same address in UK as my bank account is registered at (one of my parent's house). Should I apply at the UK embassy? I am based variously around SE Asia. Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam usually. Is it better to apply in my home country or in the country I'm actually in? . Please just be Kreng jai and Jai yen in your answers 🙏🏻 Khob khun krap

For digital nomads who are transferring money now into Thai Bank Accounts

Lets say you are transferring 60k on low end and 100k on high end every month

After 1 year in thailand how much tax are you liable to pay from that to thai government (so 360k-720k baht transferred in)?

This short video may clarify why some newly arrived digital nomads encounter challenges at airports, Thai borders, or when attempting to extend their visas at immigration offices.

A Thai legal expert indicates that the concept of the DTV is largely misunderstood by many immigration officers and is, for all intents and purposes, a "made up notion."

Application Denied!

Was able to open bank account in TTB Big C supercenter 1 Hangdong . On the spot processing if you have all the docs- DTV Remote work category.

Docs asked:

- passport & visa

- driving licence

- landlord blue book and ID with signature

- rental contract

- employment contract / must be stated clearly that you can work in Thailand

- Tax Number

Same requirements asked at TTB Central Festival.

I heard that you need to stay in Thailand for more than 180 days to become a tax resident. Does the 180 day count get reset if I leave the country and come back in?

Anyone get the information required for filing income as a workcation DTV

The deadline to report is March 31. I was told that previously it was only if in country 6 months but now I read that any online business or creator or influencers need to report income. Never stated 6 month

Has anyone inquired at the revenue department?
