Good morning.I am arriving in Thailand in 2 weeks time from Australia hopefully on a non O visa to stay for 3 years if it arrives in time.Otherwise I'll reapply from Thailand.My question is are there any particular Australian Government agencies that I need to inform of my plans?Thanks.

Q. - What are people doing re the pending tax declaration for 180 day + non-O visa holders? There is a dual tax agreement in force with my country of origin and there seems to be a lot of potential tax deductions as over 65 and providing for a Thai family so estimate it will not be a large liability but the thought of more paperwork is not fun...BUT do we know of any procedural link to visa renewal based on the Thai tax return?? Thoughts welcome.

Anyone else filing for taxes this year?

Hi all, thank you always for the valuable and helpful information. Does anyone know any good agency in Bangkok that can support getting a tax number and filing an individual tax return? I got my DTV and would like to prepare. Many thanks for your kind information in advance!

Hi All,

Has anyone done there Thai tax return? I have been on my DTV visa since 2024 and this is the first time I have to do a Thai tax return.

Does anyone have any advice or information on the process.

I trade the currency market for my income. I also have a website selling and managing AI. I heard we shouldnt say that our remote work is via trading. Any recommendations on the type of work I need to list? Can i just say content creator and show a link to my website and youtbube channel?

My buddy from Denmark just called me in a panic. He said that in a European DTV Visa group, some Norwegians claimed they were actually taken in by police and questioned about taxes in Thailand while on the DTV visa.

I told him there must have been something more serious going on (maybe some kind of tax evasion issue), but now he’s stressing because he’s spent about 3M baht on motorcycles and other things, and thinks he’ll owe taxes on all the money he brought into Thailand.

From my understanding, if someone is spending over 180 days a year in Thailand, they should expect tax obligations under Thai regulations. And even if you’re not on the Workation track, you’re still required to pay taxes on any money you bring into the country—Thai authorities can check ATM withdrawals and transfers regardless of whether your DTV is Workation or not.

For context, my friend is on the DTV Soft Power program but doing Thai Language, which he got approved for through the embassy in his home country.

Has anyone here actually had experience being questioned by police or tax authorities while on a DTV visa?

Or is this just another round of panic rumors?

Would appreciate real experiences, not fear-mongering.

Hi everyone,

I’m an Australian citizen currently working remotely in an IT role. I’m planning to apply for the new Digital Nomad (DTV) visa for Thailand — either directly myself or through an agent.

My goal is to continue my existing remote job while living in Thailand for an extended period. I’ve read through some of the official requirements but would appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the process recently.

Is it generally a straightforward application if you’re already employed remotely by an overseas company?

Any tips on what documentation or approach worked best — especially regarding proof of income, tax obligations, and how to structure the application (DIY vs. through a visa agent)?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or first-hand insights!

Hello, I’m considering getting the Muay Thai dtv

I have the funds in my account

Is it true that they’re gonna ask for my tax even though the Visa is a Muay Thai visa?

And will I be taxed?



DTV is half baked Thai initiative to attract young and skilled.

It is all about the tax they pay. Their home countries would not let them go just like that, like on a cruiser in international waters, floating for years, where do not have to pay any tax.

I would not be surprised if DTV gets scrapped within months.
