Can someone confirm this for me?

With the DTV visa, the maximum stay is 180 days per year, right?

And even though you can extend every 90 days (or exit and re-enter), the total annual limit is still only 180 days?

I just want to make sure that the DTV does NOT allow staying in Thailand for more than 6 months per year.

I did two stints earlier in the year on visa free exemption both were extended by 30 days so I stayed all up just under 180days. I’ve been out of Thailand and back in my home country for 4 months.

I am coming back into Thailand next week also with a return flight booked back to my home country booked in 2 and half months. I have applied for a tourist visa and it has been accepted should I be worried with the recent visa updates ?

I’m 45 from the UK and will be taking early retirement next month and moving from the UK to Thailand permanently. I’ll still be receiving dividends from my UK company and using my UK bank card while living there (more than 180 days per year). Can anyone advise how I should handle my tax situation? I understand that funds remitted into Thailand in the same year is subject to Thai tax?

In 2015 I bought a house (main residence) in the UK for £525K with an interest only mortgage and a £200K deposit. The property is now valued at around £600K. So, if I use the original £200K deposit to buy something in Bangkok, presumably it’s tax except?

Just went to the Thai Tax Revenue office about how to pay taxes as a 180 day Thai Tax Resident and I got a Deer in the Headlights look. Literally no one knows the answers to this 😂

Hey Guys so being here on a DTV as a Remote Worker for an American LLC, staying for over 180 days, do I need a Thai Tax number?

Hi folks,any Australians been asked by their Australian banks (mines Westpac) to provide a Thai Tax Identication Number?

I'm a retired pensioner on a Non O Retirement Visa and have been here over 180 days.

The request came about ..apparently..because I registered a Thai phone number..linked to my Thai bank accounts.

Sounds a bit serious as they're saying that they could block my account..in Australia..if I don't provide the required information.

Any feed back is appreciated .

Hello. I've been traveling to Thailand for 6 weeks at a time (I work abroad, 6 on, 6 off) and have just come across the 180 day tax requirement. But I have some questions... I do not have and do not want or need a Thai bank account. I pay US taxes but will be qualified to have my income covered by the foreign income tax credit this year, so I shouldn't owe anything other than the SS / medicaid. Given these factors, do I still need to pay taxes or file anything in Thailand since I'm arguably not bringing money into a Thai account? I'm interested in applying for the DTV so it'll make my leave breaks easier but I'm not sure if I can as an independent contractor or if this would complicate tax issues..

I just want to make sure I'm doing everything legally but also don't end up paying Thai taxes if I don't even need to pay US taxes.

Tax Residency - If a foreigner holding the DTV stays in Thailand for more than 183 days within the same year, do they automatically become a tax resident and eventually have file tax returns there?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hi everyone, I’m applying for a 12-month cooking course in Thailand as the basis for my DTV visa, and I have a few questions I hope someone with experience can clarify:

Q1. Leasing & Utilities

Can I sign a 12-month apartment lease in Chiang Mai while on a DTV visa, and is it possible to get the utility bills under my name (for things like proof of address, etc.)?

Q2. Multiple Long Stays

My planned schedule is:

* Stay in Thailand for 120 days (first entry)

* Leave for about a month

* Return and stay for another 120 days (second entry)

* Leave again for a month

* Return for a 50-day stay (third entry)

Since I will be spending time back in my home country between visits (not doing border runs), will immigration be okay with this pattern, or could I be questioned at re-entry?

Q3. Tax Residency & Credit Cards

If I end up becoming a Thai tax resident (over 183 days in a calendar year), are international credit card transactions (when I pay expenses directly from my home country bank/credit card) considered taxable remittances in Thailand?

Would love to hear from anyone who has done something similar or has direct experience with DTV visa rules, leasing, and tax matters 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys,

I'm from France and I want to move to Thailand next year.

I can ask for DTV Visa but I have a question dor my fellow frenchs or even belgians here.

With a DTV Visa in Thailand, can I change my tax residence and become taxed in Thailand only ?

It's very important. For those (French, belgian, german etc.) who live in Thailand with a DTV, please answer me guys.

Ps : I work online so I DON'T have any revenue from France directly like real estate or physical business.

Thank you
