hi guys! we're preparing to apply for our dtv visa. thanks for all the help 🫶🏼

here i share just a few more questions that i haven't found very clear info at the moment:

1. i understand you can stay up to 180 days per fiscal year. but what happens or what options do we have if we'd want to stay longer? and is this condition related to taxes?

for example: we'd like to leave thailand before our 180 days run out, but then re-enter the country the same year (like a visa run) so we don't lose our apartment contract. we'd also have our pets home to quickly get back to.

2. how does the 180 extension works then? you pay and you can stay the whole year?

3. you also have to make 90-days report. what's the name of this document or form to fill?

thank you 🙏🏻

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! 🙏😊

Has anyone applied for DTV as a Freelancer? I know about the portfolio and invoices that need to be shown. I have also seen some forums talking about tax returns as well and want to know if proof of taxes is required.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what percentage of tax I need to pay while staying on a DTV visa? Is that percentage fixed for all DTV holders, or does it vary?

I am on a DTV visa as a freelancer. Can I open an online shop, make handmade artwork, sell and ship from Thailand to non-Thai customers, or will this be considered a local business? Any advice?

Has anyone applied for a Tax Identification Number (TIN) in Pattaya recently?

What documents were required? I would like to avoid multiple trips to the revenue office.

TIA

Does anyone think with the nee pm things may change again ??? Speaking to a Thai friend and a lot of Thais thjnk things will change regards costs of visa etc

Does anyone know the tax rules on the new dtv visa? I have been told by my agent everything I send from my uk bank to a Thai bank will be taxed.

1. ?.. Can I go to pattaya immigration and get a 12 month extension on my current 60 day tourist visa amd already extended 30 days? ( i figure this is a long shot?)

2. Retire Visa is what i thought?....but I only plan on maybe 6 mos. each year here and then back to the lake in States when too hot and rainy here.

Just saw amd concerned at being taxed past 179 days here??!-

If I will only stay here 175 days a year/ single trip...from USA.

What would be best/ most cost effective type of Visa for me??

Just thinking with avg of 6 mos. here each yr right now...is retire visa the best option right now?

Thanks for answers!!

Hello. Does anyone currently have the Thai Elite Visa and give any advice about your experience obtaining/having one vs the LTR visa? Thank you.
