Hi Guys.

My application was accepted last Thursday in Cambodia. Workation. I was worried about being asked for tax returns etc but that never happened. Flew in last Friday and was asked no questions. Stamped in for 6 months.

I have a few questions;

1. I'm considering doing a Bachelor's degree, potentially at a university in Thailand, possibly online with Open University. Would it be possible to do that on a DTV?

2. If I did do the degree here, I'd be working very little (online, with an employer based in another country) and getting support from my Thai partner. Would I still be expected to pay tax on the little that I earn?

3. Am I expected to register where I am staying? It seems a bit pointless, as one of the reasons to get a DTV is to live a semi-nomadic lifestyle, moving from place to place. Who do I report this information to?

Thanks for your help so far....

Was any DTV Holder a Thai-Tax resident (over 180d in country)? What are your tax plans? Since they know all your income in detail.

So I have the DTV approval but a bit worried about double taxation. Did they ever offer insight into how taxes would work for people who stay over 6 months?

Does anyone knows if its correct? 🙏

For the Canadian digital nomads who own a rental property and moved to Thailand: When you moved to Thailand, did you do anything specific to become a "non-resident for tax purposes" of Canada? I'm in Thailand over a year now and am just learning about this 🤦‍♂️ Concerned I may need to pay significant taxes that I didn't expect.

Eg. I am learning I may need to pay 25% of rent I collected as tax to the government.

I'm talking with my accountant now about it, but wanted to get others' experiences.

I am retiring to Thailand in March 2025 from America. I am 54 and will have my 800,000 Baht in my Thai bank account. I will be staying in U-Thong, Suphan Buri District. I am looking to hire an agent to help me with the Retirement Visa the first year so I don't make any mistakes. Can someone recommend an agent to me? Thank you in advance. 🙏Please DM me
