Hello, has anyone applied for DTV in Taipei via learning Thai soft power track? I was told that I need workcation related documents to apply for soft power in Taipei? I am semi-retired and don't have month to month income, but I have adequate amount well above >500,000 bhat to sustain myself living in Thailand for at least 5 years. Anyone with similar situation or have helpful information on this care to chime in? Thank you! 🙏

If someone has had the experience of applying through the UK office for a workstation DTV - as a freelancer - did they want to see a specific amount of monthly income (as in something deem reasonable to live on as a montly allowance) or is it mainly based on the savings? I ask because I have more than the required amount in savings, but I have cut my work down for a few months, and so really only earn pocket money at this point. Is it best to increase my work to show a higher monthly income, or is it not relevant? thanks for any insight.

On the whole taxes deal starting in 2024...

theoretically...

What if someone kept the 800,000 in the bank from 2023 (before taxes) and lived just on ATM debit withdrawals mostly.

Wouldn't that really reduce the tax exposure? And also just had the absolute minimum needed for survival coming into the bank.

For me I want to keep putting in 65,000 a month - just so I can eventually get the 800,000 back after a year.

But I wondered if this was another option.
