Has anyone gotten a DTV but has mysterious sources of income. I make approx $10000 a month but don’t have a company- I stream on twitch from time to time and have subs on patreon. ( no nudity or anything at all) and have a big Twitter page with 50k where I get sent gifts under $. Or should I apply for soft power. Thanks :)
Hello, I am currently in Thailand and will soon start freelancing. I have seen several people doing the DTV process from Vietnam. I would like to know if I can telework for a few weeks from Vietnam to justify my income? Is it legally allowed? and which kind of visa do I need in Vietnam? (I am French)
Would you please recommend reliable agents to assist with DTV visa proccess (Bangkok, Pattaya, HuaHin area but can be the whole Thailand) and if you know how high are fees for such assistance? I would appreciate your help, thank you so much!
I'm interested in applying DTV to get 180 days stay permit in Thailand. i have checked all the requirements and i have no problem with them except the professional portfolio requirement. Had anyone experienced this before you start a digital nomad life but you need the portfolio now to enter Thailand?
Ref : *“Subject to Thai tax should you stay longer than 180 days”*
Need some help/advice please
Currently living in the UK and looking at a DTV visa. I understand criteria and that this is technically a 5yr visa where you need to leave every 180 days and your income must not be derived from Thailand, I would also been deemed a Thai resident for tax purposes. I’m fine with all these points
What I don’t understand is, when I stay over 180 days I become subject to ‘Thai Tax’.
I fully understand UK tax (income tax) but can anyone please clarify what specific Thai tax’s I would become subject to??
My intention is to run a UK bank account & Uk Credit Card, i.e. Revoult & Starling & Amex for withdrawals, rental/condo/restaurant/bill payments etc. I will NOT remit/transfer any money to a Thai Bank. I guess I will have some bills in my name. I assume this arrangement is how most digital nomads operate
Would using apps such as TAGTHAi be deemed as remitting money to Thailand?
(Ironically i've heard the thai banks are closing all accounts down for non-residents without a long term visa, hence i couldn’t even get a thai bank account even if i tried).
i read i would need to file a tax return TIN every 6 months (which I understand I pay for) but would my actual tax liability be; ฿0 thb based on the info I’ve provided?
I have a DTV visa. (Digital nomad). My work is around the world. I understand with this visa that means I cannot be an employee of any Thai companies. However, If undertaking my own work am I permitted to provide my services to a Thai client and bill them from my home country? Is that acceptable with this kind of visa? Typically consulting assignments are short term.
I want to Bank in the land of smile to make life easier but there were more frustration than smiles. Yes, there are other method but you may be prone to Scam using hard cash plus there isn't a paper trial.
I live near On Nut and I read the banks in Big C may be more forgiving so I gave it a try and here is my experience.
I tried TTB, SCB, Bangkok Bank
I called TTB at Digital Park which about 1 month ago told me to try head office and they now said no.
I have the following docs and they didn't even ask or take a look at any of my docs. I tried the supposedly magic words "Remote Worker" they don't care. They ask what Visa and the moment they hear DTV. It's a No Can KAA! or You have work permit? No Can KAA!

DTV Remote Worker
I'm either going to try the True Money method with 20k limit
or use cash or wait until the whole banking thing cool down.
lmk if you know other method that would make life easier using QR.
I'm planning to apply for a DTV workation in Hanoï in the next few days.
Here is the rationale: I have spent the last 9 months in Thailand doing pretty much nothing, travelling and diving, and catching up with my friends (I used to work in Bkk for 3 years with work permit).
I do have a french company that I have opened last year but never used it.
I want to start my activities now online but have no history.
For all I read, you all had a legitimate business before requesting DTV, so I'm a bit concerned.
