So my business get larger lump sums of money during summer and slows down in winter, so my past 4-6 months looks rather dull vs my summer last year and coming...

Proving funds is fine, but if they look they won't see alot of incoming money for the past few months.

Is that going to be an issue?

Also, what is considered a digital nomad? Paying tax in my own country or in thailand?

Hello.

I own and run a portfolio of 9 UK rental properties remotely from Thailand and Cambodia. I have retirement visas in both and own a property in Thailand - usually need to fly back to the UK several times a year - and would like to change from retirement visa to DTV

On reading other people's experiences here, I've just opened a Ltd company with me as director.

Advice please on how to write the letter to myself saying I can operate this remotely.

Also, should I mention the property in Thailand/submit the yellow book?

Reason for wanting to change to DTV is that it isn't easy to have one's (in my case Cambodian) spouse accompany one on a retirement visa anymore (this is confirmed by Thai embassy, Cambodia). We will be applying in Cambodia.

Many thanks for your input.

Hello!

Last month got my DTV done from Savannakhet from an agent. I have now travelled to my home country & I will be coming to Thailand to stay for long term.

After going through various posts I came to know that there are many sub categories under which DTV is issued, so I asked my agent which category my visa is granted. I was surprised to hear 'Learn Muaythai'. I am 49 years old, not that fit health wise.

Now my doubts are:

1. Will immigration ask me about my DTV subcategory?

2. Can they ask for supporting documents? I do not have any & my agent is not giving me any documents now

3. If I want to extend my visa after 180 days within Thailand, do I have to show that I will keep on learning Muaythai or I can switch the category?

4. As a DTV holder under this category, can I do digital nomad related activities like working for my clients remotely & get paid out of Thailand?

5. I am aware that if I stay in Thailand for more than 180 days there could be tax implications on the money I bring in Thailand. But is it ONLY for the money brought in Thailand or the total income earned whilst in Thailand? I think I can use my credit card to withdraw & use cash, will it avoid taxation issues?

Any information/ insights/ suggestions welcome!

Thank you/ Danken

I'm a remote worker who primarily uses the Zoom app for call-related work. I'm considering relocating to Bangkok, and I'm wondering if this is even possible. Does anyone have any firsthand knowledge or experience with this possibility?

Hey,

I know similar things have been asked before and I know this group is about DTV (I have a DTV) and not tax. However, maybe someone can guide me in the right direction.

I have stayed 177 days in Thailand this year, meaning, if I wanted to, I could come over for a week and become a tax resident.

Now, I am not trying to avoid paying taxes in Thailand, I actually want to pay taxes in Thailand. I am not a tax resident in my homecountry anymore. So I would like to pay my total taxes in Thailand.

Does anyone have experience with paying taxes in Thailand as a digital nomad without another tax residency other than Thailand.

Can you point me in the right direction?

I have allready asked a Thai tax consultant, he didn´t seem to know or understand.

For the haters: I have always paid my taxes where I had to, I am not trying to avoid, I am trying to do right, understand and optimise.

DTV approved in Berlin Embassy in Workcation category 🥳

Hello lovely people! I promised to give a big update when my application is approved. I got a lot of info and help from this group and lovely group members. So I hope my post can help others too.

I applied on 11.10. at Berlin Embassy. I am a German citizen with a private Limited Company registered in UK and I am the Company Director of it.

I provided:

- Business registration (PDF Download from companies House)

- Self written Statement letter giving all Information about the Business activities of my Company, that I have no Business in Thailand and dont intend to Build any, that my stay in Thailand will be only for Personal reasons and that I will work Remote during my stay in Thailand (signed and wet Company stamp)

- business contract between my Company and a customer, including which Services my Company provides for that customer (b2b)

- 3 invoices from my Company showing that my Company Generates income

- flight ticket

- booking confirmation for a rented condo for 6 months

To proof 500.000 Baht I downloaded a PDF Bank Statement of my WISE Account, showing around 15.000€.

On 21.10. I received a request for further documents, explaining that my Business registration can Not be accepted, because it is Not a German document. International documents had to get legalised by an official of the State Where the Company is registered plus by the Thai Embassy in that state.

Besides that they didn‘t accept my passport photo, because I scanned one and uploaded it. So you really need to go to a Professional Studio and get a digital foto.

Because I stay in Germany at the moment I had to Order the documents from companies House, send them back to UK to get them legalised and again send them to UK Thai Embassy in London to get them legalised by them. That took me more than 4 weeks despite express shipping.

After I had all documents legalised I uploaded them and got approved on the next day 🥳

I am very happy and hope that my application story can help you. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments 😊

See you in Thailand 🙏🏻

Annie Reischmann 😊
