Taxation of Tax Residents - look at the video 3:15.

Interesting 3 points made.

Some very good info in here I had not heard before. One thing that was new to me is banks report to revenue all accounts with over 2 million THB in or 400+ transactions a year.

Bottom line for DTV holders - unless you are remitting large amounts of money you earned in the same tax year you are tax resident then do not worry so much about tax.

EDIT: Around 30 mins they clear up ATM and CC use - yes it counts as remmitance

Been here nearly 6 month so getting close to doing my first border run. Has anyone done an organised minivan border run from pattaya for there next 180 days yet?

I messaged a local agent asking if how much for a border run, they replied 3800baht for 60 days, I replied I had the dtv so would automatically get 180 days to which they replied oh the price is 5800 baht, when I asked why they said its because you get more days, I asked why that matters it's the same distance your taking me and there's no extra cost to you. Your getting more days so you pay more was the reply! Gotta love Thailand, always a way of them getting a few extra baht when they can!!

Edit. I do have a car, just dont fancy doing the trip on my own and getting stuck on the cambodian side if for any reason i dont get back in 🙄

Question to DTV holders who did a 90 day report in Pattaya. Which documents do they require and how easy is it? Can you submit a tm 30 only for your current place or do they ask for all your tm30s? What happens if you don't have them for all your stays in Thailand?

Hey social media influencers on DTV:

Director-General Pinsai Suraswadi of the Thai Revenue Department has made it clear:

🔹 Social media influencers and online business owners must file income tax documents by the end of this month.

🔹 Failure to report income can result in severe penalties—including back taxes, interest, and fines that can increase your liability by up to 5x!

🔹 The Thai government is tracking digital footprints, making it easier than ever to detect unreported earnings.

🔹 The Revenue Department has the power to audit records going back 5 years—and the penalties include both civil and criminal consequences.

🚨UPDATE on third-party banking options like DeepPocket and Moreta, often considered alternatives for DTV holders without Thai bank accounts.

Be aware, online banking apps such as DeepPocket and Moreta have recently become popular, attracting many users.

However, after a surge in sign-ups, DeepPocket has altered its terms of service. Now, the QR-Scan feature is limited to 30-days and they will charge you 399THB every month for it!

Additionally, I ordered and received a Debit Card through the mail after waiting over a month, only to discover it's valid for less than a year…

So, if you believed these apps could fully substitute for a traditional bank account, think again! I strongly suggest securing a Thai bank account for seamless management of daily expenses.

I had my doubts from the start, suspecting these offers were too good to be true. Beware of these dubious apps that suddenly appear, tricking users into signing up only to impose fees later on.

Get a local bank account if you can!

I read, starting in May, every tourist entering Thailand will have to fill out the TM6 form before entering the country.

Will DTV holders will have to fill out a TM6 form before arriving in Thailand ?

Thanks !

Opening bank accounts is not going to be getting easier anytime soon. This is not aimed at DTV holders but it is about all accounts. Thailand seems to be getting serious about scammers and limiting bank accounts is just one tool.

"To further deter the creation of mule accounts, the BOT will make the account opening process more stringent. Banks will be empowered to refuse account openings if the applicant's circumstances are unclear or to impose transaction limits or even deny account access from the outset."

5 year drivers licenses on a DTV - experiences? I'm wondering if those who've applied for a 5 year Thai driver or motorcycle license (or both at the same time) as a renewal from an existing 5 year one that is expiring OR a 2 year one that should be eligible for an upgrade to a 5 year one, did you get a 5 year license or only a 2 year one?

I know Sefton Hanley got a 5 year license in Chiang Mai while on a DTV.

However, in Pattaya and Rayong, they're only handing out 2 year licenses to DTV holders when they go in for their renewals.

Any experiences from other offices?

I have the feeling Bangkok will renew for 5 years, but this is just a hunch.

What's the best agent in pattaya to open bank accounts for us, DTV holders?

Please recommend only the agents which are not discriminatory. I'm from a poor country. Thanks 🙏🙏
