Over 200 responses to a post yesterday regarding paying tax in Thailand. Much discussed in 2024, but not so much this year. Seems to be two groups. Those that registered, and those that haven't. My question is this - has anyone heard of anyone being prosecuted for failing to register?

Hi new to this I am planning to move to Thailand but going back to England a few times a year say 3 months in Thailand then 2 months back to England then back and forward like that. Could someone please let me know what visa I need to apply for that allows me to come and back and forth like that. I am retired and won’t be working in Thailand when I am there any advice much appreciated thanks.

Hi, I am a 66 British male and I have been living in Egypt.

I am travelling to Thailand soon, can I apply for a non o retirement visa when I arrive, if yes how please, on arrival at the airport or at the local immigration office.

I do have the 800,000 THB required for the transfer into a Thai bank account, which I can open with the retirement visa. Also I have booked accommodation for the 1st month as I need a TM30? And look for a permanent residence.

I haven't booked a flight out of Thailand, should I?

Any other useful information would be very much appreciated.

Hopefully I have supplied enough information.

I’ve read and watched several videos about retirement visa requirements. The Thailand government website says either 800k baht or meet the monthly income requirement. One video says I’d have to do both meet the monthly requirement and $800k baht. I’m sure someone here has some actual experience. Why I don’t like Google for answers . Multi answers.

Hi my Husband & I are currently in Vietnam after using up our 60 day visa, we are going to apply for the DTV 5 year visa. How long do we have to wait before applying given that we have only left Thailand for 3 weeks now, is it still 30-60 days before we can apply or because it’s the DTV can we apply online straight away? Many thanks 🙏

Hoping to get some help/guidance with my prospective DTV.

I've been looking into ways where I can live and work from Thailand, I hit every qualifying point on the LTR visa except the minimum individual income requirements, I don't make $80,000 USD per year individually myself.

The DTV seems like the way, except it seems a bit confusing or I've been getting some contradicting information on it:

• I live and work in Canada currently (Canadian Passport Holder)

• My company trades on a major stock exchange and is headquartered in USA. It does allow me to work remotely.

• The company I work for has "entities" and cost centers it can open from various locations globally where it can allow me to transfer to and work from.

• Although I don't yet have $22,000 CAD saved to show in my bank (500K THB equivalent), I should be able to come up with this in short order - likely by April.

The issue or contradicting information I'm running into is whether I'd be able to qualify for the DTV based on my company credentials. As mentioned above, the company has "global entities" and cost centers they would open up for various locations globally. Currently the company does have a position they could transfer me to and have me work from the APAC (Asia-Pacific) Region. They would open a "cost center" for me in Thailand, and essentially I would be getting paid in THB while working remotely in Thailand. This is where I believe the trouble is, as in order to qualify for the DTV, the income I'm making would need to be coming from _outside_ of Thailand - is this correct? And if so, what signifies or defines that exactly? Income sent to my Canadian Bank account (regardless of what currency it's being deposited as)? A work certificate stating that I'm a Canadian citizen working for a USA corporation being paid in Canadian dollars versus THB?

I probably didn't explain the situation as best as I could here so please feel free to ask any clarifying questions to help guide me along with this 😊

I will also use this time to ask for any leads to a well respected agency that could help with my DTV application if anyone knows - thank you in advance!

Hi guys talk of 60 day visa and the tm30. Whats the story here if l stay at my girlfriends place. Do l need to document this fact and if so with whom and when

Are airport/border immigration currently requiring to see any supporting docs for when you re enter on a DTV ?

Hi again All,

Could I get clarification please. I am now living in Ireland and when I go to Thailand I get "30 days Visa Exempt"...Am I to understand that I will now get "60 days Visa Exempt" ?

Thanking you.

May I know if I need to go back to my home country every 3 months to do something, does it mean I have to pay the 10,000baht everytime when I come back to Thailand? Or the 10,000baht is for 5 years? Does this visa suitable for me? 🤔
