Is it possible to apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) as a tourist in Korea?

Michael ********

Man, that sounds like an awful waste of time AND expensive... Took me less than a week to do it in Sydney.

If i was in Asia doing it I'd just research what the easiest embassy is and fly there. Why would you make things so difficult for yourself?

Can I open a bank account in Thailand with a DTV visa, and what documents are required?

Michael ********

Increasing foreigner tax residents by introducing a 5 year visa with 180 days renewal coupled with the change in tax laws clearly shows a connection dumbass.

Can I open a bank account in Thailand with a DTV visa, and what documents are required?

Michael ********

It's a bit silly I was able to open a bank acct on a 6 month muay thai visa in 2019 but it's harder to on a 5 year DTV one lol. If they want me to bring money in and pay taxes I need a thai bank account! Isn't that the whole point 😛

How does staying in Thailand for more than 180 days affect a Dutch citizen's tax obligations?

Michael ********

Classic mistake that people make: YOU ARE NOT A CITIZEN OF THE WORLD. YOU ARE A TAX RESIDENT OF WHATEVER YOUR CITIZENSHIP ON YOUR PASSPORT IS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A CURRENT TAX RESIDENCY. STOP TRYING TO AVOID TAX THIS WAY. THERE ARE LEGAL WAYS TO DO IT THROUGH OFFSHORE COMPANIES BUT IT IS COMPLEX AND OFTEN TIMES NOT WORTH THE HASSLE. The end.
