No need for re-entry permit. Fresh 180 day stamp at every entry.

@Iain ********

Only for money from outside of Thailand. No employment / business activity within Thailand.

@Denise *******

Wenn Ihr in Malaysia beantragt, dann werdet ihr wohl beglaubigte Übersetzungen benötigen. Ich würde es eher riskieren es über ein Konsulat in Deutschland zu probieren - wenn ihr dort noch gemeldet seid.

@Neil *****

Maybe. I just wrote what I had in the back of my head. Didn’t check for changes in that area in a while.

First of all: unless you are US American or open a very special business via BOI, you cannot fully „own“ any business. You can own a 49% share in a business with Thai partners holding the rest. There are ways (preferential shares) to still remain in control as a minority shareholder - though gray area. Having said that: in order to legally work even for your (co-) owned company, you would need to switch to a business visa and get a work permit. But you would only get a work permit for „your“ company, if that company has 2 million baht of nominal capital and 4 Thai employees hired for every foreigner with a work permit (including yourself).

Unless you are US American or establish a special BOI company: the ration is 49% foreigner and 51% Thai. You need at least 3 people / parties. There are ways to still remain in control via preferential shares. But gray area.

@Colin ******

Confirms what I said … reported is only the account balance at the end of the year … not individual transactions.

@Philip *********

It’s 180 days (including the day of arrival) and 179 NIGHTS.

@Colin ******

The CRS only reports the existence of bank accounts held an their balance at the end of the year - NOT individual transactions.

Great overview. Curious: It mentions there that the DTV application must be made at the consulate or the country of (remote) employment. I am not sure that is correct. So far it seemed that the DTV application must be made from wherever the applicant is based at the time of application.
