not on TR or visa exempt entry they don't (shouldn't rather).

Initially many offices were giving 5 year licenses on renewal, I was renewed for 5 years while on a DTV (no longer am) but this is office dependant and I believe become less common.

You will have to ask the office you intend to renew at if they offer it. You absolutely can obtain another 2 year license, that is offered to anyone even people without any visa at all.

You could likely obtain a DTV but not by telling them what you just said.

Application as a LTD owner who works online, with proven business records.. Gets a DTV to 'work remote'.

If you say you dont work remote, you wont get one.

Make of that what you will.

recently.

Many branches accept married or condo owners having accounts on a DTV.

As is often the case, there's no actual ban just guidance and local decisions. Deposit a few million baht in the bank and watch those 'rules' just fade away.

entirely office dependant.. Brother got a yellow book on a tourist visa 60 day entry.

DTV_Begpacker Not true at all..

Many branches consider condo ownership a valid enough reason to offer an account. I would even say start trying with the condo blue book.

Anonymous participant Unlikely in local SEA offices but you can only gamble and lose the application fee..

No one other than the embassy can confirm otherwise.

DTV_Begpacker visa is irrelevant (except LTR) its time in country NOT visa that establishes tax residence.

This video clearly states the actual rules.

Enforcement of the rules appears inconsistent even non existent, that confuses westerners for some reason. Why I don't know as that's the same on almost every rule here aside from 112.
