Do not include your Thai work orbit and non b. People have been denied because the person processing believed they would work with Thai clients and income sources. Use only non Thai clients and trade.

Ohh and I just checked my DTV issued last year and no where on the DTV or the entry stamp does it have any mention of tourist visa.

Where does it say that as you claim ?

People get deported for committing crimes, and have thier visas cancelled when that happens, constantly.. To say it never happens is just ridiculous. That is just one of many reasons why they can be cancelled (as happens literally daily when people wish to transition visa classes).

There is no current system of ongoing checks on DTVs, but if you were to go and tell local immigration you no longer qualified for the DTV on the grounds you applied, the chances of them cancelling the visa and giving you the 7 days to leave stamp is VERY real.

@Siggi ******

Visas do get cancelled. Again your simply saying things that are not true.

@Siggi ******

No it isn't. A tourist visa is a tourist visa, a destination thailand visa is a destination thailand visa. They are different in every aspect of implementation and are treated differently (5 year driving licenses for example) in country. They have different working permissions and quite simply, nothing about them is the same.

As to visas being valid until expiry, that again is wrong when a visa has a grounds of issue. If they issue a tourist visa then you can always be a tourist, if they issue a work visa it is valid when you are still in work. That's how all the other classes work.

Enforcement is of course not consistent.

@Siggi ******

DTV isn't a tourist in fact working online while on a tourist visa wild be talk in itself and no longer having any work while using a DTV based on online work is highly suspect.

Anonymous participant 495 standard part of Thai immigration rules. If your ground for issue change your no longer entitled to the visa.

Divorce ?? 7 days to leave. Death of a partner ?? Same. Lose you job ?? Same.

This is how they work.

exactly as I predicted..

Anonymous participant 241 it would still mean income earned after jan 1 04 and not remitted at least the year after earned became taxable.. Not an issue until 06 but going forward it would be.

It basically encourages onshoring of income in the year or year after getting it.
