What are the requirements for extending the 180-day DTV Muay Thai visa in Thailand?

Sefton ********

Immigration officers have a long and well established history of saying things rather than saying 'we dont know'..

At this point anything said by regional offices not stated by central HQ is entirely suspect and not worth considering as factual.

Will I need to pay double tax in both the UK and Thailand under a DTV Visa?

Sefton ********

Will you need to pay, no one can answer from that limited info.. Too many other factors.

You can (probably) have assessable income that needs a tax return which may or may not generate a liability depending on many variables.

@Kristoffer *********

potentially yes.. Visa does not generally change tax liability (LTR excepted), source of income time incountry and DTA does.

There is also the issue of liability v assessability, and the declarations that may be needed to ensure compliance (at this point even professionals disagree).

Sefton ********

No one can answer this.. Immigration HQ have been 100% silent on availability and requirements for extensions.

Various regional offices have made a range of comments, which are best categorised as guesses and a cultural inability to admit 'I dont know' at this point.

Why was I stamped for only 9 May instead of 27 June upon re-entering Thailand on a DTV visa?

Sefton ********

No restamped 180 days on arrival.. Consistently, all over. Including my own.

This is the first report I have read of any deviation.
