Is my application for the DTV hopeless after returning to Chiang Mai?

Rok ********

I am not sure why not to remain on Non-O. If just to avoid the 800,000 deposit they are certainly aware of this scenario and they do not like it. You could’ve extended non-O on 65,000 per month remittances.

Will I lose my DTV visa if I exit Thailand just after my 180 days is up?

Rok ********

I would not dare to even think about overstaying in Australia or USA or Canada … even a day. Why would Thai rules be any different: plenty of time to re-enter within 180 days or simply taking a local bus from Ekkamai to Poipet at maybe 100 baht travel there. An overstay stamp is never a good thing in your passport or on your records.

What are the requirements and challenges for extending a DTV visa in Thailand, and is a border run a better option?

Rok ********

@Sean **********

the agents have a huge commercial interest AGAINST the DTV visa. They will try to get you on a more lucrative visa. I however can see the DTV visa becoming a liability the ED visa became.

Why can't I open a bank account with a DTV visa in Thailand?

Rok ********

Not hard to open on non-O visa. You will need an agent as DTV is effectively a multi-entry tourist visa.

Rok ********

I always use Skype for mobile and landline numbers; price per minute crazy cheap. Of course still get a local sim as data usually more stable than any wifi.

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

Rok ********

Anonymous participant 635 yes. Thankfully still remittance basis only but probably not for long. All countries are moving to worldwide income including assets for wealth tax.
