Nobody moving here with DTV would be filing taxes yet (if starting either DTV) . You typically file taxes the year after you stayed more than 180 days, regardless of visa type. 2025 taxes to be filed in 2026…..
if you travel to Thailand on short term visa or visa exemption the airline sometimes ask for return ticket to let you board. Officially its requirement.
If you plan to do it repeatedly, then DTV. METV doable, but you would have to apply every year. And repeatedly doing 9 months on METV might cause issues after a couple years of repeating.
For only 3 months, visa exemption if you qualify (as long as it stays 60 days)
Anonymous participant 627 are you sure about that? I think as long as you don’t activate the visa (don’t enter with it) you can apply in another country, then enter with the DTV.
ouch, sorry to hear that. You may be able to head to for example Jakarta and apply immediately as long as you don’t activate the METV (Don’t enter Thailand with it)
