😅 we are discussing DTV visa. Not tourist visa……And that's a generic infographic.

- DTV has a validity period of 5 years, you have 5 years to enter.

- Tourist Visas has 3 months validity, you have 3 months to enter.

It really isn't more complicated than that

@Wannikea ********

why? Its a 5 year validity. Not 3 months as the SETV and METV

@Wannikea ********

many embassies require actual tickets 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Holly ******

its great group. Even has a search function and scroll function to see previous posts 😊

DTV Dude true money definitely better. Street food gets old fast anyway. (And generally unhealthy) They still take cash.

True money for, , electric, water and internet bills. As well as most QR pay.

Wise/revolut/other credit cards/apple pay/android pay works for allot as well.

Wise transfer for rent.

Cash for the tiny rest. Truemoney gets you 95% there.

It is annoying they shut down the account, but very possible to live here without thai Bank Account. Glad I bought the car before they froze the account.

@Holly ******

granted, some are being needlessly rude. But, this is being asked every day, multiple times day. Do a quick search before asking questions repeated so many times 🙏

@Nick ******

elite visa is most definitively a tourist visa…..

@Ron ***

where are you getting your facts from? Work permit doesn’t matter, visa doesn’t matter.

Sure, cant work without work permit. But you can legally bring in money from legal work outside Thailand . Which would be subject to Thai Tax law when remitted into Thailand IF spending more than 180 days in Thailand. Regardless of what visa

@Pete ******

thats what I said. You only file IF you have assessable remittance or income

@Dominik *************

it definitely changes. But you have to consider both countries in terms of of income. Your tax may have to be be paid in home/employment country. Depends on the country in question.

If you spend more than 180 days in Thailand, you are legally supposed to file any income in Thailand as well. IF its actually remitted or spent here. But dual tax agreements may allow you to deduct paid tax at home as tax credits (effectively no tax in Thailand, but still technically duty to report)

Wealth and investments however, you would only tax in Thailand if thats where you spend most of your time. Ans only on gains/remittances into Thailand

Tax is a complicated subject and depends on allot of factors.

If you are completely independent/not employed. And your clients are NOT Thai. You may be able to set up a structure where you pay tax only in Thailand IF you spend more than 180 days here.

It all depends on so many factors
