I think they just want tourists with money , DTV is the only way to check which is why they are more forcing now. It’s smart to be fair

Yep

Anonymous participant 118 most of them will still be tax resident in their own countries. It’s a lot of work to take on the different tax rules and regulations of 100s of different nationalities. Makes more sense to make it more difficult to not spend a straight 180 period in Thailand then push the responsibility and burden back on the traveller

Just tax on remitted money in, plus it is highly unlikely DTV will lead to tax. They are already making it highly difficult to renew and encouraging people to leave instead

Throw in investments that are low risk above 5 % per year and then remit what you need to Thailand when you need it

@Arawan ******

no I went they don’t accept

Yeh DTV and bank is not possible , people keep saying it is but it’s not and a lot of the rules are fairly new. They are clamping down anyway on account opening so this visa is just bad timing

@Andi **********

within the last 6 months ? I’ve visited 30 banks and so far all say the same thing , I must change my visa

It doesn’t seem anywhere is possible to open with DTV

No over stay is worth it no matter what the clowns on here say. Will always hurt you in the future. It even proves to other nations and countries you don’t care for visas and could affect those other visa applications. Just cross the border or pay the extra 10k on the flight
