What are the requirements for extending a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand and are border runs a better option?

Dave *****

it’s actually easier to do border runs than dicking around with extensions. I don’t know why people do it.

Can confirm. Border run - with few days gap at least is your best bet.

Will Thailand really tax worldwide income for residents starting January 2025?

Dave *****

CRS dataset isn’t rich enough to determine tax liabilities. For example, it will only report end balance at reporting period and not the transactions. Mostly it is used to determine where the tax residency of the account holder is.

How much simpler can the process be? I mean as far as long term visa application processes go, I thought DTV was easy as.

Why was my DTV visa application denied after being told I qualified by the consulate staff?

Dave *****

@Klee *************

Most likely this. I submitted my trading account with 1mil+ and they refused. But they did ask me to submit document again - which I did with savings account. I am surprised they didn’t give you the chance to resubmit docs.

Is a one-day paid cooking class sufficient to obtain the DTV visa in Thailand?

Dave *****

@Roberto ********

yes and that is the mandate of the MFA. Which is different to the mandate of immigration who ultimately has the last say. Let’s wait and see.

Sounds odd. Your job/work situation is the prime target. Maybe that is not why your were rejected? What did you show for financials?

Hello mate. For questionable ED visas, they pull people aside, go into a separate area and asked them questions like “can you speak Thai”? “What is the name of your teacher?” etc. Failing this, they would not grant permission. This was very common and I know few people who got rejected this way.
