Not if someone has tax residency in another country. DTV holders are tourists. Tourists are not taxed, otherwise tourism would fail

@Christer ****
Many retirees have switched to DTV, and there are thousands on "soft power" categories. Bottom line is DTV is a tourist visa, so very unlikely anyone would be subject to tax. Digital nomads will probably also be paying tax in the country where they receive payment. So that doesn't work either

@Christer ****
That's a longshot. Very few tourists will pay tax in a country where they don't even have a substantial residency qualification. The 180-day rule is simply a starting point, but so many other factors have to be considered. There's even thousands of retirees living here on long-term visas who pay zero tax

Correct. People bandy this 90-day shit around everywhere

The OCPB only deals with substantiated complaints. If the bank is simply exercising its rights under the Terms And Conditions which EVERYBODY agreed to and signed, the complaint will go nowhere. Anyone who used an agent to either open their account or use the dodgy 800k funds transfer method will simply have to wait their turn until investigations are concluded.

Bangkok Bank is winding back their online banking website. They want their customers to use the app

Use Wise in conjunction with Bangkok Bank. This way the transfer always shows up as international transfer when you select Funds for longstay in Thailand reason

Have you ever used your account to obtain an extension through a visa agent?
