Yes, but you are aware banks are closing accounts of DTV holders? It won't happen immediately for everyone, but it will in due course. Banks now won't take risks
Mark ********
On a side note, just be aware you cannot have a Thai bank account on DTV. If you have one already it will be closed and your money refunded to you

Not necessarily. Every country has different requirements for tax residency, so it's possible to have dual tax residency (which I have). However I am not required to pay tax in Thailand, as I have zero assessable income, as under Article 4 of the DTA, I am deemed a resident solely of Australia, due to permanent home and economic ties. There would be many people in a similar situation

It's not even that complicated. If you have a "permanent home" in your home country you're not required to pay taxes in Thailand on money brought in from overseas

@Lynnette ******
You just retain tax residency in your home country

It sounds like you're doing things the hard way. I do the transfer manually at the beginning of every month, always used Wise/Bangkok Bank and never had a problem. People talk about the "issues" with Bangkok Bank but I've yet to experience that. I wonder what a lot of these people have been up to, probably using agents to falsify the 800k in their accounts. As far as I'm concerned those that have used agents in the past to make dodgy transactions can go suck eggs.
