@Galenus *****

no thats not necessarily true either.

This has not been tested yet as to what effect it will have.

Too many variables such as DTAs with different countries.

It remains to be seen in the 2025 tax season how and if it will effect AND if it gets implemented at all.

At this point it's a voluntary registration for a tax number, if they'll even give you one.

@John *******

no it doesn't work like that.

A multi entry visa allows unlimited entries.

You can bounce in and out 10x a year and come back and get 6 mths each time.

for some it's a great visa.

@Galenus *****

DTV Is a multi entry visa, he only needs to bounce out and get another 180 days.. can do that as many times as he'd like.

He will also be able to extend it in country but will have to shows funds and qualify...

Easier to just bounce in and out.

@Jen *********

you can't work in Thailand on a DTV either, you have to remote work offshore.

As many retirees do in the privacy of there own home.

@Jay ******

then you will need to register.

If you do not have to do an extension it won't be a problem.

You are likely registered tm30 in the Hotel, your Last registered stay.

To be completely legal you should be registered where you are now.

But if you are leaving without having to deal with immigration for anything, they will not know.

REGARDLESS of anyone's personal experience, the RULE is simple for tourists.

Proof of exit from Thailand within the time allotted is what is required.

Whether the airline ask for it or Thai immigration asks for it is irrelevant.

So people roll the dice.

It is no different than being required to have a license to drive,

It only matters if a cop asks for it.

YMMV

A casual group meeting gathering no problem.

Any "services", instruction, performance, class etc.

Could be construed as work and require proper visa.

You may not have a problem but a single complaint could lead to deportation.

Almost all illegal workers are caught by complaints.

Very rarely is it a random check.

@Kimberly *******

the 90 day report and Tm30 address registration is a way they track our whereabouts while in Thailand.

All foreign nationals must be registered Tm30 regardless of length of stay.

90 day report is for longer stay foreigners.

@Mark **********

DTV is multi-entry

No reentry permit required.
