it depends. If the country where you pay tax in the EU has a dual tax agreement with Thailand then you can claim a tax credit against Thai tax for tax already paid on the money you bring in

I've a feeling Jomtien also want to see seasoned funds even for the initial 90 day Non-O

You would make your life easier by exiting to a nearby country and applying for a 90 day Non-O visa there using funds in your home bank. Once you have the visa return to Thailand, go to immigration and get a residence certificate, then go to a bank and open an account. Transfer in a minimum of 800k baht as soon as you can as it needs to be in place for 2 full calendar months before applying for the 12 months extension of stay. Much better doing it yourself than using an agent that can lead to issues down the line

You need the actual statements, screenshots aren't normally acceptable. Just download the statements in PDF format from your banking app

Many countries don't need a visa to enter Japan for differing periods. If you are from a country on the list you can just travel

Since you can't apply for the DTV in Thailand you don't need any information relating to Thailand except permission from an employer to work there if that's the reason you apply. The Hanoi consulate serves a specific area in Vietnam so anywhere in the area would be fine

@Sefton *******

not all LTR visas are equal. The Remote Worker option is not so easy to obtain and isn't suitable for digital nomads

Anonymous participant 717 No, the other is the LTR Remote Worker visa

It's not strictly legal to work remotely from Thailand on a tourist entry, people do it but they keep it quiet. The DTV is one of only 2 visas that allow you to do so legally

I fail to see how you can spend 10-11 months inside Thailand every rolling 12 month period and avoid being a Thai tax resident. If you spend 180 days or more inside Thailand in any calendar year you are automatically a tax resident. So if you spend 358 consecutive days in Thailand straddling 2 years (179×2), you would then have to remain outside of Thailand for the remainder of that 2nd year which would be 186 days.
