What are the advantages of a one-year Non O retirement visa over a five-year DTV in Thailand?

John **********

@Alan *********

DTV is for digital Nomads working remotely. A Non-B visa is for work in Thailand

What are the advantages of a one-year Non O retirement visa over a five-year DTV in Thailand?

John **********

DTV is a glorified tourist visa, you can't live inside Thailand year round like you can with a non-immigrant visa, you have difficulty opening bank accounts, you can't get a 5 year driving licence and so on

Can I misrepresent my DTV type as workation at the border if I have a freelance activity?

John **********

Even if it's not actually written in the visa it may well be recorded in the system. Why would you risk being denied entry?

Do I need a departure ticket after obtaining a DTV visa and what are the TM30 and TM90 requirements for stay in Thailand?

John **********

The place you will stay should do the TM30. You need to do a 90 day report if you are inside Thailand for 90 consecutive days

Is it easy to get a 180-day extension on a soft power visa in Thailand?

John **********

For the extension you need to show you still qualify, so money in the bank, signed up for an activity, etc. Basically similar to the original application. A border bounce is much easier

What happens if my landlord doesn't file a TM30 for my condo in Thailand?

John **********

If you have a valid lease with your landlords details on it including house registration etc you might be able to do it yourself. Generally you need a TM30 for any interaction with immigration including doing 90 day reports

How should a business owner in photography create an employment contract or certificate?

John **********

@Joel ******

something along those lines but I'd forget photography and friends. It's meant to be a business. I'd just go with remote editing of of images, the sale of prints from a library of existing images, and so on

@Joel ******

then I would concentrate on that rather than the fact you are a photographer

John **********

How can a photographer work remotely? It doesn't seem physically possible

Is it necessary to complete a 90-day reporting when flying out of Thailand on the due date?

John **********

@Matteo **********

if you are inside Thailand for 90 consecutive days from your last report (or entry) you are required to report. Whether you do or not is up to you. The fine is only 2k baht even if you are here for a year without reporting
