Can the DTV visa holder stay in Thailand for more than 180 days per year?

John **********

Bebbieluu depending on what assessable income you bring into Thailand you will need to file and pay any Thai tax due. If the country where you otherwise pay tax has a dual tax agreement with Thailand you can claim a credit for any tax already paid on that income against Thai tax as part of the process

Nobody can tell you that without a lot more information. Nationality, ages of all, purpose of visit and so on. Start by researching the appropriate visa options on the Thai evisa website

I would say if all you are doing is FIFO for work you are to all intentents and purposes living in Thailand and are not a tourist. In my view immigration are correct to tell you to get a visa appropriate for that
