Can you apply for a DTV visa using a Thai company registration as a director/shareholder?

John **********

No chance of the DTV being approved based on that. You can't have any relationship with a Thai entity

Can you renew a 5-year driving license with a DTV in Thailand?

John **********

DTV is basically a tourist visa so I don't think that allows for a 5 year licence. Some DLT offices won't even give you a 2 year licence unless your on a non-immigrant visa

Can I obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) while in Thailand with my home country motorcycle license?

John **********

You can get an IDP in Thailand but only if you have a Thai licence. If you want to drive in Thailand on your home country licence then you need to get the IDP in your home country before you leave

Will my German company have to pay taxes in Thailand if I hold a DTV visa and work remotely?

John **********

OK you need to ensure that you don't create any relationships between the German company and a Thai company but as your on a DTV that should not be possible anyway. For you personally if you are Thai tax resident and bring income into Thailand during a tax year you will have to file a Thai tax return. You may or may not have to pay tax

Can I apply for a dependent visa for my girlfriend without a marriage certificate in Thailand?

John **********

You don't. Being married is a requirement for a dependent. She'd have to get her own visa

You can't apply for a DTV from inside Thailand. You need to travel to the country you want to apply from before starting your application

Can I apply for a Thai DTV visa online from a different country than my citizenship?

John **********

I wasn't suggesting you go to Rome. I was saying that if you apply online giving Cyprus as your location it will be processed by the people in Rome
