@Andrew *******

You are a tax resident when you have been in Thailand 180 days during a calendar year. Those days do not need to be consecutively.

@Andrew *******

Sure.

But that was not a part of my statement.

I am asking if the person is going to be working remotely.

If they are, the ED is simply not an option.

Are you going to be doing any kind of remote work?

DTV is your only legal option.

Yes, that is place.

Bring your receipt for the TM30.

And be prepared to pay a fine if you are late.

Here's a link to a map.

Why? You are making claims, and you are unwilling to back them up. Deflecting the fact by calling me clueless.

I am honestly wanting to know, so I can keep myself updated. But if you're gonna be all "trust me, bro" and not provide any sources for anything, your information is worth nothing and should be disregarded completely.

@Lucas *********

Seriously though, I really want to know.

But I can't think of anything, so have no idea to what to even look for in my quest for this knowledge.

@Lucas *********

So I'm right then, and you can't actually prove your claims?

Cool, cool.

@Lucas *********

enlighten me, kind sir.

What would require someone to have a bank account if they were here on a DTV?

If he went the Non-O based on retirement-route, he would need one for his extension of stay. But he would then also be eligible for getting one.

But I can't think of anything else that would absolutely require him to have a bank account.

I would honestly love to know.

@Lucas *********

bank account I agree with. But bank account is not really necessary.

License does not require any visa.

Only difference will be when you renew the licenses.

Can't legally work with the retirement path though.

@Lucas *********

what perks?
