Could my US employer be viewed as having a Permanent Establishment in Thailand while I work on a DTV?

@Sefton *******

wouldn't one of the biggest distinctions here be your "influence actions that apply in the country they are working"? an individual on DTV in Thailand is unlikely to be setting policy for the company interacting in the local Thai economy, and for 99.99% of cases that isn't be done period. I assume your situation was fairly different.

@Sefton *******

I'm quite skeptical of that. Your personal residence doesn't establish a business one, and you're already barred from doing work within the Thai economy - for your company or not. I doubt this establishes a company presence anywhere.

I wouldn't think so if your company has no presence in Thailand. If it does, then at least in other countries, they might not actually grant a similar visa. You have it regardless anyway at this point. Note this doesn't change your personal tax obligation either though.

Why was my entry denied by the immigration officer in Thailand despite having a DTV?

Mike **********

Anonymous participant 957 I avoid bringing up work, but the DTV explicitly allows you to do it if you're not competing in the Thai labor market.

What are the updated requirements and benefits of the LTR 10-year Visa in Thailand?

Mike **********

because the requirements make no sense. Iirc they projected 250k people a year to get these, and never even got 10.

Why are Thai massage classes not considered a form of soft power for the DTV visa?

Mike **********

education visas needed to be for accredited schools, I only ever heard of language, cooking, and muay thai. I'm not sure if DTV soft power needs to be accredited or not. if this has never been an option though, that may be the reason why.

@Charles *******

you cannot compete with Thai labor. You can't make a website for a Thai cafe, even if you have your own non Thai company.
