how do they conclude the remittance in was income from 2023 vs. 2024? I am skeptical of this being enforced well if at all in the near term really.

Thai employment is independent of tax residency. Probably a hard reading is you're a resident for tax purposes if there > 180d

you'll be able to find a gym you like and most should do a pretty good job with new foreigners. I'm not familiar if the DTV requires you to go to the school you attend, but I assume you'll have invested some funds to at least start out as a student at an accredited gym.

You're responsible for the tax, not the company. Tax treaty typically means you owe here if over 180d but home country would reduce the amount you owe by the taxes you paid. You're best off consulting an average accountant

everyone intuits you'd be working there because 99% of the time you would be back home. It's hard enough to start a new business already. You know how to hang up drywall so you do that, oh you can go fix this thing, oh you're the owner so you'll set the schedule, etc. totally fine back home, and here you're arguably taking away from Thai labor for any task you do. So you basically can do none.

@Paul ********

do you not understand the difference between working from thailand vs. participating in the thai labor market?

@Paul ********

what is so crazy? if you are working online you are not competing with thai labor. a work visa is for participating in the thai economy as labor.

above posted on wrong thread, but in regards to your self employed but on 150m platform part

@Michael ********

Michael Ballman what does that mean? I don't understand how you are hitting this requirement. also these requirements seem like they are intending for people to qualify 90% of the way there but not actually have barely anyone get actually able to qualify and use the program, for completely arbitrary reasons.

@Tod ********

what if by air?
