Anonymous participant 238 is a Special tourist visa! Which means I can work remotely from Thailand and I can stay here for up to 5 years. And I clearly say it to the officers. But for some reason people on Facebook try to convince me: you'll be denied to enter the next time. Why? Lol 😆

@Todd ********

i prefer Thai tea 😅 well, the consulate has category non-immigrant and tourist visas (and others). DTV is under non-immigrant visas so it's clearly not a normal tourist visa. Working remotely on a tourist visa is a grey zone - on DTV is a green zone. We can find more differences.

🤣

@Dom *******

I'm not so sure. For example on Los Angeles consulate DTV is under non immigrant visas.

@Wayne ********

please use correct terms. You are a resident of Thailand if you live there and you don't need any documents for that. You are a tax resident after spending at least 180 days there. You're talking probably about permanent residence which is completely different things and most of the time not relevant to dtv visa.

@Pete ******

it's in the response to the posts like: I've seen a guy who was denied to enter Thailand at the airport or had to buy a return ticket.

this post is in the response to the posts like: I've seen a guy who was denied to enter Thailand at the airport or he had to buy a return ticket. In my opinion it's a bs. Either they abuse the visa or sth else has happened. I strictly follow the rules of DTV visa and I see no reason to be denied the entry or get deported lol. On DTV we have almost all advantages of a non-o resident visa (except working here and some details). I'm not gonna panic reading those posts, and I believe they are not true. I meet all the criteria of the visa so I can receive all the advantage of the visa

@Lianne *******

i don't want to work in Thailand lol. Working remotely for overseas companies I can earn at least 5 times more for the same work.
