@Gianni *******

what is different with what I said?

@Nick ******

Congratulations on the perfect summary of your previous contributions. Everything useful is still there, and it takes much less time to read. There are now only three superfluous words.

@Nick ******

I only discuss about facts, I am glad it makes you happy insulting others, keep doing this in case you like, but I will not join you at that extremely low level of humanity and personal attacks.

Airlines only should check for onward travel when you do not have any visa at all, the checks for people with visa are already done by embassy in case necessary for the type of visa.

So there is no need for the airlines to know what DTV is, and what requirements are, they only have to know it is a valid visa.

How many days staying is not a different point, staying 180 days means tax residence. And applying for a visa in a country nearby nd asking how long they need to stay there before they can return to Thailand because they live there also is a clear sing they stay there over 180 days.

When I look at how difficult it is for you to understand this very simple basics, I think playing chess for you is not an option, not even with a pigeon.

Why is it you want to insult others, does that make you feel better?

@Nick ******

Don't worry about me, I don't need anything, there is no need to agree, but when you resort to personal attacks like you do that tells me enough, only loosers do so.

Very recently there was even a post asking how many days everybody did stay on DTV and almost everyone stayed over 180 days, a very clear sign how DTV is used, but I am a strange man when I say so....

@Nick ******

Just count the posts asking what to do after staying 180 days in Thailand, extend or do borderrun, I almost never see the option of spending the rest of the year somewhere else. And also I see a very clear majority applying in SE Asia and asking how many days they should calculate before RETURNING to Thailand, which is a clear sign they are already here. Most of them don"t even realize they are already tax resident, because they think that on visa exempt or ED visa you are not tax resident. But oviously you only look at questions about tax residency and not at all posts here. I don't need new glasses, I can perfectly see ALL postings, but your glasses are a bit limited I think. If you want to replace them you have to decide for yourself, sometimes it is pleasant ypu don't see everything.

@Nick ******

then just look at the questions asked here, most of them indicate they lived before in Thailand and stay over 180 days, but obviously you missed all those. The only thing is people posting here might be not representative for the complete group, but that really is speculation. My opinion is based on what is posted here.

@Nick ******

I already said we don't have complete figures, but just count the number of people that apply in SE Asean countries and not in their home country. Those visa tourists most likely already live in Thailand and will already be tax resident. Compare this to the people who apply in their home country and you see a minority, from which a part only stays just a few weeks in their home country before going BACK to Thailand as they say themselves. Everything just is a sign that the majority of DTV holders are (far) over 180 days a year in Thailand, and did the same before DTV, just without or with another visa. And yes, peoples posts give a lot of information.

Anonieme deelnemer 101 It is not sure now that you will get 180 days when you enter on the last day of the 5 years. It is far away, and even with current rules not sure you get a date after visa or passport expiry date.
