180 days, the length of DTV stay does not even make you tax resident. As far as I know immigration also does not ask to show Thai tax payment records for other long term visa, simply because there is no relation between visa and tax.

@Andi **********

I think you are right, 180 days is a reasonable lengte of stay for a digital nomad, 30 days is too short.

@Andi **********

the difference is that the people living 50 year in a country take the holiday outside the country voluntary, they can stay 50 years if they want. The DTV holder is forced to leave the country after 360 days.

@Andi **********

not childish and not downgrading. It is quite obvious the DTV is not meant to stay for 5 years in the country. When that really was the intention, they would have made stays longer than 180 days, for example 1 year, and give the possibility to extend in the country with a year as often as you want. That you currently can almost stay 5 years in a row, does not change that fact.

@Matthew ******

income is not necessary salary, it can also be other income, as long as it is a steady income.

@Matt ******

I still don't understand which new visa you are talking about, I don't know any visa on arrival of 60 days.

@Matthew ******

There are no income requirements for DTV, so having a regular salary from remote job together with pension money should not be any problem.

@Matt ******

"extended visa on arrivals from 60 days back to 30"?

What are you talking about? What are extended visa on arrivals?

What has gone back form 60 to 30?

Why should DTV not be around in 6 months?

@Andy ***********

not having to pay taxes is not exactly the same as not having to submit a tax return. I agree with you the second part of what

@Adrià *******

said is far too generic, but the first part is describing the general rules without mentioning DTA which has impact. So in my opinion it is not BS, but just incomplete. To be complete is almost impossible because every DTA is different.

@Steve *******

Do you really think Thai tax office believe a farang lives from 9000 baht a month? Even the average Thai uses more. There is a reason they want non-o retirement have income of 800K a year. So when someone claims to spend less than half of this, it looks suspicious.
