Partecipante anonimo This is the main reason why Thailand is offering a 5-year visa for just 10,000 THB per year! If you fill out all the paperwork to avoid double taxation, probably nobody will pay double tax. However, I believe the plan is to fine people for not filling out the paperwork to avoid double taxation... So, I guess they will ask for a fine and ask you to pay tax again! They're starting with DTV and then moving on to other long-term visas.

so, try it, and let us know if the officer will let you go in... I'd suggest to don't do it, as I would suggest to don't stay more than 180 days, otherwise soon or late someone will try to make you pay taxes on the amount you bring into the Country...

@Naomi *****

not correct! You have 3 months to get inside the country after visa has been approved! Then you are free to leave and come back when you want until the dtv is valid!

@Robert ********

you're right! Usually, but not always.. I advise to get a travel insurance for 1 year and renew it each here, for 500 euros you are covered for 10k euro.... same insurance with some broker advised would be 1k!
