By mail? Really? I do my 90 day report online! Easy.

@Martino ******

Yes, if you stay for more than 180 days in a calendar year.

@Martino ******

Income tax in Thailand for a average income of any European country is 35%. A lot more than in most countries.

@Paul ******

Quite a few DTV users are retired or married to Thais? How do you know? Not even the first 180 days have passed since the introduction of the DTV.

@Paul ******

I doubt that you get a new DTV after your 5 years are over. By the way, I live in Thailand for 8 years on a O retirement visa and dealing with the immigration was never a problem. Took me 40 minutes most time to renew it.

@Ray ****

Let me guess: Only a fraction of those who apply for a DTV have a reasonable income and want to work as nomads in Thailand. The rest are young people who see the DTV more as a visa to live in a cheap country for as long as possible.

And those who are financially well off will probably not live in a condo in Bangkok.

That's just a guess, I could be wrong!

Believe me, the license plate stays normally on the car for ever, no matter what province you live in. But if you wish to have a license plate from the province you live in, of course you can apply for a new one at your DLT. Takes approx. 2 weeks and of course it has a price.

@Jared ********

Normally, when you buy a used car, the white license plate of the previous owner remains on the car.

I have bought a used car in Bangkok, but I live in another province. I don't care where th license plate is from.

Is there a single reason to apply for a new white license plate in the province where you live?

@Peter *******

No!

@Christie ******

Correct but once the old passport is punched through it is invalid. Why not transfer all visas to the new one before?, It's so easy, it took me just 5 minutes at the immigration.
