Have you never been to Thailand before? Unless you're going to a country that doesn't allow foreigners to enter by land (Myanmar is one of the few) then of course you can enter by land through any international border crossing.

@Jeff *****

If that was the case, maybe all foreigners should be forced to hit the road including you right? You can't have it both ways.

These posts are as boring as those fools arguing they "haven't heard anything" about other visas allowing remote work, when in actuality, ALL visas now allow remote work.

No immigration officer is going to look at an "employment prohibited" DTV and say "right you can work online on this one" while an "employment prohibited" retirement visa holder is told "you can't work online on this".

I think Thai immigration / the labor department have ended the ambiguity that existed previously and have decided to allow remote work as long as it doesn't impinge on the Thai labor force.

@Christopher ********

Why? What's the difference between a soft and a "hard" DTV? AFAIK, there's only one DTV, issued under different categories.

@Sweetway *****

I am in agreement with you, I don't think much will come of this tax nonsense. It's mostly elderly expats that are panicking, some (of all ages) have even left Thailand due to this, when so far, it's all talk.

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

That can be tested via way of a company registar, which shows the legitimacy more accurately. Tax returns aren't connected with your employment anyway.

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

OK. So that means you get a 1 year stamp on each entry and the visa is valid for 5 years right? At least, that's the way I understand it works.

Thus a little more attractive than the DTV but not sure if I would spend 650K on it. Now if the 20 year one only cost that much, I'd say it would be worth it as you receive other perks too.

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

I did. I'm wondering, do you get a 5 year stamp on that, or only 1 year per entry?

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

No tax returns.

Well, it's just before Christmas so the holiday crowd will be traveling.
