The majority of DTVers aren't making that much and it would disqualify most from qualifying for this visa.

300,000 Baht a month is an average salary in the west, but a lot of money for Thailand.

Assuming there's no scamdemic similar to Covid between now and 2030, you can continue to exit the country every 90 days without a reporting requirement.

@Elías *******
Exactly, that figure would disqualify the majority of applicants.

Cool story and probably made up. Someone making in excess of 300,000 Baht a month doesn't need a DTV. They can get a MUCH better visa.

No, they removed the 80K income requirement. It was in the news.

Anonymous participant I think it's allowed; I don't think renting out your own property comes under the definition of "work" but I'm not a lawyer.

300,000 Baht a month? If that were the income requirement, absolutely no one would qualify for the DTV and it would be a terrible deal as well.

Even the LTR has scrapped its minimum income requirements and that is generally a much better visa to have than the DTV (if you qualify).

Yes. Even now, most land borders require a TM6 to be filled out on paper. If it becomes mandatory to do one online on May 1, then unfortunately, even air arrivals will be affected. In fact, I suspect like Cambodia, they'll implement the online TM6 requirement for air arrivals first then for land ones later.

They won't ask you about 90 day reporting at airports or land border crossings, but they will put a 90 day reporting slip reminder into your passport.

It doesn't matter to immigration at the border whether you've done it or not, as they don't handle these matters.

A different story in China - or Beijing at least. Anyone who doesn't register their accommodation with the authorities (similar to the TM30) may get denied entry on their next re-entry and is ineligible for the 7 day visa waiver for transit passengers traveling via China, en-route to 3rd countries.
