following. I will need that certificate and have received very confusing information. Some sources say that in Bangkok you only get the certificate after the first 90 day report, not earlier.

Some landlord told me no problem, but he has to go with me to immigration...

What is your information?

Anonymous participant what embassy?

It seems to be a common theme with embassies/consulates in general these days, not specific to Thailand.

We have our flight to BKK already booked. I consider staying on the tourist visa first and then going to a nearby embassy for the DTV. Which one are you planning to go to?

Sounds like a smart choice. This e-visa has a scammy feel to it. My suspicion is that the consulates get to pocket the same amount of the fee no matter if they grant the visa or reject your application. Rejecting is less work for the same money, so the employees are tempted to reject.

@Wannikea ********

yes it kinda is, unlike in the original game, the holes and spaghetti aren't even clearly defined. 😅

@Max ****

this entire group is set to "public", which is a pretty bad idea IMO, so anyone who decides to spy on you can see what you post. I totally understand the poster.

@Roberto ******

what consulate did you call? The Thai consulate in Frankfurt does not answer calls or emails. And this has been the same with Brasil. The Frankfurt Consulate of Mexico answers the phone 1x per week for 1 hour. You have to ask in person to know when that is.

@Roberto ******

sure, like any consulate answers the phone these days. 😅

@Markus *******

I would say it depends on the terms in the DTA.

In the case of Germany, if the center of vital interests is still in Germany, the tax stays in Germany and this change in Thailand means nothing.

It used to be favorable to have a tax residency in Thailand, with the current remmitance-only taxing it's so-so. If they follow through with their plan of taxing people on all their worldwide income. Many folks won't spend as much time in Thailand any more...

@Michael *******

What is the advantage of establishing a tax residency in Paraguay? If you stay >183 days in Thailand and Paraguay does not have a DTA with Thailand, I see no use in that.
