the DTV is not working in thailand its remote working there isn't a work permit involved for thailand there is a whole different visa for that.

That is also why the dtv is good for 180 days then you leave come back, you will not be considered taxable until you are here past 180 days consecutive

ok, as for me im not taxed ever unless I make income in thailand. My full retirement from the US isnt taxed here nor is it taxed in the US everyone's situation is different why I point this out. Then again I dont have an account here and I cant get one so all I have is cash.

I have to upgrade visa before I can get one. Im too young for retirement visa so every month i pull cash or use moreta pay for bills

again tax laws have changed if its not covered under DTA with thailand it is taxable. Some countries DTA are limited im just saying to look that up with your home country.

For example US to Thailand DTA only covered benifits from the federal government. Private sector retirements are not protected fully, and remote working income is taxed at certain brackets or earnings per year.

Simply saying to confirm this with your countries embassy every country is different

You have 5 years to enter thailand where as other non-o visa are limited by time DTV isnt. Where as you can use it as often or as less as you want
