Actually I'm correct. TAXATION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VISA. End of story.

@Kem ****

Your question has no validity as there is ZERO connection between ANY visa and taxation. It's that simple. This group is about the DTV, not about taxation

The visa has nothing to do with taxation. Taxation is based on untaxed money brought into Thailand. There's no connection

Get your fiancée to register online and then you can do it online every time

It will be voted on in Parliament in January as the government is proposing to include the 300 baht tourist tax as part of the online ETA application process, so I wouldn't be expecting it to be introduced until February at the earliest

It's "Gender Correction" these days! 😆👍😆

@David *******

Actually you're pretty well on the ball too, that's why I had to ask! 👍

I never said it was limited by visa, I said people would be happier to rent and buy property if they're guaranteed five years here, and probably another five, and another five and so on. Condo buildings are filling up with DTV holders in Bangkok. In my building alone I know six DTV'ers who have moved in just in the last few months. Trust me, they are pouring in, and it's great for the country

@Luit ****************

But many of those already here are on short-term visas, now the ability to stay five years with no hindrance means these people can rent condos long-term, buy cars, even buy condos. If you can't see how this is pumping money into the economy you're looking the wrong way. My landlord has five condos, four have sat empty since covid. The last three months he's filled them all, all with DTV holders. He's not the only one. My gym previously had five farang members, now there's over 30! Come on, this is the greatest visa ever, and new residents are pouring in, in their dozens!
