You're totally wrong. The visa was designed to get people into the country spending money to give the economy a boost. A few deluded people think the 180 days ties in with the "tax residency" which it doesn't. Most people getting DTVs will be spending a lot more than 180 days in the country each year. I'm on non-O which is a one year stamp - you might as well say that has everything to do with tax! 😆. I've been in Thailand for 23 years, and probably 16 of those as a "tax resident" but I don't pay a single baht in income tax because I'm a tax resident also of Australia, and Australia gets sole claim on my taxation. That hasn't changed, and won't change. Nothing to do with visas, everything to do with "assessable income"

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

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
