What rock are you under? I already know personally five people have switched from non-O to DTV. You obviously have no idea how easy it is to register a business name and give yourself a work contract! Keep up, the DTV is the new retirement visa.

@Carsten ***********

Must be a different DTV you're talking about. The one I'm talking about is 10,000 for FIVE years, extensions are 1900 baht. A lot of people still travel, but sure if someone wants to stagnate in Thailand for the rest of their life I guess the clunky old non-O is the way to go! 😂😂

Get a DTV - it's the new "Super Visa", everyone's getting them now

It depends on the embassy processing the application what criteria they are applying

@Mo *****

Interesting for ALL visa holders

@Łukasz ********

Totally correct. The DTA applies irrespective of visa status

@Toby ************

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"

@Danni *********

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
