No. The purpose of this new proposed law is to tax worldwide incomes. Regardless if the funds are remitted (repatriated) into Thailand or not. It’s a new development.

Congratulations 🍾 . Thai tax authorities are rubbing their hands :

Yes. Some embassies are much stricter than others. I’ve heard the one in Laos is pretty easy and helpful .

For those who don’t , thai authorities even made it possible for these people to have a guarantor who can back them up: speaks volumes on how badly they want you to get this new 5 years visa !!

@Donald *****

Just search “DTV visa Thailand” in the search bar on this group ☝🏼. Tons of successful examples.

@Tony *******

Just show proof of booking of 1 week of Muay Thai training or proof of one dental appointment: you get 5 years of multiple entry visa for 10,000 THB. You just have to be older than 20 years old and show funds of 500,000 THB or equivalent in currency in your bank account (doesn’t have to be in a Thai bank). Everyone can do that . Just search “DTV visa Thailand” in the search bar on this group ☝🏼.

Stop the constant headache with O visa extensions : just get a DTV visa !! So much easier !!! And no need for an “agent” !!!

Said MFA (ministry of Foreign affairs). On many different cases, Immigration, which belongs to Royal Thai police and which decides of your entry - or not - , says different than MFA..

Correct. You have to pay for it. Be prepared to pay various and unexpected “fees”…
