Unfortunately It’s clear that DTV has already been abused heavily. No surprise here: DTV replaced both the ED (Education) and Volunteer visa that has been heavily abused in the past, particularly during covid times, for folks who choose to go the “dodgy” way.

I guess DTV will then follow the path of ED and Volunteer visa : increasing scrutiny and tightening … You can thank once again the system abusers .

Double taxation is not for everybody (not every country) and every dual tax agreement is different (tax different things)…

If the question was slightly different : « is the money coming in from savings or incomes realized after 1 Jan 2024 ? » and if the answer was yes, tax liability (depending on Dual tax Agreement) would be a sure thing.

@Greg *******

Absolutely. Corruption of people comes with a price …

Signs are accumulating. I would be very surprised if DTV holders , particularly soft power ones, will be able to stay 5 years in the Kingdom border bouncing every 6 months, only with one cooking or Muay Thai class.

Whining generation need some hug again ?? 😂

Dude: if you don’t like moldy and damp , do yourself a favor and don’t come here : you won’t survive the monsoon (rainy season) !! 🌧️

You absolutely don’t meet the requirements to do an extension. Do a border bounce and get a 180 days stamp while it’s still allowed …

Sometimes I wonder how people don’t get lost half way when they’re going to Thailand. When you get cash from an ATM , the change rate you get is among the worst you can get. Much worse than the Wise rate. Fees are one thing . Change rates are another thing, much more important than fees. Everytime you pay your rent with cash : not only it’s far less convenient than Wise but also you lose money : paying with a Wise transfer would be way cheaper thanks to the much better change rate applied !!!
