I understand and read English fine! The poster is Retiring… he does not meet ANY of the criteria

@Tullio ******

he is retiring! How is he going to qualify for a DTV??? Not a Remote worker, not a freelancer, not a Digital Nomad… 🧐🧐🧐🧐

@Alan *****

yes that is the understanding I have as well, it is all about the Digital Economy and not physically working in a Remote Location.

That said, someone will test the water in the coming months and find an Immigration Offical who may interpret the definitions in a unique way.

@Lee-Ann ******

you will find there is NOTHING Technical when it comes to Thai Immigration Officials, best of luck.

@Lee-Ann ******

again, YOU are reading into what you want it to be so you qualify, it is definitely geared to DIGITAL Tourists…

People who work via electronic means ( REMOTE - from their office ) not in a geographical remote area where their work is based.

@Lee-Ann ******

that is not the context of the Visa unfortunately… hence you find the answer in the Visa type Digital Tourist Visa… that said, if you were there on said Visa, you would have to clock out before 180 days.

Not sure HOW Hubby will meet the Criteria, FiFo worker I am thinking he is involved in the Mining Industry and that in itself does not post as a Digital Nomad, the DTV ( Digital Tourist Visa ) requirements are a Remote worker (work for a company in another country by electronic connected means, digital nomad- work online, freelancer… could be anything… can only stay up to 180 days… knowing all those basics… hard to see how either of you would qualify…

@Gary *****

agreed sir.

@Gary *****

well from sources who live there, the ex-govt finance minister has family interests there and a Casino hub is in the works with upgrades to the international airport which I saw in progress and casino to be targeted towards Chinese and other high roller gamblers
