Everyone saying they will tighten it up it's too easy are not considering maybe they want to make it easy?

More people living in and spending money in Thailand helps Thailand.

Maybe I'm being very optimistic but I think there is a plan to get as many people as possible.

Re taxes , it may happen, they do struggle to tax Thai's so the taxing of foreigners will be a long long road as most do not even have a tax ID.

Enjoy it for what it is until it could change. Then make plans if you need to

@Da ***

really? So you are now the official spokesperson for the DTV?

You know as much as the rest of us and you are merely speculating

@Andi **********

exactly and I don't know what rights the non O gives you apart from the right to stay for a year.

I'm on retirement extension but seriously looking at the DTV as it just offers so much more flexibility

Not one bit. Realise the Thai tax department struggle to tax their own citizens

20 years here no tax I'd and don't think I will ever see one

No police checks are required for this visa as far as I know

Anonymous participant people are currently leaving and coming back and getting stamped in for another 180 days so that is an option

There is public holidays this week Thursday and Friday for the water festival

@Urs *******

so what? They are still spending money in Thailand

@Jim **********

5 year multiple entry tourist visa with which you can stay literally every day for 5 years with only 1 border run a year

The multiple entry part is worth it on its own. It's 4k per year for us non O visa holders

@Jim **********

I don't see why not, with over 750,000 empty condos in Bangkok there is many more people required here.

They want people here and this visa is getting the feet on the ground and people spending money in Thailand
