@Na ******

Did you apply in the same embassy where others successfully obtained their DTV earlier with the same school and the same document?

So, did you expect to name a random school and get the DTV?

@Greg *******

People who are liable for taxes (or tax credits) must apply for a TIN and file tax returns. What portion you don't understand, you English, professor? It has nothing to do with immigration or visas. Filing a tax return is voluntary as of now. They may implement more stringent rules later, depending on their assessment of how many people are voluntarily complying.

@Greg *******

tax on remitted income is already in the book and the loop hole was eliminated. There is nothing more to implement. Anybody claiming otherwise is simply a tax cheat looking for a loophole not to pay taxes.

As per existing law, if you don't declare your assessable income by next year, March, you will be a tax cheat. A double taxation treaty is not a loophole for not paying taxes.

@Elías *******

A retirement visa is not applicable here because the OP is under 50-years old. People love to post what they know (possibly to show off), not the answer the poster is seeking.

Most places I shop, like , Big C, mall restaurants, Home pro, etc., do take CC, and I can pay cash by withdrawing from the ATM, and for the last time I don't pay ATM fees and get my ATM fees reimbursed. Scanning the amount instead of paying small amounts using cash does not give me any advantage.

@Kieran ******

How much more? 100-200 baht I don't care.

I get all my ATM fees reimbursed. I don't like to live my life based on and watch out for the exchange rate. When I need to spend I spend using my cc mostly and cash occasionally. I do have two Thai bank accounts. I don't find them very useful.

@Julien ***

What is not true? That I am using CC and US ATM cards for my maintenance in Thailand? I use ATM only to keep some hard cash. Otherwise, I almost survive on CC only.
