There is no International rule, each country could be different so stop spreading the misinformation. Under 20k USD doesn't have to be declared.

@Robert ******

I understand your analogy, but immigration law is not like choosing beer brands.

Yes, purpose matters under Thai visa law. Retirement, volunteer, education and others each have their own rules.

But the DTV is structured differently from traditional Non-Immigrant visas.

The official description of DTV includes Thai soft power activities and working remotely. Remote work is not something people are adding later. It is written into the framework of the visa.

The restriction is clear:

• No Thai work permit

• No employment with Thai companies

• No freelance work for Thai clients

If someone performs remote work for foreign clients and is not working for Thai entities, that fits within the remote work concept of DTV.

That is not mixing and matching. It is following the published conditions.

If someone works for Thai clients, that is clearly not allowed...

Anonymous participant not sure why but FB screws it up, tried adding it couple of times :( try to maybe Google search for the file name.

Also thought it wasn't allowed but looks like it is:

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes the DTV as covering foreigners on a tourist stay who are working remotely, and it includes both:

Workcation (digital nomads / remote workers)

Thai Soft Power activities (e.g., Muay Thai, cooking, sports, etc.)

So Soft Power and remote work are within the same DTV framework, not mutually exclusive categories."

@Khun *****

yes I deleted my comment as after further looking into it, it actually does look like you're allowed to have a remote job.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes the DTV as covering foreigners on a tourist stay who are working remotely, and it includes both:

Workcation (digital nomads / remote workers)

Thai Soft Power activities (e.g., Muay Thai, cooking, sports, etc.)

Everything happens for a reason. I would look at this as a miracle stopping you from making a mistake :P

DTV_Begpacker I have been in the IT sector probably before you were even born and am well aware of how beneficial it is. But only a complete moron wouldn't see the dangers that come with CBDCs/Digital Banking transactions.

Exception being privacy coins like monero, everything else is big brother's wet dream and part of the agenda 2030. You will own nothing, eat crickets and be happy about it 😘

Sure, you probably took all your booster shots and can't wait for more... Just a matter of time before they'll tell you what you can eat and how much you can travel...

Bank accounts are one thing and can be easily accessed by the government. Atm withdrawals and Credit Cards can also be tracked. Money exchanged is also tracked. Will they enforce the taxation, sooner or later? Yes, NWO wants to make people's life miserable everywhere.
