Congrats. Some details might help others too 🤔

Ohh so sad having a common baby 😢

Wow can’t believe they accepted other people’s account for the money! That’s a new one! Congrats

Maybe those clearly living a tax free life as digital nomads will be swept up in the Thai tax net as most want to stay more than 180 days a financial year. Different for soft power DTV holders if not making money here or OS plus taxed outside Thailand.

It’s easy to compare what you actually get into the Thai bank. Western Union gives a full discount on your first transfer but after that Wise was better. However, for amounts under $2000 AUD I use XE Rates as it’s always a few hundred baht better than Wise.. Wise is better over $2000 though.

No loyalty. Just go with who gives the best locked in rate. Wise no longer offers me a guaranteed rate as I set up too many transfers chasing the best rate for their liking. Been like that for over a year too. I do still use Wise occasionally as they do update their rates constantly and XE Rates is much slower to update

@Steve *******

those airfares to Oz still expensive though!

@John *******

can be smokey here in Hua Hin too!

You are in this group a simple search would have told you. You obviously didn’t do any research about the DTV. A prime prospect for the “agents” to fleece.

Price getting a bit expensive then plus if you plan to leave and return every 180 days extra cost again. Think I’ll stick with married to a Thai spouse visa. 🤣👍🤣

Well you assume he didn’t ask, which is a big assumption when they actually created the DTV. They may very well have coordinated those details with Immigration Police.

He probably would be a better and very relevant source of information than those here assuming it’s 10,000bht. He clearly said it’s a normal extension hence 1,900 bht during that interview and now a different source collaborating it🤔. It will of course be known eventually! 🤣👍
