What should I know about doing a border run to Malaysia for visa purposes in Thailand?

Elías ********

Participante anónimo 845 It is nationality dependent I guess. For me is free. I thought it was free for all.

Why was my visa application rejected due to discrepancies in my name on the passport?

Elías ********

Participante anónimo 220 Machine Readable Zone of the passport, where it says something like COUNTRY>>>FAMILY NAME>>>NAME>>> etc. Many times the non MRZ includes special characters such as Á, Ñ, etc., but for the visa application, we must use only the MRZ, which uses only "basic" latin letters (ie English language letters).

Can DTV holders pay taxes and obtain a TIN in Thailand?

Elías ********

Participante anónimo 143 It depends on each person situation. For many DTVers, staying more than 180 days on a calendar year would be natural, while for many others, it's just not going to happen.

Why was my visa application rejected due to discrepancies in my name on the passport?

Elías ********

Participante anónimo 908 Yo hice así, puse mi segundo nombre como middle, y me la aprobaron. En teoría hay que guiarse por la zona de lectura mecánica (MRZ) del pasaporte, ahí ponen > para indicar los espacios. Si su tu nombre sale con espacio, son dos, si no, es uno. En el ejemplo de abajo viene junto.

By "giving tax advise" you mean those saying we need to pay, or those saying we don't need to pay? 🤪

Do I have to pay tax in Thailand on foreign income if I stay over 180 days with a DTV visa?

Elías ********

The first question is rather, how would you open a bank account while on a DTV?

Did the Thai embassy verify documents directly with employers for remote work DTV applications?

Elías ********

I don't know whether my employer was contacted or not, but, why would you care if they're contacted? Isn't that the reason why they write their phone number and email address on the first place? To get contacted if needed?
