ikr. Where i can own land, own a business, zero tax on income from outside the country, flat 10% tax on net income from in country, even from your business if you own one. No cash on deposit for residency, not a lot of hoops to jump through to prove income. Simple bank statement, pension or SS. Beef is plentiful and inexpensive And the country is clean and uncrowded. A lot like rural US in the 1950s and 1960s

Not where intend to go. And there is a very large area on Mindanao Phillipines that are extremely dangerous and listed as the "red zone"

@Chris ******

excellent thats what Im trying to detetmine. And I can do that. Can it be in a brokerage (stock) account or must it be strictly checking or savings account at a bank?

@Greg **********

explain where I am completely wrong? I didnt post anything different than that. Except number 4 above and is the point of my post

@Bob *********

but if you can only apply for DTV outside Thailand how do you get the funds in the bank for 3 months in order to qualify? And I thought DTV only needed proof of income not the large deposit , and does it have to stay on deposit the entire time youre there?
