so you work from your home or anywhere IN Thailand, and get paid money to your bank account IN Thailand,but you cannot work in Thailand. Is that correct

@Ian ********

there are several. The best, by a wide margin is the Long Term residency visa for ‘wealthy pensioners’. Exceptional value and tax free status. But need to demonstrate $80k USD passive income. Insurance OR $100k in the bank is required.

O-X retirement visa for 5-10 years also excellent but require funds in Thailand. Check if you qualify.

Non-immigrant O-A can be applied from within Thailand and doesn’t require insurance.

non-immigrant O can be applied for from home country. And required proof of insurance.

Lots of knowledgeable people here to help out with more specifics as needed

Of course you pay the visa fee twice. You get two visas.

@Lee-Ann ******

you sure can. Believe me, it’s not confusing at all for most

@Ian ********

yes, but depends on which kind of retirement visa

@Anna ********

'no, you can't work in Thailand.... but you can work in thailand....' thanks for clarity

@Anna ********

this first sentence is a bit of a disaster lol

you cannot apply for the DTV from inside thailand. All applications are online now, but must be in the country you apply from

@Lee-Ann ******

you sure can. In fact is what the DTV is for. You just cannot work for a thailand employer on DTV

Destination Thailand Visa. Seems like a very good solution for your plan. Chok dee!!!
