all wrong. Whether is was designed to stay for 5 years or not is irrelevant. You CAN stay for five years on DTV.

For Americans, it sucks because you are all tax prisoners. But the rest of us are not.

The tax treaty between Thailand and the posters nation will determine much of the tax liability. And as DTV is not a working visa for Thailand, there is no work related income

Obviously you WILL remit money to Thailand as you will live here. Every penny you turn over to a Thai landlord, restaurant, bar etc is fully traceable. That… is what remittance is

good boy

@John ******

very true. You will never know. It’s your choice though. And 4 hours per week is minimally invasive.

Personally, I enjoy freedom and travel. So trading my valuable time in the endless pursuit of monetary gain, struck me as pointless.

@John ******

all you would miss out on is fun and freedom

I’m not trying to sell 🇺🇸 on anybody but let’s face facts, Hawaii, California, Nevada + Vegas, Arizona, Utah, Oregon Coast, Florida, Upstate New York… are all wildly better living than anything Canada has to offer.

I hate the politics as much as anyone. But not gonna lower my quality of life just to make a useless point. 4 years and done. Meanwhile living it up in fun places, great weather, happy people, better money and less tax, and tax deductible mortgages. Sadly America is kicking our asses
