@Wim ******

which consulate?

@Andi **********

you become Thai tax resident at 180 days. Whether or not you become liable to pay tax is up to you, your income streams and the tax agreement of your home nation

@Rhys *****

lol. That’s not how it works 😂

@Peter ********

You will have no problems. Enjoy the land of smiles

No issues

Get DTV. Easiest visa ever in Thailand

@Tim *********

he simply cannot grasp the economics or value of time. And obviously has zero experience or knowledge about agencies. Raving on like a lunatic about how 'easy peasy' it is to send over funds from home nation, invest at 0.5%, stand in line every year at the bank to gather documents, then do the same for immigration every year.... telling guys doing it the easy way to 'relax and enjoy' lol. Dude has absolutely no clue. As the weird DJT comments demonstrate

ok - you are assuming marriage visa amount- why? Let's use a real life example - i currently make 7.75% on my 800k equivalent by banking in Mexico. (but feel free to choose 5% - that you can get pretty much anywhere now) It's in govt backed term investments, fully guaranteed. Govt tax withholding 10% so net gain is 6.975%. So annual gain is 55,800 baht equivalent. Annual renewal costs using agency are 14k baht. Now do you understand 😂😂😂

Sadly yes, back to square one and start over
