@Guillermo ********

you can disagree all you want. But it won’t change a thing. And I don’t need to go to immigration to prove you wrong lol. It’s no secret you are wrong.

We agree it’s a tourist visa. That also allows 5 years of residency…. Not exactly ‘tourism’ at that point is it?

It has NOTHING at all to do with wanting to learn Thai. Language students are not eligible. Dont be ridiculous.

‘You would get a bank account’. This is basically an IQ test for DTV holders. You cannot walk into a bank and get an account with your visa. People with problem solving ability sort this out quickly, others never will.

@Pete ******

agreed

@Guillermo ********

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.
