What is the success rate of applying for a DTV outside my home country without a Thai bank statement?

Chris ***********

yes, but you shouldn't.

Dtv is a tourist visa.

If you already have a thai bank account that shows you have either had a non immigrant visas before, or a work permit

Part of the dtv requirements is the money you make must come from outside of thailand.

Having a thai bank account for the application makes things blury and more difficult.

Do you need to request a visa exempt stamp if you hold a DTV but want to enter Thailand for tourism?

Chris ***********

It's a multiple entry visa valid for 5 years

You can come and go daily

It just resets the 180 day stay each time you enter

Will I need to pay double tax in both the UK and Thailand under a DTV Visa?

Chris ***********

🤣🤣🤣

The dtv prevents you from working and earning money in thailand. The dtv visa is either soft power or working remotely with income from outside of Thailand

If you're going to comment I would suggest you look into the visa requirements and limitations first
