@Pete ******

I'm telling you what my local tax office told me and you are quoting some expensive international tax lawyer who is looking to make money.

@Elías *******

I agree. I always thought the soft power option should be a different visa and workcation a straight forward Nomad visa

The full 90-days 😃 How did you ppl even get a DTV in the first place? :D

Becoming tax resident does not mean you have a tax liability in Thailand. If you bring untaxed earnings onshore to a Thai bank account, you have a Thai job, or you have investments in Thailand then you have a tax liability here. If none of those apply just enjoy your holiday.

As your visa is a tourist visa you can apply for long term travel insurance from your home country

Mine took 3.5 weeks in London and came through the day before my flight

Why do ppl insist on returning the same day? Madness under the current clampdownn

Once the visa is issued you never need to show the money again unless you want to stay more than 6 months and apply for an in country extension. Your visa will be valid for 5 years from date of issue with unlimited entries of 180-days

The 180-day tax residency has always been a thing but only the last years has everybody been panicking about it. Being tax resident does not mean you have a tax liability. Only if you bring untaxed money onshore, earn money in Thailand or have investments in Thailand do you require a TIN and file a tax return, otherwise just enjoy your holiday in Thailand. As a tourist you are not even allowed a bank account so stop worrying about tax liability.

I have seen two posters complaining that immigration will not transfer the visa to their new passport
