German potatoe on the hunt for information regarding tax situation. 🤞

Hey everybody. I applied for the DTV from Germany and didn’t hear anything back for about 10 days. Then the embassy asked for a picture taken by a photographer and copy (not picture) of the passport. When I submitted these everything went smoothly and quick and my DTV got approved. 💜

Now I’m asking myself - regarding taxes. Anybody from Germany with knowledge in the field?

I get the point that your tax resident if you stay more than 180 days but I’m looking for consultant or lawyer from Germany who can give advice AND people who’ve been through the process and can give information about their experience.

Thank you folks and happy DTV-ing. ☀️

Just in case it’s useful I re entered BKK yesterday @DM Airport yesterday, very smooth entry. No questions and just a quick check of my DTV via my phone.

This was second time re entering and worth noting that others in the queue on visa exempt were all being asked how long in Thailand/when are you leaving etc?

This may seem like a stupid question, but what is the advantage of the DTV over simply playing the visa extension and border bounce game. It gets one to 180 days before needing to fly out and back again. Is this a new and expensive replacement for that process? I honestly don’t know because I’ve lived in Thailand for the past 5 years on a Non-Immigrant B visa.

I recently got the DTV, and now wish to buy a brand new scooter. What documents do I need for license, insurance etc.. thank you

Was just wondering could I apply for a DTV if I want to start teaching English online to students outside of Thailand? Am about to begin a TEFL course soon and was also wondering how I could show proof of employment if that’s needed? Will be applying through London Embassy

I got my DTV in Hanoi this month.

Lessons

1) if you have a suffix, add it after your last name

2) absolutely NO redacted information on your bank statements, they won’t accept ANY documents with redacted/blacked-out information

3) check your application status regularly because you might have to resubmit documents

Can I get a car registered in my name on a DTV?

Hey all, is there a time frame you have to enter Thailand once your DTV has been initially been approved?

Didn’t get an exit stamp in your passport?

This just happened to me and I didn’t see anyone addressing it so I figured I would.

I went through the digital immigration line at BKK and because of that I didn’t get an exit stamp.

I spoke with an immigration officer and they confirmed it’s all good.

I know it seems obvious but today is my 90th day in the country so I didn’t do a 90 day report and since I plan to enter and exit by motorbike at land borders in the future I just wanted to double check.

Has anyone had to transfer their DTV to a new passport? Any issues?
