Anonymous participant 253 I think it's a form of stockhold syndrome and these people enjoy going through the time consuming hurdles because it makes them feel like they've achieved something. I've been in and out 3 times since I got the DTV with 0 issues.
For real though, why not do a border run and have a nice trip? I genuinely don't get your logic behind wanting to go to all this hassle to renew it within thailand for 0 benefit?
Increasing foreigner tax residents by introducing a 5 year visa with 180 days renewal coupled with the change in tax laws clearly shows a connection dumbass.
It's a bit silly I was able to open a bank acct on a 6 month muay thai visa in 2019 but it's harder to on a 5 year DTV one lol. If they want me to bring money in and pay taxes I need a thai bank account! Isn't that the whole point 😛
