I will but I also want to hear from someone who's been there not just a lawyer who knows theory
Do freelancers on a DTV visa need to pay tax in Thailand?
Alain
***********
 thank you and sorry for digressing from the original post but it may be of interest to many of us.  Would it be more interesting to become a Thai tax resident,  if you hold stocks or crypto and want to avoid a capital gains tax?
Do freelancers on a DTV visa need to pay tax in Thailand?
Alain
***********
So if you’re in Thailand over 180 days/year but your income is exclusively paid on a EU bank account. That amount is probably not taxable in Thailand
What about the original EU country if you are no longer a tax resident there ? Assuming there’s a treaty to avoid double taxation
Why do agents charge more than 50,000 baht for DTV applications when the official visa cost is much lower?
Alain
***********
They charge so much for a very simple reason : there are suckers out there falling for their scammy “advice”.

DTV is an unmitigated disaster for those agencies who see the regular customers dwindle as they move to that DIY cheap visa and extensions.
 Far too many agencies are chasing a dwindling number of potential customers. Time for a huge cleanup.
What SIM card can you use with a DTV Visa in Thailand?
Alain
***********
With a DTV you can only use a BLUE SIM card. If you have a red or a green one, and they see it at immigration you risk immediate derotation.
Is the quote of 260,000 baht for DTV visa processing reasonable?
