My understanding is at no stage should you be paying Thai tax on wages when using the DTV visa
@Marb *******
. Please note I am not an expert and only submitted one application for this myself. I also have many questions only need answering.

I don’t plan on becoming a tax resident Marb. I will be doing a border run to Cambodia after 6 months 180 days. I believe this eliminate the requirement for a Thai bank balance and to show proof of income again.

Let me see if I can send a copy of the PDF here Simone. If not, I’ll grab an email address from you and happily send you a copy of it.
Richard ******
Yes it can
@T**
, I am doing the same as a registered business owner in Australia. I prepared a letter stating that my role within the company was eligible for remote work.

I had 500,000 Baht in the account a matter of hours when I sent my application in. This was in Australia back in December. It was accepted following a request for some additional documents not related to the bank balance.
Richard ******
The 500k does not have to be in your account for any particular time period.

@Elías *******
the DTV Visa can be a same day out of Thailand, visa 180 day renewal and re entry into Thailand.
Richard ******
Does it have to be an overnight stay
@Ted ******
I have been told you can bus it (from Pattaya) to Cambodia early AM, cross to get visa renewed and back to Pattaya in the bus that afternoon.
Richard ******
The DTV Visa is activated upon acceptance by the consulate you apply through.  Given the period of time for processing being on average 6 to 8 days I would be doing the application about 2-3 weeks prior to your requirement for it as to not waste a month or two of the Visa period.

I would recommend a good portfolio of your client work and regular monthly paid invoices to show your on going wages.
