    How to qualify as a Digital Nomad requires a suitable submission of "Certificate of employment or any professional portfolio of your work (interviewer asks) so if they have a a portfolio of clients and work they can show this (General Ninnad) yes professional ones of course" - He stated that it is not necessarily to have contracts to support the portfolio "but it would help" -

     

    It will be interesting to see how Digital Nomads are actually judged in order to qualify.

    I am still trying to figure this out for myself.  I would prefer to not give them any financial/tax details of my business but so far I can't see a way around it for my particular situation.

    It's too bad he felt the need to pretend that people would be taking vacations after the 180 days instead of clearly asking if border bounces would be allowed or ask what kinds of courses would qualify for the visa.  Would a one week cooking course work?  It does clarify a lot, but of course each embassy will assert their own requirements.  

    I would have have liked to see more questions about that stuff as well.  Still better info than anything else currently out there so the pieces of the puzzle are slowly falling into place.

    Laos and Cambodia offer evisas. NO FULL Page visa only a entry/exit stamp

    so ........

     

    When I went through the land border using one of the border run van services they put that huge sticker in our passports that takes up a whole page.  Not sure about eVisa but when I got the visa at the airport on arrival in PP several years ago they also put that huge sticker in my passport.

    I guess if your income isn't taxed in your home-country or no dual-tax treaty with Thailand, it could be a significant problem.  Otherwise, just means filling out a tax form here, to stay fully compliant.

    It's just another thing to deal with on top of all the other BS paperwork and hoops Thailand is making us jump through.  That is the part I don't like. I am supposed to be retired and enjoying life.  Not filling out paperwork and tax forms.  Even if I pay someone else to do that for me it's still just another thing I have to deal with one way or another.  Individually, these things are not that big a deal, but collectively it is becoming a PiTA.

  5. Keep in mind that larger ovens really heat up a place, so that's going to be a hit to the aircon bill.  A small countertop oven is best.  I would want to get a dedicated airfryer before I get an oven.  I don't think a combined oven/airfryer is as good.  They are larger as well so I don't think you save much on counter space instead of two separate appliances.

    There were success reports on FB, and also here on AN guy posted a picture of DTV visa (sticker) issued in Cambodia 🙂

    I would not want to get that just because it takes up a whole page in the passport.  Even though I have the extended page passport it's almost all filled up, even with covid where I didn't go anywhere for 2 years.  Part of the reason is those stupid Cambodia visa stickers that take up a whole page each time you go there.  If you were to get this as well that would be two full pages used up.

    The MFA guy interviewed above said there would be NO documentation requirements for DTV holders when re-entering Thailand ... just present the visa only. No requalification process.

     

    However, just the opposite if the same DTV holder instead wants to do the single in-country 180-day extension allowed at Thai Immigration per each new arrival in country. At Immigration for that extension, the MFA guy indicated proof of continuing eligibility WOULD be required.

     

    It's not that big a deal to take a short trip to a neighbouring country once every 6 months, so a lot of people would probably just do that.
