Are border runs still possible?
Answer summary
The discussion around border runs for expats in Thailand involves various comments related to tax obligations, residency status, and the impact of certain financial services like Wise on tax reporting. It's noted that staying in Thailand for more than 180 days can lead to tax residency, necessitating the filing of tax returns, especially for income being remitted to Thailand. There are rumors of strict regulation changes, and many expats express concerns about how these will affect their financial dealings and border activities. Overall, border runs may still be a viable option, but expats should be aware of evolving tax laws and reporting requirements.
