EDIT (apologies i first checked uk and presumed all exempt countries were same)

UK doesn't.....Italy does.

Italy specifically.

i've checked now on the system. So this means airline will likely deny you . So applications for visa will also need ticket or other explanation.

Warning

Visitors who are visa exempt but do not hold return/onward tickets could be refused entry.

@Chris ******

thanks. I wonder how long it will take to get the same request.

@Matthew ********

and of course the Thai's made it really vague and difficult to negotiate. The basic issue is the definition of "remittance" and remiting funds here. Which if you use a credit card doesn't happen but again nobody has yet answered that one.

@Matthew ********

you're lucky military pensions are exempt from tax in Thai law. Other pensions are not. For the USA people they need the TIN on the forms. Most other countries have the equivalent of a TIN but its not that simple. Unfortunately this American lead nonsense isn't going away it seems.

@Henry *******

understood.

@Chris ******

are you American. didn't think any other nationality did any additional forms.

@Matthew ********

theres only one from my experience doing accounts last week with a few of us there. The American did a w2 which is a USA form. Its mentioned in loads of movies so that i know.

@Chris ******

what forms?

@Pete ******

yeah i googled it.

@Mark *******

no. you're wrong a lot it seems.
