Stuart Hansen no one has said agents can't be helpful in securing visa 's when dealing with immigration and non-O type visa's.

However, the OP is not asking about this, the question is around LTR visa, which is through BOI, who technically work as the agent already.

Just make sure when you make the transaction on the day, that it doesn't impact your 800k+ balance requirement.

The law doesn't require a new TM30 to be recorded when you are returning to an abode within the check-in/check-out period.

However, if you need to have a face to face with an IM for a process that includes producing a TM30, many will require an updated version.

i'd get a new accountant, that is the only change that has been made, and the cause of all the discussions around taxation in the last 18 months. If you have money that would be assesable if you bring it into Thailand in the year it was gained, it will remain assesable if you delay bringing it until following tax year. (It doesn't become non-assesable now, like it used to).

banks in Thailand have a standard process to issue both a statement from the day of request back (3, 6 or 12 months) plus a letter to the chief immigration officer verifying your a customer and you've maintained the qualifying funds. These are stamped by the bank and are the required documents by immigration to confirm funds held in a Thai bank where this is a prerequisite for an extension of stay. These cost a couple of hundred baht, and must not be more than 7 days old when presenting them at IM. So if you are using Thai funds to support your status rather than foreign funds, then its only to be expected that immigration will require the usual documentation they require for all other extensions.

@Philip ******

that unfortunatly is the rule change, the pre 2024 date for non assesable is now static, (it used to basically increase each year). So only monies that were accumalated prior to 2024, can be treated as non taxable. Monies accumalated in and remitted the following year maybe taxable at the end of the year based on their source.

@Chang ****

and your supposed to file and declare twice in a year, not just in March if you have monies coming in from rental properties.

@Garrett **********

in the context of filing a tax return, any monies that you acumalate and don,'t spend (aka savings) after the /24 may be subject to tax after remitting it to Thailand, depending on whether the initial source is assesable or non-assesable. Monies accumalated and not spent (savings) prior to /24 or prior to being a tax resident are non-assesable regardless of original source after remitting to Thailand. The word income reflects you receiving incoming money from a foreign country regardless of original source.

Theres a free shuttle bus from gate 4 (i believe) building B to the main road, and then a couple of hundred metres walk to the gov complex station on the pink line.

@Darren ********

Thailand only operate e-gates for departures, all arrivals still have to do face 2 face and receive a stamp in the passport.
