depends where you live. Not everyone has an immigration office on their doorstep. But even if it was just 2 hours, I'd still rather take a vacation out of Thailand. I wouldn't want to give any bureaucrat more than a second of my time if I don't have to. You do you though 👍
it's not a stupid answer at all. I would much rather have a weekend break out of Thailand every 6 months, rather than have to deal with immigration in an office all day. Fair play if you enjoy wasting your time.. that's cool too.
Personally I'd just use this as an excuse to go for a weekend break out of Thailand every 3 months. I know I'd rather spend a weekend in Laos, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc than a whole day messing about in an immigration office.
Depends on which consulate you are going through. They all seem to have different policies. To give yourself the best chance, I would book at least 2 or 3 appointments, over a few months.
Anonymous participant that's what I'm saying - if you don't transfer money to your Thai bank account, you aren't repatriating money into Thailand. Withdrawing cash via an ATM from your foreign bank account isn't repatriating money over here. Your Thai bank won't report anything, as the cash isn't going into your Thai account.
got any references for this? Not saying you're wrong, but your point is counter to the tax accountant that was interviewed in this video. Did you watch it? Fast forward to 10m11s if you don't want to watch the whole thing.

If you don't repatriate cash into Thailand, you shouldn't pay tax on it. For example, if you withdraw cash using a foreign bank card, this isn't money that has been repatriated and therefore isn't taxable.
