which office is that? It's always been a full-day kinda thing for me.

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.

You can apply for one, sure. You probably won't be approved though.

@James *******
this is good advice but just a heads up that if you don't print out your visa, you'll probably be ok if you just show the pdf on your phone. Worked fine for me.
