Well, it’s difficult to try and advise if the author ✍️ does not divulge all the circumstances around the issue. 🤷‍♀️

@Alex ******

You never divulged anything about your non eligibility to apply for certain visas, nor your previous EDU visas in your initial post.

No need to be narky, mate.

@Alex ******

DTV ? As I’m not sure how many EDU visas one is allowed.

if you spend that much time in Thailand, why don’t you get a proper visa rather than trying to circumvent regulations.

Why not get a proper visa?

@David *********

thank you.

I am not from the US and in my country we don’t ’collect capital gains’. We pay capital gains tax on investment returns. Why would that be a taxable event in Thailand when I have already paid tax in my home country. We have a DTA.

@Tim ********

thank you Tim.

Your first response seems to apply to the old rules,no? Capital brought in earned in the previous year did not attract tax, but it does now.

Income vs Capital? Ok I appreciate that you don’t have an answer to that.

I still don’t understand how the Thai Tax Authority is going to keep track of all of this. In my case, I would then have to supply them with tax returns for the last 25+ years. And, as I said, they would have to employ half of Thailand to review all of this stuff.

Thanks again for your helpful responses Tim.

Have a nice evening 😃

@Tim ********

Thank you for liking my last post but I’d be more interested in you responding to my previous one (the second one).

Thanks

just as an extra comment, Bangkok Bank already have my TR from last year as that was a requirement when I opened my bank account at that particular branch.
