Anonymous participant 250 Same for the UK. The amount of Pattaya Bar Stool Thai Experts moaning about the UK while not having the 800k in the bank for their visa is hilarious. They are having to pay agents etc to get around this.
You would think they could get it correct and blame the OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS)
Thailand has joined the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes (Global Forum) under the OECD. This move aims to enhance transparency in international tax administration and prevent tax evasion or avoidance
I know someone who was not allowed back in. To be fair he had never attended classes. They let him fly to Cambodia. Returned on Tourist Visa and now had the B and WP he should have had originally.
I think now DTV is available those "Faux" Ed students will just move over. The majority anyway.. I think the only obstacle is the 500k but there are workarounds.
Not every location does this though and then to to every establishment. Genuine students have never had issues. Those who just want the visa and not attend generally choose establishments where this is not an issue :-)
