Anonymous participant From what I have seen 300 to 400 USD is on the low end for agent charges. Just for do checking and submission. As a comparison 7k Baht is the going rate for a Retirement submission when all documents are in order and own money in the bank
Only about 4 million Thais actually pay taxes and total taxation (Direct and Indirect) is about 17% of GDP. This is quite low for similar economies 🙂 I think "Direct" taxes are only about 6% of the 17%.
