At Aseannow we have been talking about the new tax law for almost a year. Some people even claim that after we sent large sums of money from abroad to a Thai bank, the bank started to call the customer and ask if they paid the tax on the amount. Everyone is waiting to see what will happen at the end of the year. The vast majority say that they will be forced to leave Thailand and started looking for alternative locations.

The money has to come from outside Thailand. You cannot serve a Thai or a foreigner living in Thailand even over the internet.

As far as I have seen on forums and social media, many people staying on the Married and Retired visa are trying to convert to DTV. It is almost equivalent to Thai Elite visa. They think DTV is the best visa type.

@Kevin *******

They even accept your bank account in the UK for 500k in the visa procedure. It does not necessarily have to be a local bank account.

@Kevin *******

They want to make us all taxpayers but they don't even allow us to open a bank. 😥

15 months ago I opened a bank account at KMUTT Bangkok Bank branch. Today I will have my girlfriend call the branch for you and ask again. I will tag you if I get positive news.

I opened my bank account 15 months ago. Recently, many tourists have been caught opening a bank account with a tourist visa and trading P2P on Binance without a work permit. Maybe the new government may have banned it. Good luck mate 😇
