Anonymous participant 268 that is very unlikely because in my passport lists the authority, not the place of issuance. It says: issued by “the mayor of city x”. I entered: ‘city x in country y’, because nowhere they would accept ‘mayor’ as a place of issuance. If they only want the country they can stick it up there. I will not pay an additional fee for this bs. Lets see!

@Mark *******

the banking system has actually very little to do with the country they operate in. They are certainly not accountable to congress or any other democratic institution. They are above the law, regulated through the BIS.

Time to stand up against this BS. It was to catch terrorists, they said....

Thanks for sharing this option. May I ask: do the Cambodian banks also have EUR deposits or only USD? I want to bring sufficient cash to Thailand during my first visit as I still have to set up everything, and I curenly hold EUR.

@Iven *******

ok. That makes sense, although if it is a sole proprietorship you may just send invoices from yourself privately.

Very confused as to why you don’t want to pay taxes in Thailand. I mean they only tax remitted money. Then you dont pay anything in the country that you are currently paying taxes.

@Pete ******

ahh that makes sense. I was already confused. Thanks!

i am not familiar with the remittance system. A remittance is simply me sending money from my foreign bank account to my thai bank account (or take it cash if i dont have a bank account, i assume). What is there to proof? I dont get the concept.

Edit: from what i read online is that it is possible to get a tax id based on your address registration with a long term rental contract. That would make sense. Can anyone confirm?

@Pete ******

same question here. If you have assessable income. How should i ‘prove’ this? I cannot prove that i want to send money into Thailand (remittance) when i haven’t sent it yet.

@Maneeporn *******

thank you. what if i want to sent an invoice to a client? What is there to prove? I dont use contacts with my cliënts.

Alternatvely, what if i want to bring money into Thailand, which us taxable. How to prove i want to send money? It sound all a bit ridiculous to ‘proof’ all of these things. Won’t they just provide number when i ask them? Thats how it works just about anywhere in the world.
