Most countries have tax amenities agreements between them now and share tax information to make sure no one gets under the radar by living in another country . 🙏🏽

Surely visiting 4 times for a month or under is only one thing,Tourism,not maximising 60 days or extensions or bounces,But Thailand has the luxury of so many tourists now it can judge how it wants,or Worsley an individual I.O officer can judge,it really does need some guidelines to help people asking these questions ,rather than hanging wondering how a I.O officer is feeling 🙄

It's one hour travel but add in getting from the plane through immigration & baggage collection ,then check in,security and immigration other end ,so it's very tight 🙏🏽

thanks Brandon,I can meet all the requirements ,I was going to apply for the non-O to arrive on,so I can open a bank account and extend to the retirement 1 year,if this is correct .my concern is I have a prison sentence from when I was 21 in the UK,I'm now 53 and my concern was if I needed a criminal background check for non -O but appears not ,I would also like to apply for it either in turkey or Egypt as I don't intend visiting the UK 🙏🏽

@Brandon ***********

and from a 90 day non O,can I then once in Thailand extend to retirement visa ?🙏🏽

@Robert *************

with Non O do you have to provide a criminal data based check in the UK ?

@Chris ******

yes correct ,not every Irishman is IRA and not every American a red neck of course ,but there are quite a lot of Russians moving suspect money for sure ,but there's also lots of decent Russians about as well 🙏🏽

@Chris ******

do what I did 11 yrs ago and stop watching the news ,they want you to live in fear to keep there business going ,Myanmar is a lovely tourist safe country and I love going there .The visa bounce is run by the Thais ,5 minutes speedboat ,immigration 100m walk ,they show you the way,take your passport ,stamp you in and out in one go,give it back with a smile ,it's there business that they are paid for ,so very safe .Don't listen to BBC,Myanmar is friendly and so interesting ,the temples as Bagan are great . 🙏🏽

It's only usual in any country that has an influx of Russians moving in 😂 nothing bias against Russians but there's always a large percentage of dodgy money stuff linked to them and there accounts ,theres one going problems also in Bali and Vietnam with them 🙏🏽

@Nongnuch *******

I want to have my own bank account and not be tied into an agent ,at some point laws around agents could change and I want to do it all properly ,but much appreciated 🙏🏽
