@Alan ********
who's gonna be "happy" with a rejection ? You have nothing useful to say so read what those who do have to say and shut TF up!

i accidentally put mine in washing machine while pissed up in 2010. I panicked cos I used it every week flying back and forth to Germany. I called passport office and was told it's no problem ! I did my best to flatten it by placing it under heavy objects for 24 hours. Never had a problem. I learned not to load the washing machine without checking pockets while pissed up!

It won't be fun if algorithms are set rigidly and information entered isn't accepted by the system eg a thai address maybe misspelling...in philippines my hotel name repeatedly rejected...forces me to enter false information to obtain a QR code. Can you imagine paying $1800 for return flights to Bangkok only to be rejected 36 hrs before your flight? Registration is usually very close to scheduled departure date. Could really fuck up a lot of tourists if system isn't user friendly and flexible along with online human help.

i think you're wrong. Even if you owe zero as a Resident it's your responsibility to make a tax declaration (eg “i owe zero”)and be able to prove it. Apparently (if we're to believe what we're told) governments who are signatories to an international agreement share your financial and banking information with other governments so in theory Thai authorities can check your banking information in home country (I'm very skeptical but that's the line being pushed by the tax advisors here)

180 days in Thailand during a single calendar year (eg 2024) means you are considered to be Resident in Thailand and must comply with Thai laws for Residents which includes a tax declaration on 31 March the following year.

im already in Thailand. I managed to get here in compliance with the rules. I hope to add 30 day extension and a border bounce so I won't need a new ticket out until Feb 2025. Still I like to book tickets well in advance to get best prices. Last minute can be almost double price.

and if I'm refused I have only a week to book my flight ? that's unfair. I want to book a flight now (if I'm leaving by Nov 9) or in a couple of weeks if my visa is extended until Dec 9. You appear to indicate I won't find out if we'll be given extensions until a week before our visas expire. Maybe we should border bounce instead?
