@Lucas *********

how did your bank know you had switched to a DTV?

@Jo**

CRS doesnt cover credit/debit cards.

Thailand having computers doesnt change the points I listed, it would take years to implement what you suggest.

@Pete ******

I do, and I’m not worried about it. You rush off and go get your TIN now 🏃‍♂️💨

@Pete ******

Where does he say hes “using apps”?

He asks the question if using TagThai app is considered a remittance.

Linking the passport to card spending is the next required step, if, as according to Dnatjugweme, “card spending is considered a remittance”.

If in practical terms the thai authorities CANNOT check the ‘millions per day’ card transactions -check who the owner is, check their visa status, check how long they have been in thailand in current tax year, in order to demand tax, then the fact that card spending is technically a remittance is irrelevant.

@Pete ******

Dnatjugweme says that card spending is considered a remittance.

The OP states “I will not remit any money to a thai bank”

Hope that helps.

i wouldn’t worry too much about it if you’re not making transfers into thailand. People here suggesting that the thai tax dept will be able to link your credit/debit card to your passport are in dreamland.

Secondly, although this is not yet confirmed, but its likely that there’s in an incoming change to the tax stance on remitted funds :-

if it is earned within the current or previous tax year, it will not be subject to tax.

Anonymous participant i mean it could be asking where you will leave from, but the way its written should convey that, I’d like to see the screen to get context, can you take a pic?

so you flew from Bangkok, your last port of embarkation would be the bangkok airport you flew out from.

@Pete ******

I’ll save judgment till we see people with a 9month Muay Thai DTV still getting easy hassle free entry at year 3
