Yes but basically, nobody truly knows what is going on with the situation right now. We are all waiting for further guidance with regard to how tax treaties will impact your taxes (I understand Thailand has tax treaties with 61 different nations and each treaty is unique.) Also, your individual circumstances will dictate if you owe any tax to TL. At this point we are in a holding pattern until we receive further instructions from the powers that be.

thanks very much. I truly appreciate it!!

IMHO, by far the easiest thing to do is just leave the 800K THB in the bank. You then don't need to worry about any of the pitfalls spoken about in the earlier comments and the pitfalls are indeed real.

I've heard of people not even bothering with the 90 day report. They just pay the 2K fine when it's time to renew the visa.

nice catch, I didn't notice that. It's definitely going to cost more with the initial visa.

I saw this one the other day but I have no idea how reputable they are. That said, I hear people on here rave about how good TikTok Services is but I've never used them & I don't know their prices.

@Chizel ******

well done!

I didn't read all the comments so maybe this has already been addressed but technically you need to have the equivalent of 20,000 Thai Baht in cash & proof of where you'll be staying (e.g. Proof of hotel booking.) BTW,the 20K THB can be in ANY currency (e.g. GBP, USD, EURO, etc.)

If you're really concerned about it then use this service. I've never used it but I've seen other people say it worked fine for them.
