Whats your nationality?! Immigration are probably cracking down on Middle Eastern and French Arabic Passport Holders as they were causing a lot of trouble especially during high season
I think the confusion is coming because - The most recent new said they were thinking of changing rules and allowing tax residents a whole two year of remittance tax free ….after 2 year then you start to be taxed…..that’s what I read
Thailand is struggling and needs inflows of currency
Currently no legislation has been passed yet , so if you’ve been staying him more than 180 days, you were still legally obliged to pay tax for remittance (without double taxation treaties etc) …..but this legalization should hopefully come in soon
