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

They are hopefully changing the rules already, Thailand is facing a liquidity crisis and needs inflow of cash

They’re planning of making it two years tax-free remittance , but nothing said in Stone yet

@John *********
not true, maybe immigration can ask to see 20k baht cash

you need 500k to extend but no where in the visa conditions does it say you need 500k in bank to re enter the country

I’ve never heard of immigration officer at airport asking to see someone’s bank balance unless it’s to do with the 20k

the confusion is coming because Thailand are (hopefully) planning to allow tax free remittance for a whole 2 years into the country for all funds

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
