that is not true at all. consider again. many individual rules and Exceptions. Ireland, Dubai, Malta and so on…

your question points towards a plan of government to change the law, so in future they can also tax money which wasn't earned through a thai customer, but still you were here when earning it? these thoughts/plans exist, yet no implementation. it might be difficult to track this money, if it was earned overseas and doesn't touch thai grounds/banks. if it does come to a thai bank, there is a good risk that it might be taxed in future…

yes. if she applies as spouse, first you apply, as she needs your conf. number for hers.

go ahead, nothing wrong about this. be diligent with your papers, so they can just check boxes. have more than 500k in your account.

it can vary upon the country where you apply and on your nationality…

@Rena ********

the imagineers of imagination office you mean? 🤔

@Paul ******

completely agree! in the beginning of dtv, there was one essential video of a travel blogger, in which he interviewed a deputy minister. this was most helpful. i hope, this guy moves on and publishes a second clip where he asks about getting an account (legally enabled), 90 days, potential permission to work…

i don't like this video. it is neither: true, nor kind, nor necessary or at least helpful.

try different branches… others take/pay an agent, but you can do the walking yourself…

@Thet ********

look, your host, landlord etc. needs to file a tm30 regarding your stay. you take a tm30 hardcopy together with your passport, visa, rental agreement etc, go to immigration and get the certificate of residency. always after 90 days, you go to immigration again and file a tm45 (this time you yourself)
