@John *********

Thank you for that text.

I wonder though why 3 Thai tax lawyers told me that it’s not official.

Where is that text from?

I guess it is from the revenue department but not from the gazette.

@Michael *******

stay out of that. None of your business when and how I answer.

@Rob ********

that’s what I did. They’re all unsure.

And I’m not asking here anyway 😉

@John *********

Where? Show me.

@Rob ********

You’re wrong.

This is in discussion as long as it isn’t published in the royal gazette.

@Tim ********

You’re wrong.

This is in discussion as long as it isn’t published in the royal gazette.

Reason to show money is “can you support yourself?”

That is only proven if it’s in a bank account.

Whatever else (insurance) can be broke next minute.

(Banks can too, but way harder and usually the government catches them)

@John *********

It still isnt in the royal gazette. That’s why even experts don’t know what to tell us.

Right now: no / almost not.

Reason: the money that one brings into the country is only taxed if it was earned the same year. And who can prove that you haven’t earned the money last year if you get it on an outside account.

Plus: many countries have agreements with T. Look it up on your country’s embassy’s homepage.

Next year. Probably everybody yes.

Because the rule of “same year” will probably be dropped as it is used by many rich Thais to circumvent tax paying.

Let’s hope there will be a “retirement exemption “.

Why 2???

The 30 day extension is done by the local immigration for 1900 baht.
