I think you need to lay off the weed buddy, you were talking crap before now it's oozing out your pores. You really have no idea. So a tourist who's here for 30 days has to file a tax return?? Oh Jesus - you've lost it! 😂

@Urs *******

Buddy when someone called URS SCHMID tells me I can't understand English I go into fits of laughter! 😂😂😂

@Urs *******

I'm talking about immigration you fool. Jesus! And tax is only assessable on money remitted into the country. You're not the sharpest knife in the kitchen drawer are you? 😂😂😂

@Urs *******

Why would a DTV holder ever need a TIN? There's no need for a DTV'er to ever visit immigration. I think you're taking too much notice of the internet fear-mongers, or maybe you're one yourself? Where do you get the 95% figure from? Did the voices tell you that too?

@Urs *******

Yes. I get the information from the most reliable source. This one. It's free!

@Urs *******

Tax Office has nothing to do with immigration. I won't be crying. I've lived in Thailand for too many years to take notice of internet myths. I have been "tax resident" of Thailand for almost fifteen years and never needed a TIN or to file a tax return. I can't see it changing so I won't be doing anything different from what I've done in the past, as will many expats. If for any reason the Tax Office suddenly decides to change its stance, there will undoubtedly be an "amnesty" as there always is in Thailand. You can be a subservient sheep if you wish, but I'll wait it out!

@Urs *******

I've seen nothing on the Australian Embassy website, so I imagine Australians are exempt?

@Urs *******

What they will have to face next year? Please tell us what that is exactly? 👍

@Urs *******

My advice is don't listen to this guy. He's touting for business. Fact is there are no changes to taxation law which directly affect expats. These laws have always been in place but expats have generally ignored them, and there's no enforcement. Current speculation is based on what "might" happen next year. Like many, I'm just sitting it out to see what happens and I'll then play the DTA card! 👍

You can do the first one by mail. That's the easiest
