The agent opens an account in the applicant's name into which they put the 800,000 Baht into. I'm sure they don't put that sum of money into the applicant's own bank account. They'd disappear real quick!
I'm Australian and I visit Australia twice a year so no big deal for me. I'm switching to DTV later this year so I'll be doing that from Australia as well
Depends on the "untaxed income". All income I earn in Australia is already subject to taxation, with the exception of pension which is exempt tax in Thailand. I have to declare any income earned in other countries on my Australian Tax return. However, if this is already taxed in another country, I am allowed credits against Australian Tax. I used to own an apartment in Germany on which I paid tax in Germany. I declared the income on my Australian Tax return, which made it "liable" to tax in Australia, but as I'd already paid in Germany, this offset anything I would have had to pay in Australia.
Doesn't quite work that way in all situations. Because of my situation, although I'm a dual tax resident, I am deemed to be tax resident solely of Australia. In this case Australia is my taxation authority, and Thailand is out of the loop, except as I say for money earned in Thailand
