ETA is only for people arriving without a visa or current extension

Nothing ambiguous about the Australian DTA. Easy to prove tax residency in Australia. Other countries may have difficulty but Australia as always, is the winner!

VFS is merely a collection agency. The decision on UK visas applied for in Thailand is actually made by the UK Passport Office in India

You're still missing the word "solely". A person with dual tax residency is tested on the DTA. Australia wins! No matter what you or your buddy Carl says. Happy to be audited. I'll send a copy of the DTA! But both you and I know I won't be audited! 😂😂😂

Shows just how little you actually know. Try reading section 3(a) of the Australian DTA and focus on that magic word "solely"! Game, Set and Match AUSTRALIA!!!

Immigration already has a record of arrivals and departures. The ETA is a mechanism for visa exempt entries to pay the 300 baht tourism tax. People with current visas/extensions won't need an ETA. The DTA will actually determine who is a tax resident of Thailand or of another country. Only one residency is applicable, as double taxation is not applicable. You should have asked your accountant mate - he would have told you - or maybe not as he's out to scam people!

Wrong again! But it's irrelevant anyway. The ETA has nothing to do with a Double Tax Treaty! Big win for AUSTRALIA!! 🦘 🦘

ETA is for visa exempt entries. You're way behind the eight ball. 😂😂😂

@Graham ******
Doubt it. The Thai Tax Office would look at the DTA first. Very easy for Aussies to retain Australian Tax Residency, in which case Aussie Tax Office gets the dollars!! 😂😂😂

Crooked accountant? Like those you keep pushing in these threads? 😂😂😂😂. If I'm ever audited (highly unlikely) I'm happy to provide my annual tax assessment which shows I pay tax 😂😂😂
