Anonymous participant 558 Wow you really can't read, can you?

The question was simple.

I haven't done the 90 day report due to circumstances, if I leave the country will there be consequences other than the fine?

He/she wasn't asking anything more than that.

It is only in your mind that this question goes further than the original question. Because somehow you want to show of your knowledge or something.

No wonder that you post anonymously since you care to be a know-it-all prikc

Anonymous participant 558 Yes, but that wasn't the question the poster of this message was asking now, was it?!

Anonymous participant 845 So what is it? Genuinely interested in the difference between "the law" and what ever this is.

Yes, left the country yesterday. Also didn't do the 90 day report. No problem at all when exiting. No fine, no questions, nothing.

It is just one of the unnecessary hoops the Thai government likes to let you jump through. I am glad to be back in Cambodia

@Marianne *******

I refuse to become a tax resident here since they won't even allow me to open up a bankaccount.

Not gonna pay taxes if I get zero services for it.

Besides like I said: I would much rather stay in Cambodia or in Vietnam. Nicer people, more bang for your buck, better city layouts, better transportation. Thailand is nowhere near what it is cranked up to be.

It is maybe not a scam, but it's also not worth it

You can only stay 6 months per year. Because who knows what happens tax wise?

Better just get in on a tourist visa and do 1 borderrun. Then go to another (SEA) country again

The Philippines and Cambodia are still absolute winners for longterm visas.

Also some Latin American countries have way better options and do allow you to open bankaccounts on 5 year visa.

Thailand is okay-ish, but is a still a very littered, chaotic country. Just like the rest of it's neigboring countries. Yet it is way more overhyped and more expensive.

Adnan Khairi No it isn't normal everywhere. As an European I can fly to anywhere in Europe without being asked a single question. A 1 second glance at my passport is all I get.

@Wannikea ********

Were all of these on DTV though?! I do not see the connection between the DTV and the crimes committed?

They will get drugs inside of the country without a visa. Call centres were mainly in Myanmar and it were Chinese that were kidnapped

@Guillermo ********

What fraud? What kind of fraud could you possible do with a DTV visa?

So you applied about 11 days ago and stressing a bit already? No reason to, although that message that you got was a bit alarming.

Btw: Is it so bad to stay longer in Bali? (Wish I could go there, but I have a cat)
