I'm talking about ETA pre-screening people who may have spent too much time in Thailand on tourist entries. At the moment immigration don't know who's coming until they appear at the desk. Having to obtain an ETA means people might be denied prior to arriving, as airlines will need to check this before boarding. By the way, I hate going to temples and Thai football is that bad it's not worth following 😆

At the moment it's all fairly free and easy, but when the ETA is introduced it could become difficult, as Thai immigration will have an electronic record of how many visa free entries you've had and may decline the ETA application

Don't buy!!!!! Always rent in Thailand - buy elsewhere

I'm simply truthful. If the truth hurts you so much just scroll on past. I don't have to register with the tax office, they've already informed me if I have no assessable income a tax return is not required irrespective of how many days I'm in Thailand. About 30% of Thai citizens are in Thailand for 180 days a year and have never filed a tax return, because they have no assessable income.

@Julian ******

I don't need a Thai Tax number. You're probably excited because you have one, along with your pink card, yellow book, blue book, purple book, green book and anything else which makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I've lived successfully in Thailand for 15 years without any of that nonsense, and intend to keep it that way!

@Julian ******

I've lived in Thailand for 15 years but I distance myself from anything which suggests "permanency". I have substantial investments in Australia which are all geared towards tax minimisation which I can only get by remaining a tax resident of Australia. A pink ID is an oxymoron because it's not officially an ID card! 😂

@Julian ******

I don't want one to be honest. I don't want to tie myself too much to Thailand for tax purposes. I've never missed not having one. I don't need to deal with most of you have quoted. I've opened three bank accounts with passport and lease, I have zero interest in temples, and I use my Aussie drivers license as ID when I travel domestically in Thailand.

Banks always want to see passport

@Julian ******

Pink ID is not worth a stuff

I know what it is. It's the VFS website. Waste of time and money, that's why I advised the OP it's the wrong website
