@Anita *******
You're off the mark! I used proof of funds from my superannuation account in Australia. Way way way different to non-O visa criteria!

@Jim ********
Just make sure you don't. You just follow the masses of people heading to the standard immigration booths

@Greg *******
In the pre-insurance days of the OA visa, I did several border bounces but never once paid any fee on the Thailand side. Has this changed?
Jim ********
Sort of correct. You don't need any visa, and you get a free 60-day entry stamp when you arrive. Whatever you do when you arrive in Thailand DO NOT follow the "Visa On Arrival" signs, just follow the hoardes

@Urs *******
The information being spouted on Facebook is from the so-called "tax experts" who are touting for business. Information from the tax department is contained within the tax code and the relevant DTA

@Urs *******
Not correct. Retaining Tax Residency in your home country means you do not pay any tax in Thailand provided your "permanent home" is in your home country. Tax credits only work when you have sole Thai residence but earn money in another country. The DTA provides a tie-break formula which decides residency

@Rene *******
Correct. If the OP retains German Tax Residency, tax is only payable in Germany.
Jim ********
@Urs *******
Not correct. If the OP retains German Tax Residency and meets the criteria in the DTA, there is no requirement to file a tax return. At the very most a tax residency certificate from Germany will suffice

Yeah but when you need something major doing you have to go to your home branch
