"Country of residence" = Australia. Thank you for confirming! Nowhere in the tax code does it state "savings" must be in a bank account! Stop struggling and let it go! 😂

@Sefton *******

Haha! Yeah yeah yeah. Whatever you say must be right - even though I know differently. Any savings amassed prior to Jan 1 this year are exempt tax. That's from the tax office itself, and you're trying to tell me that "chats" you've had with "experts" overrules government policy. Excuse me whilst I ROFL. Ask your buddy Carl "Gimme Your Money" Turner how he's going to manipulate that one! 😂😂😂

@Alex ******

I never said that. You open a bank account in Thailand, you get a debit card.

@Alex ******

If you get no credit it's not a credit card. It's a debit card ffs 🤣

@Sefton *******

Yes that applies to people who are resident in Thailand, but using the formula in s.3 of the DTA and deeming Australian Tax Residency, there is zero tax payable

@Sefton *******

You simply bring in money which was earned before January 1st this year then it's exempt tax, the Thai tax department has already said that. So if you don't file a tax return you're going to fined 100% of what tax should have been paid. So 100% of zero in my calculations is actually zero! 🤣

@Peter *******

He's asking about credit card which can't be done

@Alex ******

No such thing! You can't get a Debit Credit Card - it's one or the other. Almost impossible for any foreigner to get a credit card in Thailand. You get an ATM debit card

@Alex ******

An agent cannot get you a credit card. All they do is get a bank account

@Peter *******

That's an ATM card not a credit card 🤣🤣🤣
