If you can't prove you've paid the tax, as you've rightly pointed out, do you think the thai tax office will say never mind just let us know when you can? If they tie it to extension approval which is my GUESS they will, then you won't get the extension if you haven't got a tax receipt. I can't see any other way they can do it. It's already stipulated on the marriage visa form, No 6 I believe.

@Bradley ********

they only have to tie it to extension renewals and all your suppositions fade away. They can wait for you to come to them, no flash systems required.

@Frederick ********

you can’t, you will have to pay the tax and then claim it back when you have the proof. Good luck with that 😳

denial, they’re living on their bones and know this could finish them!

@Keith ********

it’s classified as international if you mark it as such, if that doesn’t appear it’s user error not bank error

Harry ChapmanI’m an owner and buyer - you’re talking nonsense, you have no concept of the subject, cannot provide any semblance of the figures I’ve asked for, provided no evidence of the market based on facts, and have zero idea of other world markets. Apart from hearsay and based on all that you’re trying to tell me what’s going on? How many properties do you own and in which cities Harry? I’m thinking none right? forgive me if I file you under ‘no idea’!

@Harry ********

Whats the condition of them? Where are they located, what are the fees etc etc? There are thousands listed in London, there are thousands listed in New York, in Sydney etc etc. Whats your point? Whole projects quickly get sold out in Hua Hin, in Samui, and, when a new condo block goes up in BKK it is regularly sold out before the first bit of turf has been dug up! I've tried to buy several and been told they've all gone and they haven't even started the bulding! So now give us the sales figures....

@Harry ********

I own my houses in my name only. You’ve always been able to. Only a small percentage care about profit, the vast majority are buying ‘homes’. But at the end of the 10,20,30 years ownership I’ve got a house to sell. at the end of the 10,20,30 years rent you’ve got nothing. That will always eat away at renters.

always happy to spread a little knowledge

@David *******

no they don’t. Unlike the old wives tale your passport doesn’t digitally hold that information. Which is also why they can’t accurately tell you immigration numbers because they don’t know who’s left!
