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!
that’s sounds correct but do you think the thais will have the processes/paperwork/knowledge to deal with the various arrangements throughout the 202 countries on this planet? I can envisage many frustrated tax office encounters
I initially thought that, you can't build complex tax systems in a year. Even the UK had to give up on a huge NHS system. BUT if they tie it to visa extensions, which is the only way I can see it happening then they don't need to build anything. They can wait for everyone to come to them, if you don't have a tax receipt for everything thats gone into your account, they don't renew. Simple. Of course there are ways round that and there are some generous allowances which no-one seems to mention, but thats the basic premise in my opinion.
