@Jim ******
so all those people lined up at Immigration every morning to register their new addresses are there for what? The people paying the TM30 fine so that they can use an Immigration service are just a figment of the imagination?

@Andrew *****
incorrect, that not how Tax residency works. Inside the Kingdom for 180 days within a calendar year and you are a tax resident, regardless of how many times you exit.

@Jim ******
instead of repeating yourself simply link to the legal requirements so that others can understand your position….

@Jim ******
yet their hotel, guesthouse, condo still files it as it is a legal requirement.

@Dac ******
they will only do six month statements on demand. To get a 12 month statement you need to order one in advance and it takes 5 working days to arrive.

Bangkok Bank issue “Certificate of Deposit” for Immigration requirements. No change to previous process, really don’t know what your issue is.

@Jim ******
you obviously are ill informed and lack understanding in basic Thai immigration requirements. The TM30 filing has been law for the last 46 years…..

Not true, every foreigner needs to be reported once they arrive at a new address within 24 hours. Hotel, apartment, condo, doesn’t matter, the reporting obligation exists. Your “long term Thai resident “ tells nonsense.

No, you have to qualify in order to obtain a TIN, just being here 180 days means you are Thai tax resident, that is all. To be required to obtain a TIN you must remit assessable income above minimum thresholds.
