Q1) To open a Bangkok Bank account you need a certificate of residency. You get this from your local immigration office.

Q2) Most branches require a 1 year lease agreement or proof of ownership on a property.

First stop is your local immigration office to get a list of the requirements needed for your extension. If you used an agent previously to bypass the financial requirements you are pretty much stuck with using an agent.

Why? Not following the law. How do you know? Deportation is a big punch in the nose.

If I don’t follow the law will I get in trouble? Maybe….why don’t you just follow the rules and live an easy life.

False, any remittance whether via ATM, physically or electronically may be subject to taxation depending on the source of the funds, any DTA in place and your resident status at time of remittance. Fire your tax attorney.

from your statement you obviously don’t understand that having a Thai bank account is irrelevant to having a Thai tax liability.
