Why would an extension of stay based on retirement require any tax documentation? Confused why you would think it might be necessary….

@Nongnuch *******

yet the YouTube video is from July. An agent discussing his business and the process he is using to open bank accounts that you claim is impossible to do. I think you are the one with outdated information.

@Nongnuch *******

nope that is not at all how it works. The agent opens the account and deposits funds. The bank freezes the account. You with the agent apply for and receive the Non-O. Agent returns to bank with proof of Non-O. Bank unfreezes account. As I said you are clueless of what services are being offered currently by Pattaya agents. These services are being discussed in interviews on YouTube, no need to take my word on it just look it up.

@Nongnuch *******

you are clueless then on what Pattaya agents actually offer as services.

@Nongnuch *******

sorry you are talking nonsense, bank account opening is still possible in Pattaya.

@Nongnuch *******

not true, you obviously are not as informed as you think you are. A Pattaya visa agent as recently as last week was advertising this service on YouTube. They are just avoiding BB, but yes for a fee agents are still able to open bank accounts for visa exempt or tourist visa holders and supplying the funds to qualify for the Non-O. Trying to do it yourself without an agent is now almost impossible.

@Nongnuch *******

Agents in Pattaya are today advertising this service.

@Nongnuch *******

not true. Agents in Pattaya are still able to open bank accounts for people on tourist visa or visa exempt providing they are applying through that agent for a following Non-O. Obviously for a fee.

Well you failed at the first step. You cannot work in Thailand. You cannot set up a Thai business to work in it.

@Greg *******

Thailand only taxes on remitted foreign sourced income and not on global income. No change.
