it’s a little more complicated then you are suggesting...

Anonymous participant 184 once you become tax resident any foreign sourced assessable remitted income (ATM withdrawals) may be subject to a Thai tax liability. It depends on your personal financial circumstances.

DTV God The Thai Revenue Code enlightens us all….

It’s actually very simple. Stay 180 days inside the Kingdom in a calendar year and you automatically become a Thai tax resident.

Yes a visa on arrival can be extended for 7 days at your local immigration office for 1900 baht. Go to your local office and ask for the handout of requirements.

You can report up to 7 days after your due date without issues.

You can extend your stay in two ways. 1) Simply exit and re-enter the Kingdom, no documents required to get another six month entry stamp.

2) Attend your local Immigration Office to extend your existing entry stamp by another six months. All original documentation is required plus ongoing work / soft power activity and financials.

Take the path of least resistance and simply border bounce.

You only need a TIN if you remit/have assessable income. You can live entirely legally in Thailand long term and never have a TIN. It depends on your personal financial circumstances.

The DLT regulations state for a 5 year license you must hold a non immigrant visa. I suppose it all depends how strict is your local DLT office.

here is what I don’t understand. Why are you asking Bangkok Bank for a credit advice note? Your 12 month bank statement will show all foreign transfers coded as FTT. If you have a foreign transfer not coded FTT it has nothing to do with Bangkok Bank. It has to do with the method you used to transfer which went via another bank. That is the bank you need to contact to get the credit advice note showing the foreign transfer and then the domestic transfer to your Bangkok Bank account. If none of the 12 month transfers are coded by BB as FTT you will need a credit advice note for each transfer. So again I don’t know why you are asking Bangkok Bank for something that has nothing to do with them.
