They will probably block those who go out then come back the day after. Probaly 60 days then u must leave for 60 days before coming back with a waiver stamp. Other than that u will need to apply for a visa.

@Pierre ********

Any day now in fact! I live back in Philippines, even they are cracking down. They have limited the daily withdrawal to about usd5000 per day. I just withdrew usd2500 and it had to be authorised by the branch manager! Mulling cash is high on the agenda!

@Jay ******

The Indian are coming up and in second place. They come to Thailand set up bank accounts acquire Thai sim cards, go over the border to Mayanmar and Cambodia and scam via Thai mobile towers using their Thai sims and bank accounts. The banks have been infiltrated

@Nick ******

yes, in otherwards don't rely on border runs as many have been doing.

@Martin ********

manly people use border run/bounces to be in thailand for months every year!

@Darren ******

These things work in the opposite direction (Japan, South Korea) That if u are in country for longer than 183 days, YOU must go to the tax office and ask for tax CLERANCE to leave, this is already law in Thailand just its not enforced AS YET!

@Martin *********

just became a risky retirement plan. Thailand has become the SE Asia center for crime, the most damaging crime, financial! The Chinese are pissed off with Thailand!

just became a risky retirement plan.

@Darren ******

The issues people will get soon enough is if you are in country longer than 183 days, they will be able to check if you filled a tax return! Crack down after crack down! Thailand has more crack than RFK and Hunter combined!

In deed. The letter from the Tax office looks like this: Dear Mr Gearhart. We notice you have not filled a tax return for the last 5 years; We do notice that 1,000,000 Baht has been deposited in your Bangkok Bank account each year from your pension provider. We also notice usd550k deposited last year, which I am still investigating for use in a house purchase using a company with nominee shareholders already found guilty and is also subject to income tax which you will be advised of at a later date (if you transferred this money to your wife as a gift and you also live in this house you will both be prosecuted for fraud). We are therefore applying emergency tax to your account of 340,000 baht (34%) per year plus 680,000 baht per year (200% penalty) which make tax due of (340,000+0) *5 immediately, failure to pay will result in criminal proceeding! Since you are late filling, we will not allow you any allowance nor will we respect any dual tax agreement. In respect of your illegal house purchase this matter is with the commerce department who are preparing a criminal complaint against you. Kap Kun Kap!
