just mean they are limiting the number of entries by land again. They might tighten again air airports. Try to get some sort of real visa.

@William *******

who knows how long they would let you do this, they have limited the number of land borders to two a year. how far are you from 50?

@William *******

i.c so they come with exemption stamp for 60 days and can extend for another 30 days. The talk has been that eventually they will be stopped.

birth certificate, adoption certificate, marriage certificate, civil partnership certificate.

exactly what is irrelevant?

Depends who you made the gift to. The biggest mistake people make is with gifts to relatives such as "wives" The rule with gifts is the gifter must never again benefit from the gift. Hardly true if it's a relative. Good luck. As far as assets owned prior to 1st Jan these will be tax free, but any income earned after that date will be taxable. Make sure you have proof of when you acquired the asset, and a valuation dated 31st dec 2023. Remember the CRS. If you have no acceptable proof the capital gain will be from the date you acquired the asset, house for example.

Make sure you have the docs to claim that status. Just saying it probably won't work, as of today nobody knows what's docs they will accept.

if you are in Thailand for 180 days or more and the funds are remitted to Thailand, then it's probably assessable subject to DTA. If they pass the draft proposal, then even funds that are not remitted to Thailand are probably assessable.

@Andy ***********

well, I am not running in fear. I have a capital gain next year with a very low tax bill in the source country would give rise to a 30% tax bill in Thailand so yeah, I am going to use a tax avoidance tactic (same as you), that is be resident in Philippines which does not tax foreigners on their foreign income. 😁😁😁😁😁

I always thought there where special agreements for seafarers and flight crew! If you are coming in regular with no visa I am surprised they have pulled you over. BTW if you are resident 180 days or more you will need to file a tax return under the new income tax rules.
