Why don’t you simply open an fcd account and send your monthly there when you don’t want to convert?

Just make sure it’s more than 65k when converted, even when you don’t want to convert.

Bangkok Bank allows you to open a usd or eur account without a y problem and you can access the money every day during bank hours.

That didn’t get through to my brain cell (the left one). That’s a language thing. Thanks for pointing it out. 👍

@John *********

Aren’t you supposed to report to IO when your employment has finished?

… and then press the red button a few times more to test whether the computer changed its mind… 🤣

It’s not even a visa. It’s an arrival card. Countries created this so the personal information is already in the system so the immigration officer doesn’t have to do it.

Shortening the queues.

@Wayne *******

Why would that be? You can still enter without a tdac after 30 April, but you may expect a long queue. 😉

@Anna ********

I know what “within” means. I’m not as illiterate as most Americans. 🤣

@Lynnette ******

Your wording is equally confusing. “Within 3 days of arriving”, meaning I have three days after arrival to complete? 🤣🤣🤣

@Lynnette ******

That’s my wording! 🤣🤣🤣

The website says “within 3 days” or something and too many conclude it must be no later than 3 days upfront. Confusing and leading to wrong conclusions.

“At least”. Wonderful translation to English as you can find many in Thailand.

I am quite deep into the tax rules of Thailand as I started a Facebook group on “Thai tax rules for expats”. You won’t believe the unbelievable number of translation errors and misinterpretations of the Thai law with which we deal on almost a daily basis.

That said, we should be grateful that they at least try. I consider that a courtesy to their tourist economy, but keep telling people to “handle with care”.
