Do you currently, or in your past, ever had a business, not working for someone else, and payed appropriate business taxes? Thailand is not a training ground. The BOI expects experience, and professionalism. Most that use the BOI do it by setting up a branch office here of their existing business in their home country.

get there earlier.

@David *******

easily in one day

Yes you can, but they are at different desks, and you need a queue number for both separately.

@Mathew ******

crypto trading is taxable in Thailand. This went into effect two years ago. Untaxed money coming into Thailand is a big no no, and considered money laundering if you don't pay income tax on it anywhere.

@Mathew ******

consider the fact that you can not pay a hospital bill in Thailand with crypto. Because of that fact the bt800,000 has to be in a bank account in your name only that could be used to directly pay a hospital bill. That is the reasoning about what kind of account is legal to use.

if you don't have a re-entry permit when you exit Thailand then at that point your retirement extension ends, and you start over.

Anonymous participant no, and I was here during the last two. Doesn't affect those here legally at all. The entry reason doesn't change, or go away.

Anonymous participant lots of people simply don't understand that with Thailand being an exporting country, and yes the major percentage of their GDP is export, and that Thailand deals internationally with every country in the world, they have some of the most advanced banking systems in the world, having to meet banking regulations with every country they deal with.

@Dany *******

not true at all.
