why not if she's a good one 🤷🏼😂

@Tod ********

very helpful advice and given in a very polite way, where some wouldn't be anywhere near as polite, (in some Fb groups at least) 👍😊

@Greg *******

yes, "proposed"... I know that. I'm not particularly worried, like so many seem to be, but then, I reckon that those who are worried might be wealthier expats/Pensioners. My point in responding to the other comment Erwin the link, was that Thailand was looking at possibly taxing income earned worldwide, not just in Thailand. As you said it's only a proposal right now

@Tod ********

no worries, thanks

@Steve ********

thank you 🙏

@Steve ********

I'd you don't mind me asking, have you been in Thailand for a decent amount of time, or at least had A Thai Bank Account for many months or even years? I'm wondering if you've entered the country just after you've had a Non-O Visa approved and only have 3 months before doing an extension application, how can you provide 6 months of bank transactions? Maybe

@Tod ********

might correct me if I'm misunderstanding something or lead me in the right direction. This is a situation I might be in, within the next year or so.

@Ian *******

😊👍

@Ian *******

is that an 'Adults Only' Visa? 🤣

I think you mean Non Immgrant-O A Visa

@Tony *********

you're not the only one who's searched the group and the specific answer you're looking for doesn't appear as you'd like. I've done it & dozens of posts from others appear, not a specific answer, which means wading through possibly dozens of posts and 'gazillions' of comments. I gave up searching and asked in my own post (after searching online as well). These groups are here for helping people, so why some people choose to comment with words that aren't helpful, but just lead you into a maze is beyond me. Because too many foreigners on tourist visas have been opening bank accounts in past years, Thailand seems to be asking for them to have long term visas to open accounts. A lot are therefore turning to Agents to help them open accounts, at costs up to 5000 Baht.

because over a longer period of time, Immigration officers would see it as he's only a tourist trying to live in Thailand. He's married to a Thai and needs to keep his 'Non-O' Visa
