@Jef *******
teaching proper clowns and idiot amateurs like you. Try looking up ‘remittance’ FFS you poor sod

@Jef *******
yes. It is. Any funds that enter the country to pay for your stay. And if you use a credit card you just set a perfectly traceable trail. Same for debit cards

DTV is a whole different story.

@Jef *******
the bank account of every merchant you spent money at. That’s what remittance means.

Ur kidding right? You can’t seriously be thinking you can trick a national taxation department by spending with a credit or debit card do you! 😂😂😂

@Jef *******
even spending money. Every credit card, debit card and electronic transaction is totally traceable. And as a tax resident of Thailand, they can compel any of us to produce our transaction record. Someone bringing cash only in has a chance, but if you spend 180 days here, they obviously understand you remitted some money to Thailand

Very interesting. Well played. We have a similar issue and already in thailand for 5 years, but have never considered the 'sponsorship' angle. Never even heard anyone (including agencies or immigration) mention it.
