The airline has a responsibility to check, depends on destination and type of ticket, they have a flag on their system - otherwise they are responsible for covering cost of return if entry is refused - I also used to travel extensively and got challenged numerous times especially going to Australia…… being refused boarding is not pleasant

@Andy *********

facts ? the fact is is if we are resident (in Thailand for +180 days) we are obliged to register for tax and submit a return - to suggest that it will just go away is not great advice IMHO i have learned not to f##k with the tax man, and that comes from living in 9 different countries why would I treat Thailand differently ?

Don’t plan on waiting to find out - personal choice, but not really responsible to encourage people to ignore it - herd mentality

Dangerous assumption……..not an issue for those without commitments here they can jump on the next plane, not so easy for others, property owners and those with families - seek good advice, which doesn’t come in a bar
