Nope

In a car you will be fine for 3 months, on a motorbike you will get fleeced on a regular basis without an IDP, if you have a UK address apply on line through AA/RAC and get it sent to your home address and then send here by EMS

Amazing advertising a corrupt process, bit like the agents who offer to take driving test for you mind blowing

more likely a tax clearance cert , but who knows ,ignorance is bliss for many, I can’t afford to get blindsided by tax man can be painful

got my Tax ID no problem, having lived in Africa for 20 years understand 3rd world logic and it can also bite you in the ass 😐

@David *********

correct, but there is no other way they can enforce it , so it’s a logical next step which folks should prepare for - back taxes and penalties can be brutal. They will probably look at levels of compliance before deciding on how to enforce, thats why I am taking no chances, too much to lose, for the sake of filling out a few forms every year.

@Jim *******

I have tax residency in UK as I earn income from property rental, even though I don’t spend more than 20 days a year there, s I have to file there and that also includes income from UK pensions. I am now obliged to file here as resident under new guidelines but can use tax paid in UK as a credit against small amount of tax due here, as I only remit 65k a month which also takes care of my visa requirement. Having bought here last year, we don’t pay rent so live comfortably. Everyone’s circumstances will differ.

@Jim *******

remittances are regardless of source, however a DTA will allow you to use tax paid in your home country as a credit in Thailand, still requires due process to be followed. Personal choice based on circumstances, with a home and other investments here as well as a (non Thai ) wife I don’t plan to f@@k with the system or pay agents.would cost me more than any tax due. Everyone to their own I guess.

Not if you spend more than 180 days in Thailand , and tax residency in UK for example depends on type of income. Rental income for example is taxable regardless of tax residency.

@Jim *******

remittances are assessable income
