Since ’78 and living here for past 6 years - your point is 🤔

They are illegal and therefore not insurable

Or until they require a tax clearance to renew visa then rhe agents will collect the taxes :- )

LTR is exempt

@Marty ********

yes

on remittances if you are tax resident (>180 days in a tax year) which is Jan to Dec. A DTA with you home country will offset against any tax due provided you file there, US , UK , AU and many others have DTA but you still need to file a tax return. Many will ignore but taxman never goes away if in doubt check with you pr local tax office

@Tim ********

that will drop his friend in the brown stuff , then again if his friend won’t register him then he will have to deal with consequences.

If you are here more than more than 180 days in a tax year - Jan-Dec you are tax resident - either avoid that or talk to an accountant they can provide guidance on how to minimize exposure. Remittances are now subject to Thai income tax.

@Michael *******

would still talk to an accountant, I also bring in my UK pension along with my wife’s from Singapore, and I have discussed with accountant and local tax office and they have advised me to file a return , and any tax due on remittances will be offset by a credit for tax paid in UK and SIN under DTA’s with both countries - I can’t afford to fall foul of tax man, he never goes away and I have too much invested here with our own property and two dogs……it will only be a problem for many if they link tax to visa renewal then the brown stuff hits the fan and agents get rich - good luck.
