I do care about rules and regulations which is why I've studied the tax code and relative DTA and know for a fact that 180 days in Thailand does not affect tourists (which is what DTV holders are) if they retain tax residency in their home country. This is vital for people partaking in the discussion to know. Other people bring nothing but fearmongering to the table because they get some kind of satisfaction from it

@Christer ****

You introduced tax into the discussion which was totally unnecessary, so I thought I'd expand

@Marc *******

True, but then the DTA kicks in, which can rule tax residency in another country

@Christer ****

No big deal for someone who still retains tax residency in their home country

@Cris *****

It does, but there's ambiguities with some part which refer to "tax credits" - I eliminate these by registering as an Australian Tax Resident which means I don't even have to submit a tax return in Thailand

@Jeremy *******

I wouldn't get either as well. I need to distance myself as far as possible from Thailand Tax Residency, as I need to retain Australian Tax Residency to get the numerous concessions from there. Because residency can be based on "economic ties" I don't want any with Thailand. I won't even have a Thai driver's licence

How about you read the Terms And Conditions of operating a bank account with Bangkok Bank? They have the right (which every account holder agreed to) to freeze an account if they believe there is any breach of the law or bank policies.

Do you have a re-entry permit? If not, your non-O extension has already expired

@Pete ******

I haven't had any statement stamped for last three extensions. Why would I say that if it were not true. Plus how would I get the emailed statement stamped? If you have the bank book, it's not necessary, at least in Bangkok. Now demonstrate to me that I'm making a false statement 😂😂😂

@Brandon ***********

So you're making the rules now are you? Do you know how easy it is to get a rubber stamp made? How do you make your PDF statement align with the bank book? Bangkok Bank has not stamped statements for the last three years, and now they've made them available from the app, which is being accepted by Bangkok immigration. Why does it upset you so much? Oh wait, I know already!
