@Dave ****

You do realise this visa was introduced to get people into the country by making longer-stay visits possible and much easier? Everyone entering the country is in some way adding to the economy, some obviously more than others, but working on the saturation theory it sure is working! Why on earth will they kill the Golden Goose? This visa is here to stay

Only applies if you haven't paid tax elsewhere. You can't be taxed twice

@Seb *******

There has been nothing suggested that the 60-day exempt entry is temporary. Of course you can guess, but why would anyone base a strategy on guesses made on Facebook? The change was introduced to increase foreigners in Thailand, spending money and contributing towards the economy. It's by far the best option for someone who comes and goes frequently and spends a lot of time in other countries, as that is a true tourist

Depends which embassy/Consulate you are using. Pick the right one and the answer is yes!

Weird

I'd say you'd have to sign up with a personal trainer at your specific gym. Unlikely a normal gym membership would suffice.

@Graham ******

Go to the ATO website and in the search box type in resident for tax purposes. It'll bring up the three different methods to assess it

@Graham ******

Nothing to do with the DTA. I'm talking about the criteria to be an Australian Tax Resident

@Graham ******

I think it's best to remain silent. If the Thai Tax Office wishes to carry out an audit (Probably a million to one chance), you simply produce the Tax Paid document from your home country, work out the difference with Thailand, deduct the allowances, and put out your hand and request the Thai Tax Office gives you the difference 😂😂😂

@Peter ********

I'm with you man! Stay under the radar!
