There's no need to do an in-country extension. Why put yourself at the mercy of pedantic immigration offices when a simple border bounce will do the job?

Probably in a different country to what you claimed?

They worked out your application was fraudulent so they spanked you for it

Yes but there's been nothing official anywhere to suggest everyone has to obtain a tax ID or file a return. This is only bs being spread by these parasite tax experts touting for business. I've been in Thailand for 25 years and at least 18 of them I would have been classified as a "Tax Resident" but never once had to file a return. It's all speculation and I'll do nothing until it's formally requested

I'm talking generally. It doesn't apply to me as my Australian Tax Residency takes precedence over Thailand Tax Residency according to the DTA, so I'm not required to have a tax ID as I don't have to file a tax return. If I go to one of your buddies they'll charge me

IF you get audited? Yeah, that's really going to happen! Thailand can't even get its own citizens to pay tax!

There's not many lateral thinkers amongst expats these days is there? I get my Thai lady friend to do the exchange. Nothing traceable to me. There's always ways and means! 👍👍😀
