Not sure that counts as working remotely? Most interested in how you go. Please keep us informed.

I'm confused. Let's keep it simple, if I don't have any financial accounts in Thailand, how does my home country know I'm here to notify Thai revenue. And how does Thai revenue know to check my CRS data if I'm not tax resident? Unless they take a data feed from immigration to establish tax residency status.

@John *********

thanks. I guess my main point was that if you have no Thai fiscal accounts then how would the other country know to send your data to Thai revenue. Conversely how would Thai revenue know to request data from another country. Unless Thai revenue is accessing the immigration database to see who is in the country for more than 180 days in a tax year ?

@John *********

I thought the CRS used end of year balances and distributed to any country within the group as required? Without an electronic audit trail of transfer into Thailand I'm not sure the CSR would assist Thai revenue.

It would be interesting to hear from others with details if possible of the actual characters involved.

@Toni ******

is there any reason why an R was missed? Is it a long and or complex name? I assume it is machine printed in English?

@Toni ******

thanks Toni. May I ask what citizenship passport you have, and which characters were misread? . I ask as the software is pretty good these days and these misreads should be extremely rare.

@John ******

sounds like FB folklore to me.

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

thanks, but any rejections for only passive income? Some offices ask for far more than needed. Think they can be over zealous much of the time.

hm... If everyone takes this advice then I guess we will never know what happens when an extension is requested.
