I know thats the case when you apply inside of Thailand. Is that the same when one applies at an embassy outside of thailand? I know there are other differences as well.

It says either or because it is either or.

@Roberto ********

So you’re refusing to answer my question: does not having a work permit automatically mean someone doesn’t have to file taxes? You know I’m right, which is why you’re dodging it. And who said I wasn’t prepared with my documents? You keep assuming sh*t. I had far more than you did.

Again, reading comprehension is useful. I CLEARLY said they didn’t ask me a single question about anything. Nothing about tax residency, how much money I brought in, the source of that money, nothing. None of the questions that the office you went to asked you. As soon as I said I didn’t have a work permit, they didn’t care about anything else. The fact that the office you went to may have known what they were doing has absolutely no bearing on whether the office I went to did. The numerous reports of conflicting information being given by different offices only confirm what I said. Yet you're here acting like all offices within a government agency are 100% aligned with the actual rules as if its you're first time in Thailand.

Now you bring up your experience, which you hadn’t mentioned before, and act like that somehow proves I lack reading comprehension. 🤣🤣🤣

I accept their answer because it's the office I would be filing at. I didn't push anything, I wasn't "shown the door". That doesn’t mean it's the correct answer, nor does it mean I can’t comment on my experience — specifically, that not all offices are the same and that some either don’t know the rules or don’t want to deal with the additional workload.

Seriously, just stop dude. You’re embarrassing yourself. Every time I shoot down the criticism you're trying to make you come up with some new nonsense.

@Roberto ********

Haha, this is where reading comprehension comes in handy. I said they are either clueless OR doing it on purpose to minimize their workload.

Tell me, since you're the tax expert, does someone automatically get out of filing or owing taxes simply because they don't have a work permit? Because that's exactly what they told me. They never asked how much money I brought into Thailand, the source of that money, or any other relevant questions. All they cared about was whether I had a work permit and whether I worked inside Thailand. Are you going claim that's correct just so you can keep arguing? Because it's not. So they either don't know their own tax laws OR are intentionally misleading people to avoid doing extra work. What exactly is it if it isn't one of those two things? My statement stands and is correct. Whose the village idiot now.🤣🤣🤣

Seriously, you don't know how to stop when YOU'RE behind. Why don't you go back and find some other spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors. At least you got that one right.🤣

@Roberto ********

haha. Reading comprehension really isn't your guys strong suit is it. Next time I'll run it through chatGPT and have it rewrite my comment at a 2nd grade reading level for you.

You felt the need to chime in and say my original comment was hard to follow because I specifically didnt say something. Then when I pointed out that I did in fact say EXACTLY what you claimed I didn't, you needed to clarify. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just like the other clown you assume nonsense, like they "showed me the door". It was a very simple and civil 2 minute conversation with a couple of back and forth questions. After which I said thank you and left. But that's me being shown the door in your world.🤣🤣🤣

Now all you have to fall back on is a simple missed "you're vs your". I'm sure glad to know there's people out there that are perfect and never ever miss a spelling or grammatical error like yourself.

Pathetic. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

@Roberto ********

and how exactly does one show otherwise? There was nothing vague about it. I said I remitted INCOME into thailand, not that I remitted money into thailand that is considered income until proven otherwise. One could simply trust that I know what is and isn't income instead of making the assumption that I don't. Especially when it doesn't change the point I was making in any way, since the tax department never even asked any details of how much money I brought in or where it came from. I could've brought in 20 million baht of income that needed to be taxed, but they didn't ask or care.

I didn't realize I needed to give the specific details of every single penny I brought into thailand. You want more details than the tax department did, which kind of proves the point of my original post.

First you say I didn't say something, and after clearly reminding you that I said EXACTLY what you said I didn't say, you then try and pick apart some other small nonsense detail. Rather than be an adult and say "oh, I completely missed that". Seriously, you two are a bunch of clowns that don't know when to stop when your behind.

@Roberto ********

I literally say I "remit income into Thialand" in my very first comment. That makes it pretty clear that it is income and not savings, and that I brought that money into thailand. Seriously, how much more clearer can that possibly be?

@Andy ***********

🤣🤣🤣 does that change the fact that I NEVER said anything remotely close to bringing money, or income into thailand automatically meant it was assessable and a person needed to file? You assumed my income wasn't assesable and then felt the need to twist my words into something I did not say just so you could correct it. After I shot you down on your other criticisms of my comments. You just keep searching for anything, even if you have to make it up.

@Andy ***********

Again. Where did I say that one needs to file if one "brings money" into thailand? I said I told immigration "because I remit INCOME into thailand". And I never said whether or not that income was assessable. You just assumed it was not, along with assuming what I believe and do not believe.

You really do need to brush up on reading comprehension and just stop trying to find any little thing you can to pick apart about anything I said. You're not good at it.

@Andy ***********

Again, where did I say, or even imply, that I did not consider that the end of the story for me? I left the office and didn't think twice about it besides making a comment about my experience.

As for my comment that they don't know what they're doing, I stand by it. When multiple offices are giving contradictory and conflicting information, it's clear that communication, understanding or interpretation of the law, and enforcement are not well-coordinated. I think that's a strong indication that they don't know what they're doing. If you have a different opinion that's great. I stand by mine.

As for you not having assessable income and not needing to file, that is irrelevant to any of the issues that you're trying to raise with my comments, and unrelated to any comment I made.
