Why do ppl insist on returning the same day? Madness under the current clampdownn

Once the visa is issued you never need to show the money again unless you want to stay more than 6 months and apply for an in country extension. Your visa will be valid for 5 years from date of issue with unlimited entries of 180-days

The 180-day tax residency has always been a thing but only the last years has everybody been panicking about it. Being tax resident does not mean you have a tax liability. Only if you bring untaxed money onshore, earn money in Thailand or have investments in Thailand do you require a TIN and file a tax return, otherwise just enjoy your holiday in Thailand. As a tourist you are not even allowed a bank account so stop worrying about tax liability.

I have seen two posters complaining that immigration will not transfer the visa to their new passport

Anonymous participant 393 I agree

My first time at Suvarnabhumi was all done in 90 seconds. The IO was very impressed with my laminated A6 e-visa. She kept saying very easy to scan and showed it off to her colleague :D

The 180-day tax residency rule has always been in place, but only this last years have ppl started to worry about it. You only need a TIN and file a tax return if you bring untaxed money onshore, work in Thailand or have money invested in Thailand. Otherwise enjoy you holiday/retirement

@Paul ******

Whatever you call it you only get 7 days on your second entry

Although an METV is only valid for 6 months if you time your exit and entry correctly you can get almost 9 months in Thailand

Your second visa-exempt entry can only be extended for 7 days after the first 60+30
