Just because you become a tax resident does not mean you have a tax liability. As a tourist, you are not allowed to work here, and if the money you bring onshore is taxed elsewhere and is covered by a double taxation agreement, then you do not need a TIN or need to file a tax return. That is what the tax office told me in Nakhonsawan. In fact, how can you possibly pay a tax liability when you are not even allowed to open a bank account?

Until you tell the bank, nothing will happen, and even then, the staff may not be aware of the rules. My account is in a provincial city away from the tourist areas, so I have my fingers crossed. Before I changed to a DTV, I attended my branch with proof that my SIM is registered in my name and to update my new passport. I don't intend to go there again :)

The grace period is two weeks before and 7 days after. All visa holders have to complete the first 90-day report in person, except LTR holders. People on retirement and marriage extensions can obtain a re-entry permit when they leave Thailand, which keeps their permission to stay alive. Their 90-day report still resets when they return, but they don't have to go in person. METV holders have to report in person with each new entry into Thailand. You can also do your first report by post or pay an agent, and this is because they want to see your actual documents for real before they allow you to do it online.

The first 90-day report must always be done in person, so don't bother trying it online.

Check with the local office, as rules vary.

I'm with AIS and pay 200 baht a month, and I never run out of data. I find that with the unlimited data package, they tend to throttle the speed if you use a lot of data.

Ignore the email. Your 90-day report resets every time you re-enter the country. As you have now entered on different permission to stay, the first 90-day report must be done in person. However, it is worth trying to do it online.

If you would like to drive, either vehicle or motorcycle, while visiting Thailand, you are required by law to hold an international driving license.

You can obtain a non-O visa in Thailand, but you must already have a Thai Bank account as you must have 800k in the account the day you apply.
