@Nongnuch *******
true but why bother. May as well get it out of the way rather than finding out all preexisting is excluded. My OA (obtained in origin country) required Thai insurance.
Steve *******
No. Must be on the list of insurers approved by the Thai government. The list is on their website
Steve *******
@Mark ******
correct. I suspect most of the people concerned are in tax treaty countries.
Steve *******
The rules are not yet finalised.

One thing is for sure , you will not be double taxed. If you pay tax on it in another country then Thailand may only collect any differential if at all.

It may only apply to money brought into the kingdom but absolutely nothing is final yet.

At this point I would plan on

Yes you will pay tax on income brought into the country.

The tax will only be any differential. E.g if you paid $10 tax and the Thai total is $12x you will pay $2 to Thai authorities.

However that’s just a guess. Absolute nothing is finalised yet

until you can’t. Considering how arbitrary things are and just how badly a problem could mess one up it’s just so much simpler. Mine at BB gathers a small amount of interest and I never have to think about it

@Mikkel ******
which is why 3 months before 2 months after or even simpler - just keep it there all the time. There are enough twists and turns without having to remember a calendar date that you might forget or miss because “Fang. The Mastermind” kidnaps you
Steve *******
That’s standard. In the bank 3 months before extension and 2 months after. A Thai bank
Steve *******
Yes. That’s the simplest, most fuss free way to go. Other than forking over a large sum permanently for an Elite card
