correct, requirements change every couple of months and a lot of websites have outdated info, for example to get a residence certificate you don't need a fresh 90-day report anymore, anywhere. A lot of websites still say you do.

Just got mine as well, no 90-day reporting, just a residence certificate.

the whole thing took me 75 minutes, between 9am and 10:15am, from entering a clinic to get a certificate to obtaining both DL plastic cards (moto+car).

no, you can't. When you're using a credit card - you're not remitting anything, in fact you're only creating a debt in the bank of origin (usually an offshore country). In no circumstances this can be interpreted as remittance to Thailand.

Exactly on point. On top of that - if you're an offshore business owner (in relation to Thailand), then you have another layer of law to consider.

After 180 days in the country, you automatically become a tax resident.

But what most people are getting confused about - being a tax resident and having to pay taxes (or even registering for a tax ID) are 2 separate concerns. No blanket rule, and each case is completely different.

If you are a tax resident (180 days rule) and you remit any money to the country as a farang - you should always ask a tax lawyer if you should pay anything.

It's priceless ;-)

Can you send me info as well please?

Depends on the local consulate. Generally should not be a problem. I had the same situation, no questions.

Officer was so enthusiastic and smiling when he saw my DTV visa that he stamped me... 7 months:)

I didn't notice that either. Then he chased me around the airport to fix the mistake :)
