Could someone please explain the meaning of 1.2.1 please.

2.2 - "the alien may be required to fill out the form as attached in the annex hereto". Is there an English translation of this form available, please?

When I try to open the second attachment, I get an error message - "You do not have permission to view this attachment".

And is that amount "net" income (i.e. after tax) or "gross" income (before tax)?

Consider the town or place where you work to be the place where live and you are a tourist in Thailand.

We might like to consider matters that way but we need to know if the Thai authorities do.

If you have a home in Thailand (particularly somewhere owned, or rented relatively long-term) and, possibly, have family living in it, I can well see that they might not take the view that you are a tourist. But, as I said above, we need to know their definition of a "tourist".

My situation is that I don't work (anywhere) and spend about 45% of my time in Thailand and the remainder in the UK. I go to Thailand about 5 times a year and have been using visa exemption until now. I own a condo in Thailand which I regard as a holiday home. I would explain my situation as having two homes, the main one in the UK, the secondary one in Thailand.

Do I qualify to be regarded as a tourist and thus eligible for visa exemption?

It seems to me that this all centres around what the Thais regard as a "tourist". The London Thai embassy website says:

 

According to the Interior Ministerial Announcements dated 1 October B.E. 2545 (2002), 20 December B.E. 2545 (2002), 18 October B.E. 2547 (2004) and 6 May B.E. 2548 (2005), passport holders from 41 countries and 1 special administrative region - Hong Kong SAR - are not required to obtain a visa when entering Thailand for tourism purposes ...................

 

 

If you live in Thailand but go abroad to work, do you qualify to be regarded as a tourist?

 

My situation is that I don't work (anywhere) and spend about 45% of my time in Thailand and the remainder in the UK. I go to Thailand about 5 times a year and have been using visa exemption until now. I own a condo in Thailand which I regard as a holiday home.

What is the number of times in one year that you can enter Thailand with a 30 day visa exempt stamp. I was told by immigration officials at airport when I entered that since this was my 3rd entry in 2014 that I may not be allowed to come back

 

Same question but asking for further clarification -

 

1.  If there is such a rule, what is a "year" - the present calendar year or the last 365 days?

 

2. If there is such a rule, does it apply to everyone or just those coming from neighbouring countries?

 

3.  If there isn't a restriction based on number of visits in one year, are there any other restrictions planned and, if so, what are they (full details)?
