You read but did not comprehend the post you replied to? "you need to have had 800,000 baht in the bank for three months after your last extension was granted and for two months before the the new application, and 400,000 baht in the bank for the remainder of the previous 12 months".

I disagree - if you are describing full time expats as 'tax residents'. DTA's protect the vast majority - and can you really imagine the Thai authorities can handle a million? new tax returns in 2024?

I suspect they can't; I think that is why they have joint operations - police and Immigration police. The only time that I have ever been asked to show my passport was at a joint checkpoint on highway 2. I never carry my passport when out - I do take it with me if traveling out of province.

That may come as a surprise to BA.. British Airways (BA) is the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom. It is headquartered in London, England, near its main hub at Heathrow Airport. You don't have to be nationalised to be the national flag carrier.

He will have no problem.

Why?

If the latest press reports are correct (and the latest response you had suggests this is the case) you need a 'current' TM30 to any business with Jomtien...that includes 90 day reporting - but you do it on line anyway so you would not need to physically interact with the Jomtien office. If you wish to be completely within the rules your wife should submit a new TM30 and you should get a new TM30 receipt stapled into your passport.

In this case the reminder is not wrong.....well, it is wrong in that the system is not joined up and the reminder should not have been sent because of his recent arrival. The system will send the remainder 16 days before the reporting date it has on file. Reentry to Thailand is not picked up on the system and therefore the reporting date does not get changed.

Not the one's that I bar fine.......

It is NOT the airport.

...... a sarcasm emoticon.............that's what we need. Just for those who might be unsure

If you need advice for that.....then you shouldn't be going out to bars...

30 Days at Jomtien. An agent can do it 60 days before.

Looks like you needed it

I normally don't....indeed I don't....just highlighting how these words that are in our subconscious are casually used...

Not too thick to use Google........surely?

Part of the issue is in the wording of your post...kinda sets the tone...... "when posters have lost the argument" ......there shouldn't be arguments; discussions/debates for sure but people shouldn't be looking for arguments (they are). This is a community internet forum - not a court of law.

Whilst I could easily have written that post there is an argument (from a moderation point of view) that you are flaming @ezzra

Not if they have any class.

You can see it, and I can see it.......................why do the idiots keep posting their scaremongering?

Spot on. It is very important to distinguish between the importance on compliance and the nonsense of the 3 month report. It is interesting that they did not give you an appointment slip this year. Have they seen the light?

FFS! Nothing to do with the visa. .....that has long gone. You can enter on a Non-Imm O based on marriage and then extend the permission to stay based on retirement.

You understand that there are many Thais who don't see it that way. Yes, they love Thailand, but they have used their education and skills to carve out a much better standard of living in the UK.

I would say the objective is to get people talking about the subject matter - Success.

It has served it's purpose....... you watched it - and went to the trouble of commenting on it. I would say that is objective achieved.
