    So why don't they get legal, get a proper visa and pay their taxes here?

    For exactly the reason I alluded to in the first paragraph of the comment you quoted.

    What's a "proper visa" anyway? And why are you assuming that they can't pay taxes without having a registered Thai business?

    It's somewhat amusing that your vitriolic stance against people that happen to earn income online from abroad has managed to remain intact for at least the last six years.

    Delusion at it's best, billions of dollars from digital nomads. :cheesy:

    If they made so much they could afford to setup a company and be legal.


    Yeah, because people who are good at maximising income tend to seek out opportunities to throw their money and time away, don't they ????

    Only takes 1000 people spending 85k a month to hit the first billion. Easily done, I know numerous people that hit the demographic in question spending triple that figure.

    It will be good for him. Learning about different culture, another language, he'll be better off than staying in cloistered local place.

    No, it won't. He's 5, he's far too young to be removed from his parents and sent off to boarding school.

    Hopefully the OP means they will all move and it will be a day school.

    Oh Hash Brown... how wrong you are. Made way more than my share of mistakes. Especially with women. Cost me almost everything. Regrets, now there's another story. But, I don't live in or dwell on the past. It's all part of the journey. Living a pretty modest life here in Nakon Nowhere. Positive outlook, good health & good friends. Maybe the suggestion might help others before it's too late. Why bother... Well, this is a forum. You know, banter, exchange of ideas, a bit of humour, maybe some sarcasm now & then.

    I guess with 40 posts so far, you'll eventually get the hang of it.


    Great post, but I couldn't help but notice that you have a reputation:posts ratio of 0.8627:1

    If anything served to highlight the lack of justice in the world, it's this.

    Kind Regards

  5. Thailand is not a good plan at present on your budget, and with your visa plans. The baht is very strong, you'd essentially have enough money for rent and electric and nothing else. Also they are really cracking down on usage of tourist visas for long term stays, you'll struggle to drag it out beyond 6 months max, and you would have to travel out of the country at least once.

    I suspect the posts you are reading are from a couple of years back when the baht was weaker and visas were easier.

    Go to Bali - much cheaper right now, and an enormous digital nomad community!

  6. Bank and CRS by any chance?

    If so it's "Reason C". You are not required to provide it simply because Thailand has not yet implemented CRS, they are a signatory but do not expect to implement it until 2022.

    Given they haven't implemented the legislation, they cannot require financial institutions to collect and report TINs, and therefore you do not need to provide it.

    Proof is the fact Thailand isn't on this list http://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-implementation-and-assistance/crs-by-jurisdiction/#d.en.345489

    Worked for me.
