I sent the wife to get mine last month, rang up to check it was OK first, they weren't bothered at all, even asked for the reference number so they could confirm it was ready before she attended.
Ring them up and ask.

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.
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.-

"director" is a nice generic term
Used it since my mid 20s and never even once had any second glance. -

he is a good man working hard for the progress and stability of thailand.
if you have any complaints why won't you go back to your home countries and
try to fix things there.eve
you would'nt be in thailand if things were so great in your countries, would'nt you?
Thank you, Scott. I pride myself on taking reassurances regarding the intentions of political leaders from people that can't spell their own surname.-

It kinda takes two sides to have a confrontation. And these days, other than the government itself, there's not much pro-govt campaigning going on.
I would anticipate that the same thing as usually happens would occur. Some "civilians" would "take it upon themselves" to fight the good cause on their behalf out of the "goodness of their hearts".
On the official side, uncle crooner will appeal to the oldies to guilt trip their grandchildren into backing down, which unfortunately given the engrained deference to their elders, plenty of them will fall for.
That doesn't work, there's a trump card that gets rolled out, also with the intention of leveraging those deeply held traditions that get forced into people from about four years old. Though only time will tell if it has the same effect as it has in the past.-

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

I fit the demographic, however came here in my 20s.
The place ain't what it used to be. The negatives were palatable when it was really cheap, but on balance whilst it would probably be fine on half the sum I wouldn't want to be spending a couple of grand a month whilst putting up with garbage, soi dogs, increasingly onerous immigration rules, bad air quality, stupidly dangerous roads, volatile politics, etc etc when I could just move to plenty of other places where I can live for the same, with similar positives (climate) and many less negatives.
If I weren't married with kids here there's no chance I'd be here now - indeed we may well all move away in the next few years, the primary blocker being unsettling the kids at school and my wife's familiarity with Thailand. Placing myself in the shoes of a pending retiree with enough income to live nicely here these days, there are plenty of places I'd prefer to be on a similar budget - most of southern Europe for one.-

I once had an Otto kettle, left it plugged in when not in use. Came home one day to find it had melted all over the worktop.
I'd buy a different brand if I were you! -
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!-

Probably why he's not been done for importation. The meth he had on the premises is enough for the charges he's facing.

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.-

Hate to disagree but there’s a whole generation out there who learned about being well behaved and respectful thru a little harsh treatment..... and you’ll struggle to find many snowflakes in that generation.
And yet they often tend to perpetually moan and complain. Seems somewhat snowflakey to me.

Edit - i'm mistaken, it's not actual fingerprint data that's being sold on the dark web. Yet.
Only a matter of time though... that combined with ID would be very useful to nefarious types https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/yp3nzb/i-replaced-my-fingerprints-with-prosthetics-to-avoid-surveillance-
