There are various modes of transport available. "Best" is relative. Personally, travelling from Europe I always chose to fly. "Several months" is very imprecise. You mentioned that last time you stayed 75 days, which at that time was the maximum uniterrupted stay possible without a visa. For the same period you would now need a tourist visa, on the basis of which immigration will give you permission to stay for 60 days and if desired you can apply at your local immigration office for a 30-day extension of stay.

The forum "Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits" is the wrong place for this topic. As there is no separate forum for Personal Income Tax, I am moving it to > Thailand General Chat > General Topics

CRS would seem to have been the reason why, many years ago, my local tax office in Switzerland called me out of the blue to tell me that I appeared to have omitted to declare the interest paid on my bank account with a US broker and perhaps also the dividends I got paid. After reading on this forum that Thailand recently decided to join this reporting system I am now contemplating whether I should proactively start to declare my Thai bank accounts and the interest payments received in my tax return next year for the year 2023 or wait instead for a phone call from the Swiss tax office similar to the one I got about my US account. I hate to have to make these decisions.

Most likely, the OP used CRS with the meaning of "Common Reporting Standard (taxation; Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) Source: https://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/common-reporting-standard/#:~:text=The Common Reporting Standard (CRS,jurisdictions on an annual basis.

Thank you, Pattaya 57, for pointing this out; it had escaped my attention. As we are now on page four of this interesting topic I'd like to mention that I have never seen any published information about how immigration officials at the departure desks are instructed to handle this and I don't think any such publication exists. Sipping my hot toddy before going to bed (10.25pm in my time zone) I am trying to put myself into the position of an immigration official at a departure desk with two date stamps in front of me, one set to today's date and the other to tomorrow's date, using one or the other to stamp departing passengers' passports depending on the scheduled departure date of their flights. No, I don't think I would like this. The risk of accidentally using the wrong stamp for someone's passport would be too high.

The immigration guidelines are here: https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/9.FOR-RETIREMENT-PURPOSES-50-YEARS-OLD-NON-O.pdf

Perhaps he means this page on the immigration website: https://www.immigration.go.th/en?p=14721

I do not understand your question.

Thank you for the link to that page on the immigration website with the guidelines for the notification with TM.47. The part about "...will be fined 5,000.- THB..." does not reflect correctly the text of section 76 of the Immigration Act, but regardless, the word "arrested" is the operative word and indicates that if the foreigner is arrested and taken to court, it will be the court, not an immigration official, to decide on the fine under section 76. That is why I made the point that the authority of immigration officials to issue a fine for the late submission of the notification is limited to the authority granted to them under section 84, respectively the "criteria for settlement or any conditions as deemed fit" prescribed by the Settlement Committee under the authority of that law.

I see nothing in the Immigration Act that authorises an immigration official to issue a fine "up to 5,000 Baht" for the late submission of the notification of staying longer than 90 days in Thailand. The official's authority to issue fines is covered by section 84 of that law, respectively by the "criteria for settlement or any conditions as deemed fit" prescribed by the Settlement Committee under the authority of that law.

Can you post the line from the fine receipt stating the reason for the fine? It seems to me that immigration abused their authority in this case, fining you despite the fact that you submitted your notification within the prescribed period.

"The rules" require a notification, nothing more and nothing less. The rules do not require an application or anything else that needs approval from immigration.

@bangkok blue You, and everybody else, are kindly requested to stop using the incomprehensible acronym MENO.

Meno is Italian for "less" and all of the following: https://www.google.com/search?q=What+is+MENO%3F&oq=What+is+MENO%3F&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQABiABDIJCAIQABgKGIAEMgcIAxAAGIAEMgcIBBAAGIAEMgcIBRAAGIAEMgcIBhAAGIAEMgkIBxAAGAoYgAQyBwgIEC4YgAQyBwgJEAAYgAQyBwgKEAAYgAQyCQgLEAAYChiABDIHCAwQABiABDIHCA0QABiABDIHCA4QABiABNIBCTEyMDE1ajBqNKgCALACAA&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

My view of this is that the district office had no need to write your passport number or anything else on the back of your KR.2 and KR.3 certificates, but I stand to be corrected if I got this wrong. The marriage certificates are meant to be valid for as long as the two of you remain married, not only until the expiration date of your current passport. If, however, you asked for copies of the certificates for the specific purpose of proving to immigration that your marriage is still valid at this point in time, the district office may have chosen to note your passport number on the back as a favour to the immigration office, which this particular immigration office may even have asked for this to be done.

Thank you for clearing that up. Perhaps it depends on what came first, the assignment of the TIN by the RD or the issuance of the pink ID card. Even if the ID card came first and a TIN was applied for later, eg when taking up employment, the RD may probably assign a different number as TIN if they are not made aware of the ID.

I have fixed it for you. The option "Multiple choice question" was ticked, ie enabled, by mistake. See screenshot below.
