How does someone lie and conceal information making an ATM withdrawal using a foreign bank card? These are not remittances. Remittances are when funds are deposited into Thai bank accounts. In general, using a foreign bank ATM card to withdraw cash locally is not considered a foreign remittance transaction, and therefore may not be subject to taxation.
Asking for a friend, but I understood one often cannot open a Thai bank account without a Non Imm O visa, and one cannot get a Non Imm O visa with funds in a Thai bank account? How are folks getting around this?
