Good afternoon 

I returned to Thailand on the 09072025 arriving at 6.00 hours from Helsinki. At immigration check point I have the officer firstly my old valid German passport containing my 12 months extension til 7.8.25 and re-entry permit , passport valid until 1.2.26. The officer stamped me in 9.7.25 valid stay 7.8.25. Thereupon I gave him my new German passport hinting my old passport would have less than 6 months validity on the 7.8.25. However the officer rejected my request to stamp me also in on my new passport. I was advised to go to my local immigration and that my passport was still valid .Question is that correct?

Good afternoon,

As I understand the op will enter Thailand with two valid passports. Hence we show the immigration officer firstly his old passport with re-entry permit and valid extension of stay. Then he will show his new passport. The officer will stamp him into Thailand on both.

Good morning 

Ok I'm carrying too valid passport but at the time of renewal my old passport would not allow for an extension of stay cause of 6 months validity rule , expiration date 1.2.2026 .

Good day

I entered Thailand with my old passport which is still valid until the

1 rest of February 2026. My old passport was not invalidated in Germany. But as I understand there won't be any issues at immigration.

Thank you for your advice.

It's not an issue, but if agents are unable to use Bangkok Bank you will need to open an account at another bank ie Krungsri, I will then have 3 accounts. My agent Cambodia Travel which many on here use said its an issue for all agents, that will include Maneerat. It will be interesting to here from people who use them if this is the case.

Gdy

Which kungsri branch is Cambodian int using now ?

I'm no tax expert so consult with an expert or attorney but the Revenue Department talks about this certificate being needed when you Leave Thailand not when living in Thailand.  

 

Tax Clearance Certificate

https://www.rd.go.th/english/23518.html

 

I think you mean the "Income Tax Payment Certificate"

This may be needed for claiming a credit if your Double Tax Agreement allows for the tax already paid in Thailand.

Sorry my mistake yes income tax payment certificate for income tax assessment "0", in my country free of charge.

My opinion Thailand is playing ball with OECD rules to receive some comfort from Europe visa policy etc. 

But in reality the join brics countries thus OECD crab can be forgotten about including Thai tax matters.

That is not true there is an allowance for 100K of your pension

Yes I m aware of that but there is also a tax rebate for thb 190000 when 65 plus hence I'm I entitled to

Both tax rebate THB 100 k and THB 190 k= THB 290 k ? Who can clarify plus ?

Donald trump just took the us out of

OECD dies it mean now tax matters are going back for us citizens in Thailand to the old AMI treaty?

I figured out the following general threshold when married on pension older than 65

THB 190000

THB 120000

THB 150000

Total THB 460 k if I stay below that no tax hence why bother to file a return?

They the new TM 6 applies only to Tourists hence I assume the long-term expats are exempted from it ? Extension of stay with 12 months stay and re-entry permit.

Same was said with the ETA only Tourists.

Now is Thailand sovereignty and also bla bla Reports No Investors demand Thai bath.

Good day

Now the new prime ministeress has been installed and as it looks like the investors community is in favor with trust as the THB strengthened. Thereto the THB 10k digital wallet waste to be skipped I think also the income tax matter will be disappear in the drawer and all excitement was a waste .

Good morning 

Pertaining the DTV validity 5 years, what happens if my passport has a remaining validity of only 4 years would receive a 5 year validity sticker?

Just watching Thai daily expat show

explaining the new visa rules . Thus 60 days visa exemption can be extended by 30 days. Hence I can do two entries per year by existing to Cambodia 2 times in a year . Thus given I can obtain accummulated 270 days in Thailand as Tourist. Thus I'm liable to pay income tax as tourist?
