Suspect? It's fraud pure and simple. I would assume attempting Fraud with immigration would carry a deportation notice. No doubt that immigration are on to the back to back Tourist visas for people living here. People won't be happy until it is completely limited and then having to return to your own country to get another. 100% the end result of all this is that eventually there will be a limitation on the amount of Tourist visas possible.

Yes they also ask for your flight ticket ,I was lucky with that as I work in the offshore industry my company hadn't sent my ticket yet but he spoke to his supervisor and he gave the okay for that so I was not turned away .But if you don't have one you can "hire" a plane ticket from websites costs $10 I think.

 

Yes the visa is free.

This 'Hiring' of tickets is another reason why a lot of this is happening. You don't actually get a ticket as such so that may well not work. Immigration are not idiots although a lot of people assume they are. I've no idea what the penalty would be if and when you get caught but I would assume it's going to be a world of pain as far I am aware it would be attempted fraud.

Oooh! That would be all, due to that I have automatic transfer dates, and yes I want to pay tax. I am actually one of thoose that beleive it will bring me some benefits later on if I might need something.

Thanks for your quick answer.

If your from the UK, then income derived in the UK the tax still needs to be paid there. Of course, I am pretty sure the Thai government would take any tax off of you that you offer them but it doesn't cancel your obligation to pay UK Taxes. You would in effect be paying a double whammy.

I am happy for you that you believe all their figures they have provided.

Can you me show me figures that contradict what TE have posted? Maybe the extra reception area that has been opened at Suarnabhumi to welcome members and speed there transit through the airport wasn't really needed or indeed the plans to operate out of Don Mueng later this year.
Thanks for your interest in the plan.

I also had to check that the "die hards" are now saying negative things about this programme and it might fail again like it has done before.

You shouldn't think too much. 60 new members a month at a minimum of 500,000 bt a member is hardly a failed program.

 "For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, TPC reported a profit of more than Bt195.07 million, up by more than 82 per cent year on year. Members generated more than Bt1.7 billion in revenue for the economy, in addition to their membership fees."
