They dont. Just speak English so fast, they will start <deleted>tin their pants, they will forget about the tax

Yuup

You are so very right, my good sir !

Just visit the new branch and they will do it for you. SCB allows you to transfer account to any branch. I have done it several times, so I know first hand.

Which year did you submit?

Good to know, Thanks

I will try to dig in and find out the original text, if some one else has please post it here. It just says "must have an occupation" and that I think is a very big loophole, purposefully created by MOI. Remember, the power to grant citizenship lies with MOI and minister (Anutin) and this process is not subject to judicial review. I will agree with arkady, if asked for WP at oath and you dont have it, simply say that it is with the company HR for info update or any other cheesy excuse. For you, the hard part is now over.

@onthemoon wants the real Thai nationality act in Thai language

That is not a problem, just hold onto your WP

They are afraid , the other woman will steal their Farang husband!

Agreed , my good sir

Yes its a regulation, its mentioned in the Nationality that the Candidate "must have an occupation" Summary here - Under a 2008 amendment, males married to Thai females are now exempted from the requirement to have permanent residence and knowledge of Thai but not from the requirement to have an occupation in Thailand. In order to qualify for the exemption, men with Thai wives must have been legally married for 3 years (1 year if they have a child together). In addition to the qualifications specified in the Act, current ministerial guidelines require the following. You must show evidence that you have a job in Thailand paying a salary of at least 80,000 baht a month (40,000 if married to a Thai) along with tax receipts going back 3 complete calendar years. You need to present a valid work permit and originals or copies of expired work permits, if you have changed jobs within the period. You should be in a house registration book (blue TR14, if a permanent resident, otherwise a yellow TR13).

That is a corporate Branch, they closed their retail banking and ATMs many years ago. So its of no use as such

Thais are obligated to pay tax as well. Its not a matter of mood for Thais. I have a Thai friend whose Krungsri bank account was frozen on non payment of tax. Its fairly easy to catch Thais since all of their transactions, bank accounts are linked to their Thai national ID card.

This thread sure attracts haters, just avoid them and motivate the candidates in the pipeline
