I agree, but in the Area Revenue Office I have been twice, I didn't see one single foreigner. This is what you think, without any evidence for it. I think saying "This is Thailand" is far not the same as calling every employee in a Revenue Office "Somchai" No, of course not! And I didn't say this! I said in my case it was different!

You can disagree, but in your sentences everybody can read how arrogant you talk about Thai people and generalize everybody. I didn't talk in general. I talked about my case and these questions I've been exactly asked, proofed and answered. But I am still not happy and his name was not Somchai

I will, if I will get no answer (what I expect) until 31st March or respectively 9th April You are right, but this would be only a question of the tax refund form. But I also know they will not change only because of foreigners! You are right again, as long as nobody asks in the future about my income, why I did not file yearly tax refunds and have to bring evidences for the past years!

Yes, more than 1 Yes Yes I know, I think they would do.

First of all I would like to tell you that what you wrote here is disrespectful to Thai people. Only my opinion! Not in my case, because I really have no assessable income. My income is exclusively from a state pension. I know that and the tax authorities in my area revenue office know that too. In a 15 minute personal talk in his office the lawyer there also showed me the relevant legal text in the DTA, which I already knew. So in my case it is not a lack of knowledge about their tax rules. I think it's more the lack of guidelines for my specific case. I am not happy with: "Keep records and wait and see"! My attempt to get his name and something in writing was answered by saying that I should ask to the area revenue office in writing. We did this in Thai language a few days later. After 3 months and several inquiries about the status, I received a written reply from the regional revenue office. Unfortunately, this did not help me either, because on a whole page only my personal details were repeated and it was confirmed that especially my income is exempt from tax in Thailand. My main question was, if I can get a TIN and have to file a tax return even though I have no assessable income. I didn't get an written answer to that question, but my area revenue office refused to give me a TIN because I have no assessable income. After I got this letter from the regional revenue office in August 2024, I wrote an email (attached my correspondence with the regional revenue office) to the Revenue Department Bangkok, to get an answer to my main question. No answer. To date I wrote 4 emails at regular intervals, but have not received a single reply!

And what are you doing (like in my case) when your responsible Local Revenue Office told you: Your to Thailand remitted money from your State Pension is in relation to the DTA non assessable income! You don't need a TIN and you don't get a TIN! Bye bye, have a nice day!

She was with me (just in case), but they didn't check anything (name or ID) from her!

Last year I went to a AIS Shop in our Town! After telling my phone number they made a photo of my passport with a tablet and in less than 1 minute everything was done. Now my SIM is in my name!

I would change it! Can be a problem in the future!

Maybe this is the scam!

Every Thai citizen (also your wife) has a Thai TIN, because it's their ID number!

Hi @KhunLA can you please tell something about insurance for the bike? Is a Motorcycle insurance Type 1 possible? Can you say anything about the price for it? Thank You

I agree 100% and this is the official paper in the Royal Gazette from June 16th 2020! Royal Gazette June 16th 2020.pdf

There is a new (not so new) Regulation, which was published in the Thai Government Gazette on 16 June 2020 and it has been effective from 30 June 2020 onwards. https://www.pkfthailand.asia/update-on-relief-for-tm30-filing-requirements/ Maybe Chiang Mai Immigration has their own rules and doesn´t follow it.

After I had already registered my place of residence (TM30) at the Chonburi Immigration Si Racha at the beginning of October, I would like to report on my current experience in applying for and issuing the annual extension (retirement) to my visa: Entered Thailand from Germany on September 1st, 2022 with a non-immigrant O visa (retirement, single), valid until November 29th, 2022. At November 15th, 2022 I arrived at the immigration Si Racha at around 1:50 p.m. and took a number inside the entrance area. When drawing the numbers, a distinction is made as to which requirements (retirement, marriage, etc.) are individually given. After about 5 minutes of waiting, my number was displayed. At the counter I presented the following documents in addition to my passport (TM30 attached): - completed TM7 - 1 photograph - NON-O visa (see above) printed out - Copy of passport photo page - Copy of passport page entry stamp - Copy TM30 - Certificate from the German Consulate Pattaya regarding pension benefits (fee on October 25th, 2022 = €34.07 = 1210 THB) The rental contract that was initially handed over was returned with the remark that it is not required because TM30 was made. After filling out 2 "instruction forms" (e.g. overstay) and paying the fee of 1,900 THB, I was asked to wait. 10 more minutes later I got my passport back. My Extension of Stay (annual extension) was stamped in the passport and is valid until November 29th, 2023. In addition, I found the confirmation of the 90-day report with today's date stapled into my passport (without my doing or presenting a TM47). The next 90-day report by me must therefore be made again on February 12, 2023. After I left the building at 2:15 p.m., the whole process lasted about 25 minutes.
