The German DTA dont make things better. For example If someone earns 100.000€ and pays tax in Germany. The person can easy pay another 5-7k € in Thailand on top after tax credit via DTA. Never i will give the RD information about my already taxed foreign world income. So i will not stay longer than 180 days. But i think next step could be to change the 180 days to 90 days and then the transformation is completed...

@Mike Lister maybe its not a "workaround" but in generally Mahanakorn Partners should be a reliable source.

8. An individual who has resided and worked abroad for an extended period and subsequently brings their accumulated savings or income from foreign sources into Thailand is not subject to tax. This exemption applies because the income was earned in tax years when the individual was not residing in Thailand for at least 180 days. https://mahanakornpartners.com/clarifications-on-personal-income-tax-for-foreign-sourced-income-key-questions-and-answers/ I think this is interesting sounds like a new loophole 😂.

Maybe they have a significant reason to approve the 20 Extensions first. We waiting since end July but only for the 5 Year visa...

For me Elite Visa is not expensive because in germany i need a mandatory health insurance and a car that makes living much expensiver then living in BKK with cheaper insurance, no car and a nice condo.

I have same feedback from our Agent. Also i asked TPC directly via email and will post when they reply.

Here is the end of deadline in the Pattaya Mail but the risk of a price increase for the upgrade still seems to exist: https://www.pattayamail.com/latestnews/news/thailand-elite-cancels-visa-change-at-the-last-minute-438274

Maybe they need "equivalent membership type" because they discontinue ESE but granting existing members the same price with a new name. They wrote "equivalent" then the price shouldn't really differ? But nobody knows right... Other question is whether the content of the letter only applies to members or also for applications made before 15 Sept. received?

We submitted Elite Easy Access on the end of July and are waiting for approval. Than our Agent told us we should think about upgrading to the 20 Extension because of the Elite "relaunch". So we are organizing "EASY PEASY" another 20k for upgrade...???? Hopefuly the end of this "deadline scam" is true! Now all the Agents are so silent... Can someone else confirm or post the "no deadline anymore email" from Thailand Elite? ????
