Hats for forks?

Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?

I hope that's a dinosaur in your pants.

How far we've come. 58 years later...

Too late?

The burden of proof is upon you. Granted, the chances of being called in for a chat may be slim, and I am not going to speculate as to what method they will use to determine who to call in, but once they do decide, they can make life very difficult for you. For example, they will flag your passport so every immigration officer who enters it into their system will be advised, leading to delays with 90 day reports and extensions of stay and, more importantly, being unable to leave the country until it is cleared. You will be required to account for every deposit made into your Thai bank account(s), both domestic and foreign sourced. Statements from all foreign accounts used to send remittances will be demanded, previously going back to the beginning of the year you were being audited for, but now likely going back to Jan 1st 2024. I have no idea what the penalty will be for not providing this paperwork, but they could very well then decide to treat all remittances, regardless of source, as taxable income and tax you accordingly - along with a fine. They certainly won't clear the flag on your passport until they are satisfied. In my case, even though I was able to supply all documentation proving I was following the law, and so passed the audit with no taxes or fine to pay, I still needed to visit the immigration detention centre in Soi Suan Plu Bangkok to get the immigration computer flag finally removed so that I could make a family trip overseas.
