jdlancaster Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) In brief, I had a work visa 2014-2015, then an education visa until 2nov16 I came back in June of 2017 to study again and left Thailand since September 2017.... I need to prove I was only a tourist (US visa exempt) and not a resident of Thailand from 3nov16 to 30apr2017. I was working in USA and Korea most of that time but vacationed in Thailand in between work orders. I know the law says I'm not a resident... But I'm struggling to get a signed letter from I'm migration officers through contacts in Thailand explaining the law and that I wasn't a resident....

ubonjoe Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 You are not considered a resident here for tax purpose unless you stay a total of 180 days or more in a calendar year. Not sure that immigration could be of any help proving you were not a resident here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlancaster Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Unfortunately it is not for tax purposes... That's not an issue... It is a organizational pay/fraud issue... I gave up residency here when my visa ended and I went back to usa. I need a letter stating tourists coming on a visa exempt entry are not residents of Thailand (should be common sense...but) Should be really obvious when the airline won't even let me board the aircraft without a follow on flight...

Swimman Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I doubt you will be able to obtain such a letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 A consular officer may be able to notarize an afadavit to that effect. Perhaps you can ring them up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
