How is the raw data being aggregated to come up with that number? What are receipts, what is the data source, what is the algorithm used? In other countries publishing that sort of info is called transparency. The source of this painting comes from the Thai Authority directly from the Ministry of Tourism and Sportsthe data are provisioned by the BICIS data base of the immigration which also manages the IN-OUT of the Tourists' it is considerable)there is no algorithm only interconnected databases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 2 minutes ago, SPREX said: there is no algorithm only interconnected databases I beg to differ. The raw data in immigration database would have the entry date, the type of visa, possible re-entry permit number, etc. Somehow this is filtered into a single number per country, "number of tourists". What exactly is 1 tourist in that table? Visa waiver entries, entries on TR-visa, VOA, are re-entry permit entries excluded, is non-immigrant included, is there any filtering that leaves out those that just do a quick in-out at airport, etc,etc,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make f.ex. myself be 5 tourists, when I'm here on the PE (elite) visa and entered five times this year and am not a tourist in the definition TAT should use (I've lived in Thailand 12 years on back to back temp permits). The question is what do they classify as a tourist. Actually this data should now be enough to hunt down any large discrepancies between TAT's calculated 'Number of tourists" and the aggregate numbers from immigration. Tempted...

TAT: 6400 Immigration stats.. https://www.immigration.go.th/download/1561019325372.xlsx Oh this is going to be fun. EDIT: Ah noticed that's January. I'll calc the months together. EDIT2: So, I took the 2018 immigration report and picked the number for Brunei from it, total, category 1 (TR visa & co) and category 4 (Waiver): I suppose the "2018P" in TAT means 2018 until July-ish if they compare year-to-year. Summary: it's conceivable TAT's "Number of tourists" is category 1+4, i.e. Those with TR visas and those that come with a visa waiver, summed together. And every arrival counts as a tourist, no matter how many time the single person has entered during the period. I don't think there's any way to filter out those using back to back TR's or waivers to stay here. But to TAT's credit, doesn't seem to be complete <deleted>.

Yes, did, see above. Sorry about the copy-paste error in December for category 4, can't edit anymore. Here's the fixed one. Brunei, 2018. Ok, so now it seems at least the connection between the raw immigration data and TAT "Number of tourist" is clear-ish. As mentioned it's not unique tourists, just the number of entries. Next up could somebody explain what those "receipts" are and where's the raw data? Edited August 7, 2019 by DrTuner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAT's figure is 6400 for 2018P, which seems to be half a year: Add some of the others like elite and yes the 6400 for first half of 2018 looks correct. But again, that's immigration entries - could be multiple per passport. No way to know the unique visitors without access to the actual raw immigration data.

Basically the answer to the OP question, how many expats, as most have to renew their temporary stay permits yearly.

I read this one as foreigners from top25 countries had 57292 extensions (approved?), which would be around 60k expats that aren't using back to back entries but staying in the country with extensions, as most have to be renewed yearly.

Given immigrations continuously tougher stance, you can only wonder if they are happy about the decline or whether they would be happy for even more of us to leave. But is there another factor, Thailand trying to get it's house in order in terms of blocking foreigners who have a criminal records etc., and aiming for retirement foreigners who have a bigger income, rather than 'anybody can live in Thailand? Fair re retirement folks? Edited January 23, 2020 by scorecard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexpotter Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 At the end of June 2020, 83,450 Thai-born people were living in Australia, 61.8 per cent more than the number (51,570) at 30 June 2010. This makes the Thai-born population the twenty-second largest migrant community in Australia, equivalent to 1.1 per cent of Australia's overseas-born population and 0.3 per cent of Australia's total population.
