You do not need a pink card to get a Tax Identification Number.

 You said "also gets you a Tax Filing Number."

 

Certainly sounds like you said a pink id card gets you a 'tax filing number', or Tax Identification Number as it is actually called.

 

I just pointed out that you contrary to what you posted, you do not need a pink id to get a TIN.

For the driving license, the visa status is also important though. If you do what the OP does and promotes here (entering visa exempt), you can only renew for 2 years, not for 5 years as those on a non-immigrant visa/extension. 

It depends what province you live in and what office you use.

One of the most bizarre posts I have read in some time.

You are married to a Thai and opt for this nonsense.

Obtain a non O and subsequent 12 month extension.

Only requires 400k in bank for couple of months and then you can use it.

If anything the pink id would suggest that you have visa options.

 

I agree with you entirely here, I want to change my retirement extensions for the marriage visa, but I am being put off with all the hassle involved and having second thoughts about doing it.

Understandable. Many married folk while able to obtain annual extensions based on marriage opt for based on retirement. 

Can depend to some extent on which immigration office.

For those that can do monthly income method thinking based on retirement a good option.

Keeping 800k in bank tied up (funds in bank method) not nice deal at all.

Everyone is different. While it may seem trivial to some, I would not be happy with the home visit etc.

 

Bit off topic as the OP is doing visa exempt to live in Thailand ongoing when extensions from a non O based on marriage is easy option.

Surprised this old chestnut is still being raised when most currencies have lost 8-9% to the baht in the last year.  That means he is much better off with that 2% gain 😉

 

 

That makes sense, assuming most currencies lose 8-9% to the baht every year.

 

How about the years when the baht loses 8-9% against most currencies?

I don't think so, but I'll bite. The DLT of which province gives an applicant who's in Thailand visa exempt at the time of renewal a 5-year driving license?

I like to stay in thailand less than 180 days. I'm not into thai marriages or thai girlfriend. I only like to chill out and spend money for myself haha. This is the smartest thing to do here
