Expats in Thailand urged not to worry about negative income tax

From the OP..."

I would like to get a pink ID card and a yellow book.

What do I need to do and what do I need to get in advance?

 

The OP is not asking re usefulness of pink ID etc.

How many times in one lifetime would you need one?  Just to renew driving L every 5 years and when you buy a vehicle.  Hardly a yearly issue. I have had to get two in 8 years and my agent got them for 1,000 Baht a time.  

Topic is the procedure to obtain a TB and ID card, not what it's useful for, but just to put your post into prospective.

In the last 8 years, I've purchased 3 motorcycles, 2 vehicles, 3 driving licences, open two bank accounts and more, all with a YB and ID card.
No agents - no fees!

I am told that you can only do the lump sum and continue health if you work for less than 15 years, after that it is pension and no option for health?

 

I'm not knowledgeable about that item. Suggestions:

If you tell the Revenue Office that you have a yellow/book/pink card when applying for a TIN, they will use that number for your TIN.

 

They also may not.
