Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
The more I think about, these different departments don't like dealing with each other. In Thailand, every official has their own little kingdom and when head of other little kingdoms encroach upon theirs, there is conflict, partly based on the strict hierarchical social structure but also on Thais' non-confrontational 'rules'. For many years, the Dept of Labour refused to tell the Dept of Immigration if someone handed back their WP, for example. Laziness, shyness, and most importantly, "greng jai", not wanting to put other people 'out' by giving them extra work/headache, etc. Immigration were clever and employee many agents to take the bribes from foreigners, whom they don't particularly like dealing with, especially in areas of 'Thainess'. I could list many more example, like the Special Branch police not wanting to talk to the Ministry of Interior when I became a Thai citizen. This, like many other things was due to the Military govt, and especially the great General Anupong cracking down on police corruption. All departments are corrupt, and have their own rules, so the likelihood of Bank officials liaising with Immigration or Revenue Department is highly unlikely, but... there is an opportunity for them all to make money off the naive foreigners who will eagerly giving in to intimidation or extortion(particularly from the highly corrupt Immigration Police) by any one of the departments, who will use agent scum to do their dirty work. As we see, the foreign charlatans, who are working illegally if giving Thai tax advice and the agents are starting to rise from the bottom of the pond. -

Additional Visa Requirements ?
You don't check that your 90 day report resets. You do that yourself. The window for 90 day report will open 75 days after reentry. Count date of entry day 1. Ignore any message from app to do it earlier. Unfortunately currently since immigration trying to sync TM30 with TM47 you need to do 90 report in person after trip abroad. Previously that wasn't the case.
