At least two Pattaya agents have posted on their FB pages about this, tik tok and MOTs.

Well, as this thread is about agents not doing something and 2 of them have posted the same it does suggest something is occurring.

Why not, there's a 100 threads on expats paying tax that were only rumours.

[Briggsy]

Please explain "word is" in your subject? At the win motosai at the end of your soi, in the bar, in Foodland?

Rumours should not be spread , wait until tomorrow , for the truth or not,

I can sleep well every night because I have never used agents....

No, it's real.  Getting ready to pay online in March.  Fortunately I don't bring 100% of my money into Thailand and I manage to get by on a modest amount, ahem.

Compared to what it would cost me for a similar lifestyle back in the Old Country with their wagons and ponys and glittery lifestyle of homeless people doing fen on a sidewalk. 🤑

[Lacessit]

I have my 800K in the bank. I don't use agents. Next.

Did you go to the tax office, or did they come to you?

No, like I said Im paying online.

 

Because I believe in paying my own way and not freeloading off anyone.

 

You're free to do the same. 

 

Up to you.

 

Good luck when you try to renew your visa and they ask for proof of tax payments. 👍

I won't be worried until the tax-grifters start posting YouTube videos.

I don't use agents but IF it's really true that two agents have broadcast there is a freeze, it might (unfortunately) be more than a rumor.

Links to the pages and also a REASON for a freeze if it's real would be good.

[Briggsy]

Or it could just as easily be a change in management at Chonburi Immigration. Or something that those two particular agencies do/did.

Why do you think that I am panicking.

 

If you read my post, I already explained that it doesn't affect me.

 

Why post rumours and not facts?

There is also a story in Pattaya mail on the subject. Not really much actual information but they connect it to the ongoing focus on mule accounts.

I won't be paying any tax, as I have about 5-6 years' worth of pre-2024 savings to draw on.

 

You have evidence Immigration is asking for proof of tax payments when foreigners renew their visas?

[Sir Dude]

You could always just do the renewal legally. Can't really complain about changes if you are doing it the illegal cheap-Charlie way... you are at the mercy of the scamming agents and bent immigration officers.

It would be impossible to offer evidence for a policy that might be implemented at any time in the future, upon edict. 

That's the way dictatorships work.

 

Just advising that all law abiding residents of Thailand won't have any problem proving proof of tax payments. 😉

If so these agents need review their marketing techniques, I imagine TikTok is more for

teenage girls, not elderly retirees.
