Offshore workers

I am in the same boat 28/28, I have been doing it for 18 years with the occasional non O visa to renew drivers licence. I spend over 180 days out of Thailand so am not taxable so I think I shouldn't have a problem to continue with the 30 day visa exempt. Franky, If during any year you have spent more than 180 days in Thailand and haven't payed tax on your income you are breaking the law. This is what they are tying to stop (I think). I am going to continue until I have a problem then I will get a non immigrant O based on marriage if need be.

I've honestly no idea if I have

Plus I've never been paid into a Thai account. Always UK of a Middle East bank

I wouldn't worry about past years , but I would start to worry about this and future years.

First it was just a visa exempt entry crackdown, then it spread to tourist visas. Yesterday they actually denied in the Malaysian border a lot of legit tourist visa holders. They are using some rules that were supposed to start from August 12th.

It is a mess, entry subjected to immigration officer's "discretion" while there are no clear rules! That could mean anything, border and officer lottery basically. I'd avoid Thailand for a couple of months unless you are in the process of getting some other visa.

My dear Timwin, I will concede you dont travel much except in your own imagination, but entry into any country is at an immigration officers discretion, Thailand is no different in this regard
