Anonymous participant I got a tax number ID a few years ago, when I had a student visa, the visa you have is not important,but living here for more than 6 months is.
Anonymous participant Not true, I never heard 7 years ago when I came to Thailand about this word, not in Spanish nor in English. Maybe the word was "invented" 3 decades ago, but it became popular after COVID.
Anonymous participant 212 Yeah I know, I lived here for 8 years before the digital nomad word was invented, and I also pay my taxes in Thailand and have a tax number ID, nothing new to me.
Yeah it seems to not make sense, it would be better to spend the money here in Thailand better than in an absurd border bounce, but we also have western immigration rules in our countries, every country is legitimate to do what they want.
