I live in Bangkok and on Visa free entry. I want to start retirement visa process. I plan to use an agent.

Is there any downside to using an agent in Jometien?

So far what I understand of the tax obligations is:

1. Stay over 180days in 1 calendar year you become a foreigner tax resident.

2. You have to file tax on any foreign based income as remittance (basically pay tax on any money you bring into Thailand whether it be part or all of your wages, any withdrawals of ATMS etc

3. Your home country may have a dual tax agreement with Thailand which means if you get taxed in your home country then you may beable to get that amount credited to your tax eligibility in Thailand.

4. From reading a few docs and trying to make sense of it...am I right that regardless of a dual tax agreement if you stay over 180days you need to report the remittances and show proof of tax paid in home country etc??

Basically that if you stay over 180days you HAVE to file at least something and the amount will be determine dependent upon dual tax agreement/if youve paid tax in your home country?

Is there anyone that has done this yet?

Hi guys

I have a DTV and my wife has a DTV ,we are planning to enter Thailand next month. Is it necessary to put my 1 year old son on a DTV now or would it be fine if I only put him on the DTV after the first 180 days? I have seen a few posts saying that kids under the age of 3 do not need a visa if they are accompanied by their parents?

If I have a little less than 500,000 baht in my bank account, I only have 488,000 baht and a monthly income of 40,000 baht online and I apply for the soft power Muay Thai, will that be okay? I apply in Vietnam ?

Hello everyone, when applying for the DTV visa, the 500,000 baht must be in a personal account, but can the $2,000 monthly income be justified from my business account?

As I understand the current Phnom Penh Airport will be close soon. The new airport will begin in July 2025.

I’m going in a few days to apply online for my DTV in Bali and have some questions for you all. Thank you!! 🙏

1. When they ask for accommodation name in the address section what should you enter if it’s a house you’re renting (not a hotel or condo)? You can’t leave it blank 🤷‍♀️

2. If asked to show a hotel reservation in Indonesia does it need to be in Jakarta (where the embassy is) or is Bali ok?

3. With the new US passports, I’m not sure if when they ask for the biopage they won’t both sides or just the main page with the majority of info?

4. Did anyone need to show TM30 in addition to lease document for rental home in Thailand?
