Do you need to leave Thailand every 180 days on a DTV, and for how long?

@Colin ********

that's pretty clear from the horse's mouth

@David *******

yes, that's pretty clear and from a guy from the MFA that was very confident in everything he said, unlike another guy from MFA earlier, who it seemed wasn't 100% sure on the Extension fee. Thanks for the link to the video. It's obviously a great Visa for those who can qualify.

@Colin ********

l have really liked this group. It is great discussion and information. Starting to get a little crap here but for the most part everyone is really supportive

@David *******

it's a pretty good group, but as an Australian, the "Australians in Thailand" group is at least10 times worse for the bad behaviour than this group is. If it weren't for getting some info specifically from an Aussie perspective, I would have left the group a month after I joined. The one Admin there doesn't seem to be at all interested in dealing with bad behaviour, even when requested to. On one occasion, myself and another person tried to pursuade someone from bullying, which didn't stop, so he was reported by two of us. Admin's response was he didn't see the need to say anything. This group has really good Moderators that really know what they're talking about and I'm fairly confident that they won't tolerate much in the way of bad behaviour.

@Colin ********

yeh welcome to Thailand mate. I join with good intentions but leave most because of the crap is not worth the stress. I find l do most things myself it ain't that hard if you are patient the Thai way.

This is correct insofar as only the difference to the taxes charged in the home country has to be paid. International rules apply here, just as they do in America. So if I pay taxes in a high-tax country like Austria, it hardly affects me at all. It is of course correct that the agreements of the home country are taken into account.

Apart from that, in Thailand a multitude of income-reducing expenses can be taken into account (HEALTH INSURANCE and much more) to determine the taxable income.

@Andreas ********

health insurance if it's a thai company your insured with yes , but it's an allowance does not cover big big polices

@Christopher ************

I don't understand what you're always looking for the BUT for. Of course it's Thai insurance if I have a residence permit for more than 180 days in Thailand or generally forever. And the problem mainly affects people who have completely deregistered in their home country and have until now received their pension tax-free, i.e. gross for net. All others are only taken into account to the extent of the respective double taxation agreements, so not really serious.For those who earn little and thought they were in paradise in Thailand, things might be tight. That's why there's all the fuss. Have a nice day.

@Andreas ********

I agree with you Andreas
