Has anyone been asked about tax filing when renewing a Non-O visa for retirement in Jontien immigration?
Hi anyone been asked in jontien immigration when renewing non o visa retirement about tax filing ?
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around whether individuals renewing their Non-O retirement visa at Jontien immigration are asked about their tax filing status. Most commenters affirm that tax filing is generally irrelevant to the visa process, indicating that long-term residency does not automatically require a tax filing. One user mentions that tax information may only be necessary when leaving the country if one has a business. Overall, there seems to be no direct connection between immigration processes and personal tax filing.

At the moment the only time you may have to show your tax return for the year is when your leaving the country and you have a business.

What does immigration have to do with taxation?

@David ******
they could become the taxation police in the future. Vision this scenario, you go to renew or extend your visa and one of the requirements is last year’s tax return.David *******
@John ********
Another silly scenario. Most retirees are on pensions and have no assessable income so hence no tax return. You really think immigration will start assessing retirees? Somehow I can't see immigration wanting to take on additional tasks to further complicate what they do now, especially when it's not even part of their job description! Try again!David *******
@John ********
Yes I agree, but I can't see how those matters have anything to do with immigration officers carrying out tax assessments on retirees obtaining annual extensions. What is most definitely on the rise is the number of expats spreading bullshit on Facebook! 👍👍John *********
@David ******
crazier things than this have already happened in Thailand. How about, the Prime Minister on the phone with a foreign dignitary and bashing the Thai army, and having an ambiguous border with Cambodia, supplying electricity and internet to Chinese gangs just over the border, the Thai farmer rice scam by Taksin’s sister as Prime Minister, the about face on the Cannabis laws, etc.John *********
When immigration tells you that it is required, then you can take action.

How do I apply for a retirement visa in the uk
Nongnuch ********
@Barry *********
you can apply for the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa through the E-Visa online system of the Royal Thai Embassy London. Once entered Thailand, get a bank account opened and transfer a minimum of 800,000 THB onto it. And as soon as the money has sat in the account for 2 months, you can apply for the 1-year Extension of the Stay Permit based on Retirement

@Barry *********
you apply via the evisa website. Either a Non-O or a Non-OA.Peter *********
OP@Barry *********
you have to apply though thai embassy for a non OA visaNongnuch ********
@Peter ********
the Non-O/A visa is the "Longstay" visa. The "Retirement" visa is the Non-Imm-O visa (without "A"). I do not recommend the O/A visa for people who wish to retire in Thailand because it includes a mandatory Thai private tgia-listed health insurance after the second year. If you start out of a Non-Imm-O visa, you maintain a freedom of choice regarding your health insuranceNongnuch ********

No as it is irrelevant. You can legally live long term in Thailand and never have a tax filing requirement.
