Has the 60-day visa exemption for certain countries in Thailand reverted back to 30 days?

Pete Power i have allready asked revenudepartment and ltr goverment office without answer. For now i just check if someone allready got an answer as i have until april next year before i need it.

Christer Bau But he doesn't need to "exit" Norway to do so.

Norway and Thailand has a very beneficial mutual tax agreement for those who don't remit millions of baht.

@Arild ********

auto correct got me I meant wealthy Pension visa and it removes foreign tax payable. Other LTR are still taxed on foreign income.

@Brad *******

where did i mention work visa. I ask about LTR wealthy pensioner visa..

@Arild ********

then the work visa is not the right choice for you. It has no foreign income tax and a flat 17% tax on Thai sourced income.

For me it would mean my Australian Super payments would be tax free in both countries. I don’t need to divert money from a tax free environment to Australia to get tax credits. I would need to add another 5 or 6 million baht into Thailand if I were to use the 40k usd option for income and I haven’t looked into income splitting with my Thai spouse under that visa.

Plenty of other LTR visas that don’t have Thai tax benefits of the WP visa.

Todd McGowan then you did not read my post. I know LTR visa is tax free but i want to pay tax because the beneficial dual tax agreement between my country and Thailand

Todd McGowan i saved around 170 000 NKR ( usd) a year in less total paid taxes by using the tax agreement between Norway and Thailand, so it absolutely is a good question to get clarified

Marianne Holmen Thank you very much for a very pertinent and informative real world example of implications of the myriad DTA's out there in the world!

Todd McGowan

Because you end up saving money?

Arild is from Norway, like myself.

And we have a very beneficial mutual tax agreement with Thailand.

I'll just use myself as an example.

So I get around 300 000NOK in disability-benefits from the Norwegian government. This is taxed before it's paid out to me.

Now let's say I bring 200 000NOK to Thailand. I pay taxes in Thailand on this amount... which is a negligible amount compared to the taxes already paid in Norway, I might add.

When I then receive the documents from the Thai tax authorities proving I paid taxes on that remitted amount of money... the Norwegian government pays me back all the taxes paid on this amount.

And I end up saving around 50 000NOK a year, which is just under 175 000thb to use a currency we're both familiar with.

So in short, I end up paying 0 in taxes in Norway because the income staying in Norway is so low it's exempt from taxes, and the income I send to Thailand is taxed at a much lower rate and I end up paying like 15k baht because of all the deductibles I am entitled to.
