What are the tax implications of a retirement visa versus a marriage visa for expats in Thailand?

@John ******

😂 My mistake. I thought it must be a continuous 180 days or more per stay.

@Tim ********

they are adding to the discussion, they are telling people not to panic over shit that hasn't happened yet and not to listen to Facebook experts crap.

you make a huge assumption that I know nothing.... What do you know exactly??? I've listended to 2 separate thai tax attorneys utubes, and i've also read the DTA agreement between US and Thailand.... have you read your DTA??? probably not. just spouting nonsense, as it's easy, because you need no facts to just post garbage. the 2 different Thai tax attorneys BOTH say exactly the same thing. if you stay 180 days " you are subject to Thai tax".... there's an ocean of difference between subject to tax, and actually being taxed... and they each go on to say that. Both says you have to read your countries DTA. There are around 86-87 different countries that each have their own DTA, and there are some differences. US and probably ALL say that pensions are EXEMPT. However there are over a dozen types of incomes covered. Most people do not own international companies, or internation airlines, or shipping/frieght companies however. So anyone from the 86-87 different DTA counties that are not very wealthy with huge amount of $$, they're not going to be taxed. Instead of just retyping gossip, please go read your DTA, watch the 2 utubes, actually listen to what they say.... just an idea. or just go ahead and keep taking nonsense. Just as an example, the US GVT states that ALL US citizens, no matter where they live, including overseas residents. "are subject to US tax" however around 35-40% pay no taxes due to being low income. Another percentage of wealthy pay little or no income tax, because the own large companies, and already pay a lot of OTHER taxes, and allowable expenses.

@Anthony ********

sent you a dm

@Anthony ********

welcome to dm me

@Andrew ***

he means that if you know your moving next year (and will be tax resident next year), any money transfered this year to Thailand is not treated as assesable if this year you spent less than 180 days in Thailand.

@Kim ********

Waiting time depends on your Immigration office. I have had both marriage and retirement extions and from my exoerience retirement is much simpler and easy.

@Wayne ****

funny from someone passing themselves off as an expert! 😂😂

its your personal choice if you choose to ignore and take your chances 😊

Many of us have take the time and trouble to consult experts on the matter in order to be better informed and protect our assets and family - it’s your personal chou

@Wayne ****

it's not bullshit, stop burying your head in the sand because you don't like it

@Bob *********

there's no need to speculate. The regulations are perfectly clear

@Bob *********

unfortunately, that is not the way tax treaties work. The intent is generally to prevent dual taxation, but requires that you file in both countries and claim credits as paid in the other. Other factors may apply also
