I understand social security from USA is not taxed? Moving over on a 1 year non o I would need to deposits 800k or show 65k monthly income? Would they tax the 800k$. I can show 65k monthly from Social Security easily. Would that have to be deposited in a Thai bank account?

Thanks

I’m hoping to move to Thailand this September from the usa. My income is more than $65,000 Baht all from Social security. Is my Social Security statement plus us bank account showing those auto deposits going to work for financial requirements? If not how do I proceed?

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but the more I read the more confused I get. Is having your Social security direct deposited into a Thai account better or should I keep it in my US bank and do monthly transfers? Thanks in advance

When using monthly deposits, must the money be sent directly to the Thai bank from the source (example: Social Security or rental income) to prove that it's income, or could I simply send monthly amounts from my US bank account?

Hello everyone.

I am an American. I am planning my retirement and will marry a Thai national soon. My question is, is it possible to have my retirement income deposited into a Thai bank account? Also when I'm eligable, the same for Social security? Is it easy to open a bank account in Thailand, Hua Hin? Any advise or exerience is welcome.

Hi folks, I am a UK Citizen and have lived in Bangkok for over a year. I am having a lot of trouble getting my 'DWP Proof of Life certificate' signed.

So far I have tried the police station, my bank, my pharmacist and even the Tax Office where I pay my taxes, but no one wants to sign it for me.

It doesn't help that it is written in English and the people I have asked are unable to read it.

I have translated it to Thai via Google App Translator, but that does not seem to have helped any.

They have all told me that they are afraid to sign it in case they get into trouble.

It would really be helpful if we could just take it to the British Embassy, but I have heard that they would not sign it for me.

Any assistance or advice anyone could give me would truly be appreciated

Have you heard anything about the fact that if you are an employee, the company you work for remotely from Thailand should pay social security contributions to Thailand?
