I am seeking information.

It appears that the Thai government enacted income tax for foreigners effective Jan 2024, including retirees like me. Those of us who live here will be required to file a tax return by March 2025. My French friends have a document from their embassy showing how it will work. Alas, I don’t speak or read French, and even they could make neither head nor tales of the formulas for calculating the tax, let alone how to file a return.

Has the Thai government, or the US embassy, put out any such document? Or any other country that has published one in English?

I can see how this post could easily get hijacked with a lot of tangential comments (opinions), so if that happens I’ll just delete the post. Just the facts, please.

Im over 55 and looking to retire in Jomtiem. My only income will be my savings in Australia and not enough to be taxed in OZ.

My question is will savings be considered earnings and then be taxed in Thailand?

Hello looking for some information on what is the best visa to get for a retired Canadian that would like to stay in Thailand for a year plus without getting a Thai bank account until I settle in a permanent country. I will also be traveling to surrounding countries within the year. Thank you

I am 63 years old, live in the UK and I'm currently in the process of selling my property. My Thai partner lives in Udon Thani Province and I have visited her three times a year (bar Covid years) for the past 17 years. We have never married. My plan is to move to Thailand and live with my partner from this September onwards.

I would like to ask if I am able to apply (in the UK) for a 90 day non-immigrant O Visa on the basis of visiting my girlfriend or should I apply on the basis of visiting a friend. Apologies if tthe question appears somewhat strange but I'd like to get my application right first time.

Assuming I can get the visa, I will then open a bank account, season the required 800,00 THB and apply for the one year extension.

I hope all the above makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

New question?

I am a 70 year old American!

Looking at the consulte General website it appears I have 3 choices of visas: (no plans to work , or study and no Thai family).

Non-Immigrant O-A

Tourist TR single

Tourist TR multiple METV

Is this correct?

Also how do I obtain a Certificate of Entry?

Thanks

As I prepare to enter the Kingdom using an O-A (retirement) visa for the first time, is there anything other than my passport and entry card that I need to show up with flying into BKK (as of now)? Also, is there anything I can do immigration/visa-wise in advance? Online registrations, or the like?

whats the best Visa for me ?

Im in London,looking to return long term to Thailand, 54 years old, Thai Wife, and Child, 14 years.......

Visa for my parents

They plan to move to Thailand in March 2019. Dad will be 52, mom will turn 50 in March 2019 (when they move). What's in that case the best visa for them?

I read about the Non-O-A. But I guess, my mom won't be able to get this visa, because she's not 50 at the time of applying.

Thank you in advance.
