I'm not confused. I'm saying that probably you too actually cannot read and clearly understand the DTA. Have you actually tried to read it? People have so many ideas about what it is...

The "talking to a professional" it's pretty useless in this case because they cannot really tell you much. In process if you engage one of them you'll be spending an awful lot of money for nothing in the end. In practice people are ignoring the whole problem because it's not a problem yet...

Meanwhile "the professionals" are basically scaremongers...

you know the dta's are basically impossible to read even if you're used to legalee writing. I don't know if it's very old or outdated language but the Swedish one both in English and in Swedish is basically unreadable.

And you would have to look at every piece of income because something that is tax free in your country might be taxed here and vice versa.

I really be a tax clarifications for moving money in here is basically meant to catch Thai people investing abroad and bringing it back including the profits. At first they wanted to tax the profit, and now they are happy if the money is just brought back, I'm just saying the same year. But it gets more complicated the more you look into it.

Just such a question bringing some money into Thailand what if I bring in money I earned long time ago but the income of interest which has been taxed stays in the account abroad. Which money are you bringing in? :-D

If you're 50 plus why don't you just look into retirement?

Several options. Non-OA money in your home country Bank., but you need to buy insurance.

Or apply for non-o and 90 day visa for retirement event you arrive in Thailand you open bank account and transfer money and after 2 months you can apply for a one-year extension for retirement reason.

A lot of people do this by themselves.

I'm not sure how either of these will affect any rights money or supplement income or the government money you're currently getting. That is a complicated issue regarding Australia. For example for retirement money from Australia things may matter, but you're not there yet.

never heard of it which is interesting...

Generally if you have everything prepared meticulously you have your one year extension done in one day, taking a few hours from arriving at the immigration office and waiting.

However it is quite often so that there might be some requirements some paper required some procedure to get the paper that makes you have to go and get it somewhere else and come back another day.

After some years you've learned every intricacy of every rule and every requirement and you can more or less nail it!

But expect to learn and possibly come back several times so don't leave it till the last moment.

For example if you need to season the money make sure that you have the right amount of time etc. make sure that the money was transferred in the required way typically wire transfer etc if that's the requirement of that immigration office...
