Can a Non-O visa be extended for a year while staying in Thailand?

Rok ********

i hear they only want to see the insurance cert - what about the dosh 800K business? I think it is a great little strategy as long as you are young and healthy enough so the insurance does not bankrupt you.

Will my savings be taxed in Thailand if I retire there?

Rok ********

one can be a “visa status resident” in few countries but does not need to become also a tax resident (usually by 180 days physical presence). Dual tax residencies can be very expensive to administer, not necessary in additional taxes once the dual tax agreements kick in.

10,000 baht deposit? Usually 500 or 1000 baht and never passport kept in my experience … are you renting a Rolls Royce of motorbikes (whatever that may be).

How do TM30 rules apply when renting accommodation on a tourist visa in Thailand?

Rok ********

You can “report yourself” at the closest immigration office within 24 hours of arrival. Do ensure the landlord is eventually able or willing to provide the blue book and the ID card details as you will certainly need this for long term visa extensions like TVR or Retirement. I am having problems as the managing agent cannot provide.
