@Tim ********

thanks Tim, I understand that. But, what I was saying is that the funds that I transfer to Thailand is not something that I have earned last year or this year. I’ve been retired for 4 years, hence I don’t have an income from employment.The funds comprise of investment returns and funds from my self managed super fund etc … which have already been taxed and accumulated for decades.

So, are you saying that they would be interested in reviewing my tax returns for the last 20+ years?

If that’s the case, I think they’d have to employ half of the country as auditors of Falangs.

In addition, the funds you transfer into Thailand 🇹🇭 (180 days plus stay) has in most cases been taxed in your home country, hence the DTAs.

Also, as some of you state, if the tax you paid in your home country is less than in Thailand, some of you state that you are then liable to pay tax in Thailand for the difference.

How on earth would the Thai tax department know how much tax one has paid in their home country if the funds are coming from a savings account? Obviously sums in there, originate from other sources over decades… I repeat decades. Of which tax has obviously already been paid.

Why don’t you get a proper visa?

Why don’t you get a proper visa and play by the rules?

Why do you post this being in Thailand?

Thank you 🙏

@Nongnuch *******

thank you 🙏 I wasn’t aware of that. My intention is to apply for it in my home country. However, if I had an overstay in my history, I believe that would impact my prospects of getting a 12 month extension to the Non O in Thailand 🇹🇭?

@Greet ***************

so did I earlier in the year. I then bought a brand new ticket (as it would have cost me more to change my initial ticket) to get home.

Reason being that I wouldn’t have been eligible to apply for a non O visa with an overstay history…

Another option is to buy a tourist SIM and just keep topping it up to keep the same number.

What is CIQ?
