Well maybe your wrong because it states EARNED INCOME, which a state pension is not.

@John *********

It's only EARNED INCOME It has been said on here by several experts. So if that is true that means pensions, well at least State pensions wouldn't qualify for taxation. Thoughts please.?

If I thought I might need to cover everything you ask for, I think I'd just stay in my home country.

sorry if you think I'm ignorant. When I used to eat at many street Lockup places, they had numerous dishes on the menus and without getting into the intracasies of Michelin 5* to apply for the DTV visa why would you want to take up years of learning. Just basic Thai dishes is sufficient.

So, if this is correct, pensions, which aren't classed as earned income are not liable for tax. Only thing that could be liable for tax with regard to pensions, may be interest and considering the low interest rates, unless your very wealthy pensioners nothing to be concerned about I reckon.

There's a lot of paranoia on FB regarding rules & regulations on immigration in Thailand. When I went to Thailand first time, flew in from Hong Kong for a week. Second time flew in from Singapore to Phuket for a couple of weeks. Then moved to Thailand and spent the next ten years entering mainly on visa exempts and leaving periodically to go offshore. Only ever got visas three times. Once from Penang, once from Vientiane and last one from the UK.

No big deal in my opinion. You pay for the service. Must be some hard up expats in Thailand if they can't afford around 800 baht a month based on 25,000 baht for a year.

@Erik ******

Well logically how long does it take to learn how to cook Thai food? So your first entry gives you ,180 days. You can then go to immigration and get a 180 day extension. Then you have to leave for five days. Then you can enter again and start the process all over again. South East Asian cuisine is mostly wok cooking, which is fairly simplicity in itself I'd of thought. So I reckon if you can't learn how to cook most Thai dishes in your first 180 days, try another type of education.
