Me too if yours gets too full 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just be streetwise, there's plenty of young legal Thais that will want you to buy them the world.

@Tony *******

Thankyou, I think I got a handle on your reply. I don't pay any tax in the UK because I'm a pensioner and the tax threshold here is £12,500 a year, so if you were liable for tax, it would only be for monies above this figure. Seeing as in Thailand you don't pay tax on 150,000 THB or under, would it be correct that this is a tax threshold, so as I said in previous enquiry, that if you had 400,000 THB per year, you would only be liable for tax on the residue of 250,000 baht?

@John *********

I don't think you understand what I asked. Right, in the UK any income you have regardless of what it is, ie., earnings or private pensions, the first £12,500 is tax free, so if you earned say £30,000 a year, then you would be taxed on £17,500 not on £30,000. So tax free earnings or money from any other source into a Thai bank account because 150,000 THB is tax free threshold. Would that be deducted from 400,000 THB leaving 250,000 THB as the taxable amount.

Funnily I read that the Thai Government considers you resident if you stay in Thailand more than 180 days in any one year

@Sean ********

You can still get the multiple entry 'O' visa, but you have to have, in their opinion a good reason for them to grant it. This is a copy & paste from Thai Embassy, London and is not refernce to retirement.

1. Passport or travel document with validity, not less than 6 months, and at least 2 blank pages

2. Your recent photo (selfie is acceptable)

3 Declaration form

4. Financial evidence showing savings of not less than £10,000 for a multiple entry visa, or a monthly state pension of £650. Please show the most recent statement

5. Proof of residency e.g. council tax bills, driving license

6. Travel history in the last 1 year- please upload a page of your passport with a visa stamp, or a blank page if not travelled in the past year

7. Photo of the applicant holding his/her passport

8. Your flight and accommodation (hotel booking for the first few days will be acceptable) details

please ignore Health Insurance on the E-visa system for all Non - Immigrant visa O

@Sean ********

That doesn't apply if you get the multiple entry 'O' based on retirement I believe. It only applies on a non-immigrant 'O' multiple entry visa obtained in your own country and after obtaining the three month extension, giving you fifteen months, then you have to leave Thailand.

@Gordon ********

Won't accept if your over 70, I believe.
