@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.

@Tony ********

That's true.

I heard it's two months before and three months after you get the extension. Mind you, beware the Thai taxman, I believe there after your money, retiree or not.

@Edward ********

So I presume you are already paying some sort of tax in the USA? I don't pay any tax in the UK because I don't have enough income to be taxable, but if I moved to Thailand they'd want a lump of my pension.

There'll be a mass exodus of retirees me thinks. I read there isn't even a tax threshold before you pay tax. Maybe that is to fund corruption 😂

@Todd ********

Give it a miss if that's the case.

@Neil ********

400,000 for two people. 800,000 for one person. Ah! well TIT.

Has anyone any info on the rumour that foreign retirees that are staying in Thailand on 'O', or O-A Visas have to pay income tax on their state pension from their own country? I've read conflicting information about this.

@Damo *****

Not very well explained. Multi entry tourist visa gives you 60 days, then apply for 30 day extension = 90 days. Then border run and depending I believe which border you cross, possibly the Thai immigration take a dim view if you cross the border and return the same day. When you do get back into Thailand then you get another 60 day stamp, then apply for a 30 day extension, then another border run and same procedure for your final entry, 60 days + 30 day extension.
