 Not true !

No new law, only proposed taxes on funds earned in country. Bill not even written, let alone voted on.

@Ken *****
 new tax law will be for funds generated in Thailand, not from abroad .

It's not law, or even proposed,

its rumor.

Everyone is panicking over rumor.

What is the history and significance of the 800,000 baht requirement for retirement visas in Thailand?

@Marty ********
 they ( US Consul ) stopped income letters years ago.

I have been on a retirement visa 21 years based solely on income.

Never nested funds.

Things have changed, for others, not those that have been here a bit.

Do retirees in Thailand automatically become tax residents after staying more than 180 days?

@Will ***********
 just renewed ( extended ) visa...no such thing exists. The extent with which Thailand can access your finances is that generated in Thailand. And confirm those funds from abroad to the extent required for visa, be it the nested or the monthly income from abroad.

* Who starts these rumors !

@Braulio ********
 The 800k baht is an option.

The most prevalent means is to show proof of a monthly income of at least 65k baht from a foreign source.

Most have pension checks DD to a Thai bank, the funds are noted as DD from Foreign ( FTT ) transfer monthly.
