many pensioners are not OK. All depends on what the dual tax agreement between the country that pays the pension and Thailand says

Will not canceling my work permit cause issues for my DTV visa application in Laos?

Can I obtain a bank letter certifying 400k before the 2-month requirement ends?

John **********

You need to ask for the letter and bank statements after the money has been in your account for 2 calendar months. Normally these can not be any older than 7 days and you need to update your bank book on the day you apply. Some immigration offices want everything on the day you apply so check the policy with your immigration office

Does having a TIN in Thailand make a foreigner a tax resident if they haven't stayed for 180 days?

John **********

If you are not inside Thailand for 180 days or more you are not a Thai tax resident. Having a TIN is irrelevant

Savings accumulated prior to 1st January 2024 are exempt from tax. Savings accumulated after this point will inevitably have an income element so will potentially have a tax liability
