Will my military disability pension be tax exempt in Thailand if I stay over 180 days on a DTV?

Ken ***********

I feel there are still so many unanswered details which is crazy since we are now in July of the year that these new rules are in affect. How do we act in our best interest on so many unknowns ?

From what I have read, under the tax treaty between Thailand and the U.S., government pensions are not taxable in Thailand. I strongly suggest you consult with a Thai expert to guarantee that is true for your situation.

What are the implications of the new ผ.60 entry stamp for visa-exempt entries in Thailand?

Ken ***********

even under the old rules, you received a 30 day exemption and could get a 30 day extension. So your plan for 50 to 60 day stay would work either way.

Thailand gives a 60 day visa exempt with one hand to increase visitors but Taxes expats if residing 180 days or more with the other to discourage longterm visitors. Hmm. How does this make sense ?

even if they are reported, they only get a small fine and maybe a month or two suspension. There is little consequence to their corruption.
