What are the options and costs for retirement visas in Thailand for expats over 50?

@Lester ********

there are agents who circumvent the requirement that you have the required funds, that is up to you but do be aware that this is illegal and if the agency ever gets raided by the police, you will have complications and may be deported. I am not trying to fearmonger, but just want you to be advised. Your decision.

@Ning *****

there is no longer the option in the U.S. to visit the Thai embassy nor mail your passport. All visas are applied for online.

@Galen *****

I think it would be best that you contact your local immigration office since each offices interpret the rules differently.

How to file taxes in Thailand after staying over 180 days, and who monitors your stay?

@James **********

i certainly would like to obey Thai law, but could the Thai government please publish the details now that we are in the 7th month of this new tax interpretation. It is not possible to follow what is unknown.

@Colin ******

yes. But then they would need to search for a tax number and if you filed a return....this would cause an incredible delay in individual processing times. Not really feasible at the airport.

@Colin ******

I think immigrations at airports do not have the time to research tax history; however, I can certainly see this being an issue during a one year visa extension at an immigration office.

I am also skeptical about the implementation. It is ridiculous that we are in July 2024 and the Thai government has yet to establish all the details on their tax policy for 2024.
