What are the visa options for UK citizens wanting to stay in Thailand longer than 90 days?

Alistair **********

I clicked the link and am not sure what specifically you found from it. As the other comments mentioned there is no such 90day limit rule within 6 months. You also aren't entering on a tourist visa, but via the visa exemption scheme which is now 60days. There are no issues with your planned itinerary.

Not a surprise, their Tourist Visa fees are absolutely nuts too - NZ$300 for single entry, NZ$1,000 for multiple entries.

Can I enter Thailand multiple times on a 6-month multiple entry visa, and how does the tax residency rule work for stays under 180 days?

Alistair **********

If you stay over 180 days in a calendar year then yes you become a tax resident based.

However, if you have a DTA then that can override that. Especially on a tourist visa, you will likely be a tax resident of your home country as well. So will need to read your DTA and work out which country you are deemed a tax resident of.

What are the current rules for entering Thailand on a visa exemption for multiple entries?

Alistair **********

there is no written limit on flying in visa exempt, but immigration officers can and eventually will deny entry to those who abuse the system. Sometimes it's after 4-6months, whilst some make it years before encountering issues.

Is money brought into Thailand taxable if on a retirement visa and not exceeding 180 days?

Alistair **********

it depends on what your specific DTA says. There may be tax exemptions or credits. It also outlines which country you are a tax resident of.

Is money brought into Thailand taxable if on a retirement visa and not exceeding 180 days?

Alistair **********

If you spend less than 180 days here then you aren't a tax resident, so you aren't taxed in Thailand on foreign income.

If you stay over 180 days and are a tax resident, then you should check if there's a DTA as it will help mitigate your tax liability.

Are there really no coin deposit machines in Thailand?

Alistair **********

@Zaher *********

they use to have these coin counting machines at banks, they got rid of them. So clearly it wasn't worthwhile for the banks. There might still be one left at SCBX Park.
