@Eric *****

yep. That is what I am doing for 2024

@Nigel *******

in 2023 and 2024 I brought in some extra money which will help me in 2025. In 2024 I will only stay in Thailand 179 days to avoid dealing with Thai tax forms.

In 2025 I will be in Thailand a lot so I will use my money that is already in thailand.

Playing by ear for 2026 onwards.

@Eric *****

I would suggest bringing in the 800k thb in a calendar year where you are only in Thailand for 179 days or less. Then you won’t have to file tax forms etc.

@Nigel *******

savings

Which visa are you using?

@Olivia *********

this has changed in 2024 tax year.

@Ken **********

hehe. I ended up wandering around Türkiye, where I lived for a year, and then Eastern Europe again and Northern Europe for the first time. Next up Oman, where I lived for 6 years and Singapore where I lived for 4 years. Then back to Thailand to extend my NonO for another year.

I like your path also I still need to pop over to see da nang at some point.

I will enjoy Thailand for 179 days in 2024. 😀

@Jeff ******

they required no physical and so anything could potentially be denied if they think it was pre-existing. I could have done tons more paperwork and tried to prove I had no majors pre-existing but I figure insurance as an individual buyer is all a crapshoot anyway.
