It still isnt in the royal gazette. That’s why even experts don’t know what to tell us.

Right now: no / almost not.

Reason: the money that one brings into the country is only taxed if it was earned the same year. And who can prove that you haven’t earned the money last year if you get it on an outside account.

Plus: many countries have agreements with T. Look it up on your country’s embassy’s homepage.

Next year. Probably everybody yes.

Because the rule of “same year” will probably be dropped as it is used by many rich Thais to circumvent tax paying.

Let’s hope there will be a “retirement exemption “.

Why 2???

The 30 day extension is done by the local immigration for 1900 baht.

As others have mentioned, get a Pseudoticket for 10 bucks to be sure.

I have post paid because I use the plan for my Apple Watch too.

But I have a cheap 40 GB because I have WiFi in home and in almost all cafe, malls etc.

I don’t know how to use more than 20 a month, even with holidays when the hotel has poor wifi and I use the hotspot for the kids.

Edit: I have a plan that doesn’t exist anymore (i believe). It’s called flexi and I can switch between 2,4,8Mbps and full speed. After the first year of fearing the run out of data, I switched to max and never switched back.

World wide reports of road side assistance say that Toyota is #1 in reliability.

Firstly: call them. Always the best option!!

Loading $ in the app doesn’t add anything to your phone. You need to buy a package within the app!

For the future: Do not buy limited packages!!!!

They always have unlimited packages with reduced speed. We pay about 500 a month for the daughter’s package which is unlimited with 4(?)Mbps. Not sure about the speed (maybe 2), but it’s enough to watch Netflix.

I would do that too.

Much more relaxed to stay on the big high speed roads than going over the hills near khao yai (some would call them mountains, but I grew up just beside the alps, so it’s just hills ;) )

@Craig *********

He uses my first Thai car and I pay the insurance. Is that ok for you?

Why don’t you use the 65k option if you have a problem with the money in bank?

I wouldn’t use an agency as they can only achieve it via bribery. They won’t leave their money in a bank for a year. And what do you do next year? You can’t escape once you’ve gone that route.

Oh! And 10k a month go to the sister in law who has 2 kids to feed but no job.

And it’s not the 800k that is small money, but what you can get out of it, that is not sooo interesting for me.

And good luck to you too, old man (although I’d guess we’re just 3 years apart and I could be older than you) 😂😂

@Osian *******

Right. That’s not the people on a budget with backpacks trying to stay long time ;)
