My wife and I spend all our winters in Thailand. She is Thai and I'd like to take her to Alaska in the summer. As a Canadian I don't need a US visa, but my wife, being Thai with a Thai passport and even with a Canadian Permanent Resident Card still needs a US visa to go there.
Question: If you deposit money 1-2 or more years into Thailand from overseas before you become a permanent resident of Thailand (180+ days) does that money become taxable when you do move into Thailand? I am wondering if it would be beneficial to do this before becoming a resident of Thailand.
