correct and I'd add you have to leave every 180 days and it only lasts for 5 years maximum. So if you want to retire here I'd stick to no O.

@Stuart ********

agreed most embassies now refuse to give out confirmation on income letters. I am lucky in that I have a number of passports and with two of them one being Irish, my embassies still do these letters. But yes I agree just put the 800k on your account first. But as I will point out although this is a visa page you will be taxed on remitting those funds to Thailand as of 1st January 2024. Unless you had those savings prior to that date.

@Stuart ********

I'm sorry but the tax issues were an aside to my LTRV visa.

@Stuart ********

I wouldn't bother tbh. I've lived here 6 years. Do not retire to Thailand. Find somewhere else. I'm leaving too. You'll be subject to thai progressive tax system up to 35% of your income.

@Ho *****

k8nda difficult to go too bkk as I live in surin just to ask if they'll cancel my non 0. Bit of a trip if they say no.

What I meant but Europe was not that it was a country but as far as I'm aware all European countries have signed DTA's

@Willem ***

yes like I said some 69 individual DTA's have been signed by individual countries with thailand

@Jim *******

can I get an aussie passport please 🙏

Thai tax rates*

@Jim *******

your special you're an aussie each DTA needs to be look in on an individual basis. For example my tax rate in Zurich is only around 21% but tax tax rates go up to 35%
