the one everyone us talking about where they are going to tax retirees here. Lots of talk about in the forums.

yep, but the speculation is crazy out there. Wish they'd just give a little guidance one way or the other.

I'm in the same boat. Never even thought about having an outbound because I've never been asked. Worst case scenario, you think you'd bust have to step out of line and get one or would they deny you entry in Thailand and you'd have to go back home, or to a surrounding country. I feel like I've been jinxed for my next trip to Thailand. 😁

what would someone generically sign up under if they don't have a YouTube channel or any job over here? I would opt for that over the Non O RV, but not sure how to qualify. Any ideas?

Someone on here hired an 'immigration lawyer' and got swindled. You don't need them, especially at the rate they charge. Do it yourself or just get an agent. The first is cheaper, the second is easier. Good luck. Either way, you'll be fine.

yep, that's how they did mine, got it 2 days before take-off. Luckily someone on here gave the heads up or I would have been a bit anxious also! 😁

I was relieved after your original comment, but then comes the replies.🤦🏻‍♂️ It's so confusing. But if I'm from the US, retired, and only receiving income from a pension and interest from a high yield savings account, no income from Thailand per say, am I at risk of being taxed here? I've heard both ways. We do have a dual taxation agreement but I've read that the new possible tax law would override that. I know that it is still up in the air, but any clarification on that particular scenario? Thanks.

if it were 800k USD, there wouldn't be very many retirees from overseas in Thailand.😄 Thank goodness it is in Baht.

so you're saying there is misinformation on the internet? 🤔
