@Henrik ****

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! 😁

@Jim *******

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.

@Laurie ****

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

@Craig *******

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

@Peter *******

'Google' has never actually done it, people on here have.

Wow, some people skate right in with very little issue, and others that get it a bit tougher. Sorry, but good luck with it. I know it can be stressful when it's down to the wire like that.

Well, right or wrong, now you see why people use agents...😄

@Tore ********

so the dual taxation would still be in effect? I know it's just speculation, but there is talk that this may override that? Deep down, I don't think the Thai govt will alienate retirees see what I did there 😁), but why let it hang out there for so long with no clarification?

@Damo **********

how does it even get out there for people to speculate on with no clarification? Obviously people are going to assume worst case scenarios. It looks like at the same time they are welcoming tourists and DTVs, they are 'penalizing' retirees living here or wanting to come here long term.

@Mel *****

not sure why they would want to cater to tourists and digital nomads as with the new entry enhancements while also do what looks to be 'penalizing' retirees? I'm thinking of just doing the 179 days or less also. And why leave it hanging out there for so long with no clarifiaction? Obviously people are speculate on worst case scenarios without any factual direction...
