Hi Gary. It depends on the investment fund and jurisdiction, with for example dividends and also accounts etc

The 180 day rule to be considered a tax resident is set in stone however it’s about the financial planning then, this is where having a proper qualified and experienced adviser can help do not fall for the ones here who have never advised in proper jurisdictions.

Ask for qualifications and experience.

Happy to help with that.

It’s 180 days during tax or for ease call it calendar year, it’s also cumulative in total not consecutive days.

@Galenus *****

who aren’t a licensed broker or insurer here.

Happy to help I’m an independent qualified financial adviser with clients globally and access to all international insurers

Hi David. Dm me happy to chat and help

Hi Bernie I’m an independent financial adviser from the uk and my advice is look around in the uk there will be some sort of short term insurance that will be better for you. There are very few Thai that will cover you due to your age and more importantly even if you do find one there is a clause in them from outset which is above how much time you’re here. So either use moneysupermarket.com back there or contact someone like swinton a broker and let them find one for you

@Michael ******

Depends on the company you use it’s normally about 4000-5000 baht again also depends which city you go from etc

If you want a new 60 day because you arrived on 14th July the day before then if you do a border run now you will get 60 day stamp. So not extending but effectively a new stamp as technically you’ve left and entered again and as it’s after the 15th July and an Aussie you’ll get 60 days.

So it depends how long you want to be here for? If it’s just upto 30 more then immigration is easier

@Michael *******
