I wouldn't stress mate. Even the tax professionals...have no idea and they even have different opinions amongst themselves of how things will play out, so I'd just sit back and wait for the dust to settle. Many of the fear mongers always commenting have probably already obtained TINs or been turned away so I wouldn't listen to 99% of them as everyone's circumstances are not exactly the same. The funds you're bringing in may not even be considered assessable. If you're here for over 6months do you need to lodge a return if your source of funds are from savings prior to 2023? or if you say sent less than ฿100k for the entire year? Or you're living on money you sent to Thailand years ago, Or your funds come from a pension that is only allowed to be taxed by your home country? Or or or or...

Maybe enter on the UK passports for a holiday

Very happy I upgraded for our long part of the journey with EVA. Super comfortable and much different flying experience for me.

Time to start planning how you can live here full-time

No not exactly, the Australian Government asked for my address on my identification to be correct so they could issue my daughter's 1st Australian passport. Nothing about a pension.

@Bob *********

Exactly, it depends on your own circumstances, you don't know the OP's personal situation.

As I said I needed to do it last month as the Australian government requested I update the address on my licence to reflect my current address, so they could then issue my daughter's 1st passport. I now have her passport because I updated the address on my licence as advised.

@Bob *********

not a waste of time if he needs the address updated to use the licence as an identity document etc. I needed to do exactly that last month.

if pre-existing conditions aren't going to be questioned or cause issues with reimbursement then I may look into the accident insurance if they have decent coverage. Cheers.

Edit;

Actually may not even worry as maximum coverage is only 100k in the event of a claim.

"Maximum payment for medical expenses due to general accident, murder or assault, accident while travelling on a motorcycle, and political violence. There is no limit to the number of incidents or accidents."

@Marty ********

do you need to list pre-existing conditions when applying for accident insurance?
