Is US Social Security taxed in Thailand, and do I need to show 800k or 65k monthly income for a Non-O visa?

@Mike ********

pretty sure this isn’t correct. You become a Thai tax resident once you exceed 180 days in country. The law/guideline is pretty new but just because you pay tax in the US doesn’t mean you’re not potentially responsible to pay income tax in Thailand as well even if you’re not working.

What is the easiest, fastest, and cheapest way to bring my Thai girlfriend to the US to get married?

David *****

@Robert *******

really? It seems that bank, brokerage statements etc should suffice.

But which prenup takes precedent if I have her sign one from the US and one in Thailand but we get married in Thailand? And live in Thailand?

Having said all that, I do have an appointment with attorneys in Thailand this week to speak with them.

@Robert *******

do you need a prenup in your home country as well if the majority of your assets are left abroad? Thx for your advice.

Do U.S. citizens need a visa to travel to Thailand for a couple of months?

David *****

Hope you enjoy your time. Personally I thought Hua hin was too sedate and quiet. A lot of older tourists. My Thai gf is 48 and I think I’m a young 61. We’re considering bkk and pattaya (not bar scene) for retirement. Have fun.

Do I need to report my stay in Thailand if I'm on a marriage visa for 6 months?

@กะลาสี ****

I find this extremely hard to believe. In one place it says 30 days in a month. Plus if you’re gone for 30 days, your benefits are cut off. There are seniors that travel abroad for more time than that all the time. I’d bet 0.0% of them notify social security if that and social security doesn’t know..
