What are the current requirements for a retirement visa using monthly income in Thailand?

@Luigi **********

Too many cheap entitled foreigners "living" in Thailand. I've been here fifteen years - haven't yet seen one change in the rules for my PROPER visa. 😂😂

Do expats needing to file a tax return in Thailand after staying over 180 days annually?

@Ian *********

By the same token, being deemed a tax resident does not automatically mean a tax return is required. I agree go to tax office (as I did) to get the real free advice (as I did - no tax return required) or pay these tax advisor leeches 10,000 baht to get you a tax ID number which you didn't need! 😂😂

No. Tax return only required if a person has assessable income over a defined amount (same as most countries)

It seems you're in Thailand on free entry stamp (60-days visa exempt). That's not complete opposite of what government says. They say you apply for visa overseas, once you've got the visa you come to Thailand

What is the best time to visit the immigration office in Bangkok for my first 90-day report?

Andy ************

@Matthew ********

That's exactly why I always do it by mail. If you try online and it fails, you've missed the window for mail reporting. It takes a couple of minutes at your local post office and 72 baht in postage for EMS. It's so simple and 100% successful

@Jeremy *******

That's fine. It's whatever suits the individual. I don't mind going annually for the extension, but no way for the meaningless 90-dayer!

@Jeremy *******

Only problem is online sometimes rejects. When that happens you then have to attend CW immigration office. Mail done 15 days before works every time
