Only those with assessable income. If what you remit to Thailand is non-assessable, there's no tax to pay

@Frank ********

Exactly. It's dead money. The smart people use the 65k transfer method

@Todd ********

Of course not. But it's still not a 15-month visa. It's a 90-day visa with a 12-month extension of stay

@Brian ********

It is an option

@Jesper ******

Only for the first year on non-O.

@Brian ********

Which is why many on the non-O go for the 65k method. It's a no-brainer

@Bill ********

With bank interest, the tax is deducted at the source, so unless you wish to claim it back, there's no tax issues with bank interest. I'm on the monthly transfer method and that suits me, as my Australian Super Fund pays between 8 and 9 percent per annum tax free, which is around k baht per year. I get a decent health insurance cover for less than that, so that's my bonus

@Tony *********

So it's not a 15-month visa. Ok. I knew there wasn't such a thing

@Robin ******

Actually I don't. I know 90-day, one year, three year and five year.
