Can an Australian citizen lose their tax residency when living overseas, such as in Thailand?

Robert **********

@Andy ***********

.......it is true. I spent 15 years out of the country. I had to do tax returns for previous years when I returned, not all of them but quite a few. One would have to give up Australian citizenship or die before losing tax residency. Even death may result in tax obligations being passed onto family.

Can I drive in Thailand with just my home country’s driver’s license if I don't have an IDP?

Robert **********

Roadblocks are generally checking road tax is paid. I have never been asked for a IDP, in fact I rarely get asked for anything. Just a courteous nod and waved on.

Will staying for a year on a visa in Thailand affect my tax residency status in Australia?

Robert **********

You don't lose your tax residency status unless you tell the taxation dept you are leaving permanently and settle all your taxation obligations. I left Oz for 15 years but had to catch up with several years tax returns when I went back.

What are the requirements for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand after a gap in status?

Robert **********

.......Nah.....Cambodia is ok. There are far worse places to be. Australia is one. I spent a long time in Cambodia. Quite happy in Thailand these days. Kampot or Phnom Penh would be my choice if I had to go back, or even Koh Kong.

.......I spent covid in Siem Reap except for a short stint in Mondulkiri. Death Valley would be a far better option.
