I just wonder who on earth spread the rumour of implementing the change on June 1???

@John *******

first: I don‘t know how much a state pension in UK is in sum. As you live more than 180 days in Thailand you wouldn‘t be taxed in UK anyway no matter how much your pension is. Your pension might be below threshold in UK but if you transfer it to Thailand its probably high enough (above 150‘000 thb) to be taxed.

You can‘t stay here in Thailand anyway if you haven‘t either 800‘000 deposit or a monthly income (pension) of 65‘000 thb.

well then all those official experts at the revenue department are wrong?

@Phil *****

Where did you get this information? I got a completely different answer. Of course retirees who stay here for over 180 days and have income from overseas like pensions, they haven‘t payed tax yet on them and tranfering to Thailand have to pay tax.

Does these 4 days mean that it will be announced in the Gazette on 1st of June?

@Boonlert *****

Be aware that this site is for owners where they register their tenants/guests. You can‘t register yourself without ID card and housebook of the owner.

@Ryan ***********

May I ask what type of phone that is?

@Rene *******

well everywhere I‘ve checked in, they always asked for an ID. And I always gave my Thai drivers licence where my permament address is given, I was told this would be best to do, obviously it wasn‘t the solution either.

Lucky you. Everybody keeps telling me that, they even report from outside their "resident" province while staying at a hotel. I have a permanent tm30 as well. Are you also living in a house or condo in longterm rental status?

@Stuart ********

thanks. I have copies of her ID and tabien baan (its attached on the contract) as I need it in case of yearly extension anyway.
