Absolutely poppycock! I know many people have obtained LTR without agent. I've been living in Thailand over 15 years, never once used an agent

A few of these documents will pull it up! 😆

17,000 baht for a three month stamp? 🤣. Sounds like a scammer to me!

@Miles ******

Been the same for the last ten years, except for the addition of health insurance about five years ago. No change since a year ago

Non-OA can only be obtained in your home country. It comes with an insurance requirement, but does not require any money to be transferred into a Thai bank account, plus it is good for two years with one border bounce

It's really comical how people are getting sucked into the bs being pedalled by Thai financial advisors touting for business. The ONLY change to the law does not affect expats, particularly retirees, and yet there's morons saying they'll only stay in the country 179 days so they don't "lose their pensions". Others are saying the tax department haven't yet announced how pensions will be affected by "the new laws" - here's a newsflash, they HAVE already announced it. One thing about Facebook - it's revealed just how many dumb, clueless people there are in the world!

@Chris ***

I think this thread is about transferring money into Thailand, not earning money in Thailand

@Bob *********

Clears WHAT up? What are you struggling with?

@Bob *********

For most western countries pensions are not taxable in Thailand, so they'd be going after zero 🤣

@Glen *******

That part of the tax law hasn't changed. It's been the same since the year dot
