Can I really obtain a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand without opening a local bank account?

Jim ********

I'm not working in country. I'm working remotely. All earnings stay in Australia. Thailand gets 10,000 baht off me for the visa

Remote working. Not working in Thailand. Not remitting money to Thailand. Zero tax.

Just get the DTV! 10,000 baht for five years! Retirement visas are a relic of the past now! Agents will go out of business

Does the 180-day rule for tax implications in Thailand reset each calendar year or is it calculated rolling from time of entry?

Jim ********

No, not at all. The only thing they are changing is the loophole which allowed very rich Thais to keep profits overseas for twelve months before bringing them into Thailand to avoid tax.

It's been that way for many years but expats not earning money here have never paid tax and that's not about to change

Jim ********

It's been 180 days in a calendar year for many many years but never enforced for expats as the cost involved far outweighs anything they'd get back due to the complicated Dual Tax Agreements between countries. Don't worry about counting days, it's never going to happen!

Will I receive a one-year extension on my Non-OA visa if I enter Thailand before its expiration?

Jim ********

No. You'll get a one year stamp from the date of entry, so your new stamp will expire
