@David *******

Correct. And every one uses the same narrative

"might"

"could possibly"

"shouldn't"

"probably"

"Wait and see"

It's a joke designed to instil fear into weak expats who will not hesitate to hand over money for this "advice"! 😂

@Lena ******

What's not confusing is you pay 10,000 baht for a five year multiple-entry visa, so you can leave and come back any number of times during that five years and each time get stamped in for 180 days.

@Todd ********

I don't think you're an Aussie so you won't get one! All Aussies over 50 get one! 😂😂😂

@Colin ********

Look it's not just his hair, his appearance is very scruffy and unkempt. For me, it doesn't instill any confidence. And the greasy looking lawyer - well, yeah, let's all trust lawyers huh? "Helping" with tax affairs? Don't you mean charging a high fee by being ambiguous and coercing? 😂

@Todd ********

Yeah but for those retirees who travel a lot, there's no extensions required, you just bounce in and out whenever you travel. It all depends on the individual's situation. I only bring in money from a closed super account so I pay zero tax anyway, I don't need any further tax incentives in Thailand, and I'm sure there's many others. I certainly will never be buying any property in Thailand. I pump my money into Australian real estate which offers fabulous rental and capital returns. A week's rent from just one of my negatively-geared properties pays for six weeks rent here. Anyone can buy fast track at the airport for a few dollars, although I just flash my Aussie Government Seniors Card and get guided to the priority lane! The LTR might suit some, but for me, there's no competition - the DTV wins on all counts!

@Todd ********

It's not a case of "not qualifying". The LTR criteria is easy to meet, it's only $80k "passive" per annum. The perks given to LTR holders are meaningless for many, so why spend 50k on a visa, when 10k will pull it up? There are no "renewals" with the DTV - it's a five year visa with multiple entries.

@Colin ********

My feelings exactly every time this twat steps up. Does no-one look at the actual legislation, or are they all sucked in by the "experts" 😂😂😂😂

@Colin ********

Surely you haven't been played by this "tax expert" touting for business, and a YouTube "star" that looks like he hasn't had a shower or brushed his hair for a week? 😂😂😂

@David *******

I'm not interested in bouncing around Asia. I have trips every year to Australia, Europe (various countries) and occasionally South America. I retain Australian Tax Residency so I don't pay tax in Thailand under the DTA

Forget the LTR - go for the DTV! Much better value and less criteria
