Do I need to go to the immigration office for a 90-day report after returning to Thailand on a retirement visa?

Frank **********

a reentry permit only keeps your 90 day visa active to the expiration date. You will have to return before that date or you will have to start over again.

Why is my same-sex marriage extension not accepted by Thai immigration?

How does staying with my son in Thailand on a Non-OA visa affect my TM30 and opening a bank account without a lease?

Frank **********

If you are staying with your son have him do a TM 30 showing that you live with him. Having a Non O visa already should make it easier to get a bank account. Just make sure you get a Certificate of Residency from Immigration when the TM 30 is approved.

Does the new tax residency rule in Thailand affect expats' decision to stay long term?

Frank **********

Everyone just needs to read the Double Tax Agreement between your own country and Thailand. For US Citizens I know for sure Social Security and any other Federal Pensions are not, I repeat not taxable in Thailand.
