I thought this was all still just a proposal, and people were freaking out because it is not yet clarified. From my understanding, there have been no changes yet to the official tax laws.

I thought this was a proposal, and not yet the actual law. This has yet to be clarified by Thai authorities

@Galenus *****

I think that is what I'm going to do haha 🍻

@Brandon ***********

interesting, I had never heard of this one, thank you

@Jan *****************

thank you for the detailed response! The more I weight all the options, I think splitting my time between multiple countries might make the most sense for me at the moment 🍻

@Beverly *********

oh interesting, thanks for that detail !

@Steve *****

thanks for that clarification 🙏 I think I was confusing the visa exempt and the tourist visa

@Craig ******

No Thai GF. I am strongly considering returning to my semi-nomadic lifestyle until I'm 50+ 😅. There are lots of great options in SEA to spend time, that's for sure

@Brad ******

the longest continuous stretch is 90 days for me. I have some good points of comparison, I have PR and lived in Mexico 4 years. I'm id just like to hear more about options for the money. I know some people form a company for a few thousand usd, sponsor thier own visa, pay someone to do all the maintenance/reporting/accounting and remain in thailand under that premise. If it's the same/cheaper than the Elite visa, I'd go this route, to have a side project, some earning potential, and employ some folks in the process, win-win 🍻

@Rob***

yes my understanding is 800k needs to remain in a Thai bank
