What interest can you expect from a Thai bank account?

Sean **********

not that I have found.

Krungsri had a promo paying 5% on a FCD foreign currency deposit USD to be specific of $50,000. And must be maintained for six months. it has been explained to me that because it’s a time deposit it does not qualify for the 800,000 deposit for Visa

Do I need to reapply for a non-O visa after my 12-month extension for retirement in Thailand?

Sean **********

does immigration typically ask for 12 months of bank statements?

Is the 800k balance tied to the 90 day report or is it just 90 days after the extension is approved?

I did some traveling so my first 90 day report was approximately 6 months into the extension

How can expats effectively manage tax exposure with new Thai tax rules starting in 2024?

Sean **********

@Roberto ********

just to clarify, are you saying that US pensions are not taxable at all in Thailand? or are you saying that if filing tax return in Thailand; taxes already paid in the US on pension dollars will be credited on the Thailand tax return?

Second question

If you’re only income is pension, does a Thailand tax return need to be filed at all?

What visa options are available for moving to Thailand as the spouse of a Thai citizen?

Sean **********

Bruce, I did not see mentioned previously that the 400 K baht requirement is the only option the first year. Subsequent years it is possible they qualify based on fixed monthly income amount. I believe for marriage visa extension, it’s ฿40,000 per month. You can find this information on the Thai visa website.
