Afaik they freeze mobile banking only.

Anyway, I am almost completely free of Bangkok Bank now. I leave 2.5k in the bank to avoid charges and leave it as-is so I can return if they ever improve or if other banks turn even worse.

180 days or more defines you as tax resident. That doesn’t imply that you’re due to pay taxes. Currently Thailand only taxes on transmitted income, not worldwide.

If you own a calculator then you can add the days of the OP and you’ll see that she stays way under 180 days.

So go scare little children rather than grown ups with your fake information. 🙄

20 million usd? Where did you get that from?

You have a wild imagination. 🤣

I am on a non-o 90 day. Not retirement at all.

So “retirement visa” is good for people who are to lazy to type and who like to confuse each other.

What is a “retirement visa” really?

@Josh ********
And on which level does your type of comment put you?

Can you write normally or do your limited language capabilities not allow you to write without using swearing and f-words?

Interesting indeed. Even more so because a “retirement visa” doesn’t exist.

You use some arbitrary wording for two completely different things, and then you can’t figure it out.

I’d say “Duh!”

The problem is in the wording and people insisting on using “retirement visa” when Thailand doesn’t have anything called “retirement visa”.

The correct wording is “non-immigrant O visa based on retirement “ and the other thing is a “one year extension of stay based on retirement”. The latter is not even a visa…

Who said it’s “just sitting in a bank”?

Who gave you the idea that you are in any way smarter than the average JD?
