Keep at 89 days maximum. Do not count 90 days the way most people do. The way of counting is each day you're in Thailand is counted, NOT the number of nights you spend.

For example : if you get stamped in an hour before midnight, then THAT day is already counted, even if there is only 1 hour left. Same with stamping out an hour after midnight. It's a mistake many people make.

Parking space : depends on the condo AND the unit. Different sizes of units can have different rights.

For a fixed parking space : IF it is on the chanote, then you really own that space.

So you'd have to ask for the particular unit you are inyerested in if there is parking space , for how many vehicles, free parking or fixed parking, and if the fixed parking is on the chanote.

And for the free parking you have to ask which ratio parking spaces/parking rights there is. --> very important. E.g. 70% means that there is a gamble that at any given moment only 70% of the owners are actually using their right to park.(some don't have a car, some are out of town, some units are empty,...) Anyone arriving later that day can't park.

7 day grace period is NOT for submitting online

@David ****

may be true in many or most cases, but even if you have enough money you may need meeet the criteria for wealthy pensioner : to be eligible for WP, it depends on the way you have enough money - just having lots of money isn't enough.

If you are using the immigration office of Bangkok, then you can go 45 days early for the extension.

First you say to get a marriage visa, now you say the best is a DTV ? Makes no sense. The best visa depends on each person. And the "marriage" visa you say they should get comes with its own cons also.

@Roberto ********

"so get a marriage visa" ????? Why would someone ALWAYS need to get a "marriage visa" over a non-O based on over 50 years or LTR type of "retirement" visa ? Doesn't make sense.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each of them, and the choice which one is best or most comfortable depends on each person's personal situation and mindset.

At this moment it is only a draft for an ammendment in the law. Nothing is sure yet. But most importantly : that it would only apply for Thai nationals and not to foreign tax residents is just an assumption. That's how communication and 'news' works : by the time you make an interpretation of something what a news outlet wrote based on what someone expressed it, a lot gets twisted. I'm extremely confident that any amendment in tax law will apply to tax-residents in general, not limited to "Thai only". Even on official websites they use wrong English wording or wrong terminology.

@Jack *****

Common problem. Showing QR code or printed pdf is useless, they have it in front of them in their computer.

But keep the address ready (written or printed) to show them together with your passport, because the immigration officer will want to add it manually.

@Benjamin ********

because until not long ago even on the official site they used the wrong wording ? Because even a few days ago the Bangkok Post used the wrong wording ?

The problem is not tourists not understanding English, but the officials and the Bangkok Post spreading the wrong information because of their poor command of English or whatever.

The Bangkok Post quoted the chief of immigration division :

"..must fill in (..) at least 3 days ahead of their expected arrival in Thailand"
