Download and complete the form and take a passport photo, will speed up the process as you avoid one queue

@Gray *****

not the govt, the media now there’s a strange thing which is not unique to Thailand get over it and don’t take as gospel what you read, fact check……

it’s only for long term visas like retirement, so we get a reset once a year when we renew

A visit to immigration for a visa renewal also restarts the clock

the start date of the 60 day visa exemption 🙂

That’s ok then, maybe you can check with the tax office on h

Where did you hear nothing has been decided ? my accountant confirmed that I will be tax resident this year (180 day rule) and as such, am now obliged to submit a tax return in January 2025 under the new rules. I can of course ignore it but as we know potential tax liabilities dont go away ( two certainties in life death and taxes) one should treat it no differently to our home country or other countries where we may have been a tax resident

A tax return is still required to be submitted even though , with the UK DTA it’s unlikely any tax will be payable, provided you have evidence that tax is paid in UK - some will choose to ignore the requirement , which could lead to serious problems down the line , as we know tax authorities can go back years and impose penalties. Seek professional advise and get a tax number , the worry is if immig ask in the future for tax clearance cert before renewing a retirement visa. Could result in a rise in overstayers who can’t normalise their affairs.
