The article on The Thaiger was pure clickbait. They referred to a "new" retirement visa which is over two years old. There's three other retirement visas, the conditions of which haven't changed for years. If you're thinking of retiring to Thailand, my first piece of advice to you is to ignore the crap being pedalled by The Thaiger. You're welcome

Read the conditions of application. You will definitely lose the application fee for the visa, but you will most probably get a refund for whatever course you are applying for

Anonymous participant 866 Wrong. Perhaps best you stopped giving bad advice! 👍😆

@Andrew *******

Best advice

Anonymous participant 866 There's three in Bangkok. Need to specify which one

If you have a DTV why would you need a visa run? The DTV is five years

Look at the name of this group. I think it's Destination Thailand Visa. Not quite sure what that has to do with non-O retirement! 😆👍

@Greg *******

Had a read of that document. Anyone in any shape or form of relationship can basically get out of paying any tax in Thailand. As you indicate, it would certainly be prudent to be standing next to the friend when the transaction is carried out. As it's up to 10m per year, I guess monthly "gifts" can be made too?

25,000 Baht per month? The base pay for a Thai person is 9,000 Baht per month. Not quite sure what your point is, but carry on! 😂😂😂

Illegally? Come on, this is Thailand! Over half the retirees in Thailand are on "illegal" extensions of stay courtesy of bribes paid to government officials. Come on guys, let's have a look at that 800k baht in your bank accounts! Please don't make me laugh! And do you know it's illegal to export f*ke (oops, I mean replica) handbags, watches, running shoes? Telling me it's "illegal" to not report cash brought into the country has got to be the LOL of the year!
