How will the proposed foreign income tax in Thailand affect expats planning to stay longer than 180 days?

Oliver ********

I would stay in Thailand exactly 180 days per year, which isn't much different to now.

@Andi **********

Thanks - I would be interested to hear more details from anyone who has been asked for a tax return, as I'm unsure which of the requirements that would relate to.

Is a 120k nest egg and 17800/year pension sufficient for retiring in Thailand as a UK citizen and working as a diving instructor?

Oliver ********

could be fine for now as long as you've got decent health insurance and are happy living a relatively simple life - whether the maths still works in 10 / 20 / 30 years is another matter (Thailand is still a developing country so it's likely to become much more expensive over time)

How can I obtain a visa for myself and my staff to work in my restaurant in Thailand?

Oliver ********

If you've already opened the restaurant, I recommend you not to post about it online and instead hire an agent to arrange your visas ASAP, quietly.

Also note, you will need 4 Thai staff for each 1 foreign staff and there are various other restrictions that make it difficult to staff a restaurant with foreigners.

What are the latest updates on the Thai DTV visa application process and its requirements?

Oliver ********

no - the way it's described sounds more aligned with financial evidence for tourist visas (i.e. bank account from the country where you apply for the visa is fine) rather than for extensions of stay for retirees (i.e. must keep a deposit in a Thai bank account)

What are the latest updates on the Thai DTV visa application process and its requirements?

Oliver ********

it's better than either of those explanations - it's a visa that's valid for entry anytime within 5 years, which is valid for 180 days from entry, and extendable, by a further 180 days immediately after
