If you pay tax on your income in your home country you won't have to pay tax in Thailand

Interesting question and one that's actually appropriate for me as I live here in Thailand at age 53 earning money off my property investments in Ausjailia which the Ausjailian government are thieving badly these days from which is only going to get worse.

My plan b would be to move me and my girl (very risky in itself) back to Ausjailia to live in Wollongong and get a dog and too part time work for a bit.

Maybe if you do this over a year

Sharlene is a she by the way

@Greg **********

mate are you seriously debating over a petty few days short of 9 months. I think she'll understand that. You can do 2 border runs followed by extensions so what on earth are you talking about. Last year I entered on a setv, did an extension, did a Cambodian border run and then flew in from Malaysia after spending only a week there for 150 day stay and didn't get questioned at all. So what's this you just can't do 2 border runs followed by extension nonsense. He might is actually most likely will.

@Sharlene ******

yes Malaysia be no issue. Not sure what you'll require though to get a setv there or the time frame

@Greg **********

oh and she can get 9 months from a metv is what I was saying

@Greg **********

you clearly didn't understand mate. I never said there was a setv for 6 months. I clearly wrote she'd need 2 extensions and border runs after setv. I know setv stands for single entry tourist visa

@Sharlene ******

only 30. You'll only get 60 with a setv. You could get another setv in a neighbouring country but you'd have to stay obviously in that country for it to be approved

@Sharlene ******

60 day visa/30 day extension/border run/30 day extension/border run in that order for 6 months
