'I'm looking at longer term visas in the region as a fall back for worst case scenario regarding tax liability in Thailand'.

I think that about covers it. If you can think of a country in the region with longer term visas, please let me know. Thanks.

UK pension is linked to cost of living/inflation etc. The pension paid goes up to reflect this in the UK, Europe, USA for example. It never goes up if you live in Thailand. But an advantage of spending some time in the Philippines is that you receive the increases for the time you are there.

I'm not asking for tax advice, I'm wondering about visa availability in the region as a fall back.

Yes, no one knows yet. But I'm looking at alternatives in the region as a fall back.

But the visas are very attractive which is the main point of my post.

Thanks for the response. I've been to Cambodia, it was chilled out, and yes the population is young... personally it doesn't draw me so much, although Siem Reap was ok. Are you in the same position tax wise there, ie 180+ classed as resident and pay tax on foreign income? Thanks.

You don't need one unless you are applying for something, eg Thai driving licence, in which case it's one of the application requirements.
