this is not a Visa it’s a Visa exemption. If you want to be in Thailand for a long period get a Visa.

Can a retiree with a monthly pension of 180,000 THB obtain a DTV visa in Thailand?

Jim ********

actually if you are in Thailand for 180 days you become a tax resident. Depending when and how the money was earned, if remitted into Thailand it is subject to tax depending on yours country’s DTA with Thailand.

just passing information. I don’t know the person’s financial situation. My pension doesn’t equal $80K. But when my pension is coupled with my investments, I meet the LTR’s requirements.
