What are the tax residency rules in Thailand regarding the 180-day stay and bank accounts?

Tony **********

You are a tax resident of any country you spend more than ½ the year in... But that doesn't really mean anything other than you are supposed to file your primary taxes in your country of residence and possibly (like in case of USA) file taxes in your home country claiming any tax paid in your tax residence country as a tax credit on your home country taxes.

Is it better to have Social Security direct deposited into a Thai bank account or keep it in a US bank and transfer monthly?

Tony **********

Keep USA bank and transfer to Thai bank as needed. Thai banks only insure for ฿1m (about $33k). Also, rules can change fast here.

What are the tax implications of the 800,000 baht requirement for a Thai retirement visa?

Tony **********

If you do it before July 1, then yes, if you reside in Thailand for the remainder of the year then technically that is money remitted into Thailand and could be taxable. Best to make your move here July 1 or after to avoid the 1st year of remittance.

What are the challenges and considerations for a foreign man wanting to marry a Thai woman and bring her to the UK?

Tony **********

Was there a question here?

Not everyone typecasts people. But fact is that many relationships between Thais and foreigners are in fact transactional. That doesn't take away from the relationship, it is just a cultural difference and acceptance and it doesn't apply to all. It's just one of many forms intercultural relationships can take.
