Yes I know I am stupid, but why would you go for a Visa on Arrival when you can now get 60 days by just walking in. Or am I missing something, apart from a brain of course!!!

Thank you Rain dancer, very helpful.

Has the tax implications of the 2024 change of policy been resolved whether foreigners such as myself are concerned. I watched a You Tube presentation last night, in which the Tax Adviser stated that the DTA between Thailand and the UK (I'm UK citizen) will only be applied to pension income arising from Police, Military and Civil Service pensions. Private pensions and State pension would be subject to Thai tax, if income threshold was met by the value of incoming funds from these pensions. Elsewhere there is disagreement and say pensions in general will not be taxed. Meanwhile the Thai Tax Revenue Dept are not offering any indication of what the position of people is. I would like some clarity if possible.

Just been informed I'm not allowed to ask that type of question in Thailand. If so, my apologies.

Continuing my research regarding rental property in Hue Hin does anyone have any info on Terra Villa's please. I've got the good points from the agent, but are there any bad points. Appreciate opinions will be personal

yes I think you are right, Ni mention if Philippines.

Thailand. I called them this morning using a Thai speaker.

Thanks yes. Tricky one this because she intends to travel on her UK passport as a UK citizen. Immigration appear unable to grasp this because she is coming from The Philippines.

Grateful if you could advise if The following is viable: 1. GF obtains a Visa Exempt and is stamped for 60 days. Apparently because she is based in Philipiines she is not eligible to apply for EVisa! 2. During 60 days we marry. 3. Following marriage we travel to a Thai Consulate, probably in Penang since we hope to live in Hua Hin and obtain a Non O 4. Once obtained, she can piggy back as a dependant on me. Many thanks

Change of plans. Having done a lot of research I have come to the conclusion that the infrastructure in Ph is rubbish with constant brown outs almost daily. The cons outweigh the pros.
