Does it exist now a non O dependent visa for 90 days that can be obtained abroad ? In the past, me and my wife came here with two non O retirement and at the first extension we got one extension as "retirement" and the second one as "dependent"

A friend of mine is in Thailand with annual extension based on a non O retirement visa. Now his wife has arrived from Europe with a non O retirement visa too (obtained abroad) , and they went to Phuket Immigration to ask a "dependent" extension for the wife. At Immigration they have been told that to get the "dependent" extension she should have entered the country with a non O "dependent" visa and not with a non O "retirement" Does what they told her make any sense?

How did you send this document? During the online filing I do not see the possibility to attach documents.

I have been told that in Phuket, for the annual extension based on non-O- retirement dependent for the foreign partner, in addition to the well-known picture of the happy couple at the entrance of the house, now 3 more photographs of the couple inside the house are required. Has anyone had recent experience, in Phuket, on this topic?

Go to the page with the list of the last notifications, expand the line with the name (there is a small lens symbol), at the right bottom of the new page there is the command "export".

Yes, you'll think about it next year

My experience (at Phuket Immigration): - Stamps trasferred with no problem and no cost, they only asked me a complete copy of old passport and first page of the new one. - 90 days online did not work, had to do it in person at the drive in counter, five minutes. - I asked about TM30, after consultation they said me that it was better a new one, and I did it online. - Registration for online services (90 days and TM30) unchanged

The smartest person, who has always helped me with my taxes, is a middle-aged man who is in the row of desks that you find in front of you when you enter, in the desk furthest to the left. It seems that he is the one who usually follows the foreigners, try contacting him. I had the TIN for ten years before having to file my first tax return, I do not believe that it is necessary to pay taxes before having a TIN.....

You could have some problem if, before your next renewal, you have a 90 days notification. My 90 days online has been rejected because of a new passport number not yet registered in their file.

In Phuket I use a rental contract between the company that owns the house and myself. The contract is signed by my wife as the director of the company and by me as the tenant. It is the same rental contract that I use for the annual balance of the company.

My technique is slightly different: baguette stored in the freezer, 30 seconds in the microwave and 5 minutes in the oven at 150 degrees, perfect as if freshly baked! In the freezer I always keep a good supply of baguettes, I am in Nai Harn and for me the best are those from Chez Nous, near the lagoon.

Answer a bit late, but could be still interesting for someone. Why don't you give some more information, Google does not tell anything about "Rawai Beach Furniture" or "Teak and More" ?

I am using this on my PC: https://tm30.immigration.go.th/ Last time used ten days ago

Hello, I need to change some air conditioners in my house in Rawai. Any suggestion about some good, expert, honest, etc. person that I could contact not far from my area ?

I have been in a similar situation for many years with a non-O visa for retirement. One visit a year to immigration to renew the annual permit and that's it. Make sure your annual permit expires during a period when you will be in Thailand. Evaluate your tax situation to decide whether to stay more than six months in one country rather than in the other. Of course, if you plan to leave Thailand several times, remember to apply for a multi-entry permit

I get the same SCB warning when I authorize the accessibility to the app Cube ACR connector for recording telephone calls (it tracks which activity is currently on screen) You may got to Accessibility - Installed apps and check if you have something that you could switch off and try to use SCB banking

I did not understand one thing: if I use the Revolut card to pay for something in a shop or hotel where they use a different currency than my account currency, do they apply the "favorable" Revolut exchange rate or the classic Visa circuit exchange rate?

My first recommendation is to remove the images of the street from Vietnam (3.22) and of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (3.34) which is located in Singapore and that have nothing to do with Phuket, the second recommendation is to answer to this question : what is the need for this video?

I will continue to do what I have done for the last 10 years: I pay taxes on my pension in Thailand and save compared to what I would have had to pay in my native country (Italy)

My friend that was exactly in your situation has received the email reminder and went directly to the drive-in where they put a new slip starting from that day. Beyond useless discussions, I think we can conclude that in Phuket until recently the 90 days started from the last extension, now they start from the last notification. A warning for those who have to make the extension to Phuket, and are used to the old system, check your 90 days slip !!!

I renewed my extension at Phuket Immigration on the 5th of March and they fixed in my passport a new 90 days report slip asking me to notify after 90 days starting from the 5th of March. Same thing happened to me in the last ten years (always Phuket). But a friend of mine, that renewed in the middle of March, had the same problem of Livingnthailand. Maybe a recent change in Phuket Immigration policy ?

I suppose it could help to keep your previous earning in a separate frozen account or deposit (possibly frozen from the 31/12/2023) and use this account only for sending money to thailand in the next years. Absolutely no new income should enter in this account.

I usually send the request of RO papers by regular mail, sending the form and the relevant documents to Surat Thani office that is in charge for Phuket area. The certificates arrive, by mail, to my address after a few days. I doubt they can send by email but you may ask. If not, and if you are not in Thailand you could ask to send them to some friend in Thailand, to be later forwarded by your friend by email.

Will be very glad if this info can be helpful for somebody, your Simple Tax Guide is a very commendable work !!! Moreover please note that the following is the form used (at least in Phuket area), to request RO 21 and RO22 : https://www.rd.go.th/region/01/fileadmin/user_upload/pak1doc/roor01-eng-cer/RA01.pdf

The certificate of fiscal residence is called R.O. 22 and can be asked at a local Revenue Office. In my case (Phuket), they help me to fill up the form, to prepare the attachements (copy of all the passport pages to demonstrate how long I have been in Thailand) and give instruction to send that to Surat Thani office that will issue it and send to my address in a couple of days. I do not think it is necessary to file a tax declaration for getting the R.O. 22, this certification has no correlation with the tax payment, simply states that you have been here for 180 or more and so you are considered a tax resident. The first time that I got it I did not present any PND91, at present I am askingRO-22.pdf it every year but I am paying my taxes. An other interesting document that can be usefull is the R.O. 21, that states your declared income and how much did you pay for tax during the year. Here attached are two samples of RO 22 and RO 21 RO21.pdf
