A plea for help from someone who has already been through the process of obtaining a BOI LTR Visa for Wealthy Pensioners - would you please explain to me what it means to show evidence your current visa has been canceled. In case the applicant choses to have LTR visa issued at One Stop Center for Visa and Work Permit (OSS) in Bangkok, the applicant will be required to update latest travel information and upload passport pages with all Thai stamps (The file must be scanned both left and right pages per one sheet AND ALL SHEETS MERGED IN ONE PDF FILE), particularly biodata page, current visa which has been cancelled with the remaining permission to stay sufficient to receive LTR Visa* For further information about current visa termination, please contact the immigration office where you got the current visa. As per instructions from the BOI my wife contacted our local immigration office. The immigration office said they were not familiar with / had never done a LTR Visa for Wealthy Pensioners. I would be grateful for your guidance

This forum (topic/1306896) is forging its way into the annals (had to check and make certain it’s spelled with two nn’s) of forum record books by mere volume. A hot topic that touches the lives of all individuals with a connection to Thailand. I am quite thankful this forum exists – though I wish there was not a need for its existence. When threatened herd animals (people) congregate. Apparently this forum acts as a haven for expats to gather for sharing their thoughts and concerns - I would have included sharing of information – but sadly it seems little of that has been forthcoming from the Revenue Department of Thailand. Kudos to those contributors that offer their tax related experience in trying to second guess the best they can. Yes, we are all alone in the dark – though linked together - in a never ending forum. On a personal level – I have an issue related to bringing money into Thailand to pay for medical expenses. Like an old beach ball with a slow leak – I am gradually losing my bounce. Feeling flatter lately - likely stress related. Stressing over potential medical bills post January 1, 2024 – how ironic. losnsol?

A number of online sources advocated bringing funds into Thailand before December 31, 2023 to lessen the impact from Thai tax revisions taking effect on January 1, 2024. Which I did. I now worry that remitting money in 2023 may have subjected me to a tax liability under previously existing Thai tax rules. Rules that state income is assessable (taxable) if brought into Thailand in the same calendar year that the income is received. Guessing I may have an obligation to file a Thai 2023 tax return by March 31, 2024. Online sources are now claiming there is no Thai tax obligation on foreign sourced funds held prior to January 1st 2024. This is all very taxing. Losnsol?

The time I spent teaching Special Education to students with disabilities was intrinsically rewarding - filled with feel good perks. I view my teachers’ pension as extrinsic recognition - a symbolic “gold watch” - awarded upon my retirement for decades of dedicated service. The thought that the Revenue Department of Thailand might covet my “gold watch” disturbs me. As a layperson a Double Tax Agreement (DTA) reads like a twisted treatise on ambiguous rules of taxation and brims with legal doublespeak. Whilst mulling over perplexing verbiage such as “Contracting State” - my mind devolves into a fugue state. I wish I knew a tax guru. A sage capable of deciphering the inane jargon embedded in the Thai-USA Double Tax Agreement (DTA). My basic query (worry) is whether my 401(a) Defined Benefit Plan provided by the Arizona State Retirement System is exempt from taxation by the Revenue Department of Thailand? losnsol?
