The web page to which you have given a link is of little use because it uses "visa" and "extension or stay" interchangeably to mean the same thing. Quite useless, really.

There is no "none O visa extension in your home country"

Well, the official name would probably be be "Non-immigrant visa category O for the purpose of travelling to Thailand for the reason of retirement". Calling it a "retirement visa" would seem an acceptable and comprehensible abbreviation.

Correction Foreigners in Thailand with tax residence in Thailand only have to declare, in Thailand, foreign income that is assessable income in Thailand. Were a DTA exists, this DTA usually says in which country a particular type of income is assessable.

Knowing what type of one-year extension of stay, if any, you have would help in giving you useful advice.

Correction: Because when you are a tax resident, you need to declare assessible income, doesn't matter where you keep the money.

Revenue Department Order 161-2566 - en.pdf Revenue Depatment Order 161-2566 - th a) Your tax expert: "The new rules state that if you spend more than 180 days in Thailand per year..." b) The Revenue Department Order 161/2566 dated 15 September 2023 (RD 161/2566): There is no mention of 180 days. c) Suggestion: Ask your tax expert where he got the 180 days from. a) Your tax expert: "...required to declare all of your foreign income, regardless of when it was earned..." b) RD 161/2566: ..."assessable income under Section 40 of the Revenue Code in the past tax year due to duties or business performed overseas or due to assets located overseas..." c) Suggestion: Ask your tax expert to explain the difference between "all foreign income" and "assessable foreign income", and the difference between "regardless of when it was earned" and "in the past tax year"

That's right. Immigration offices do not issue work permits. They are issued by the Department of Employment at the Ministry of Labour.

Did you believe that "doing 90 days on time" extended your perssion to stay?

Where a doule taxation agreement (DTA) is in place, that DTA says in what country the income is assessed for taxation.

Go to your agent's place on Friday morning and tell her that if she does not return your passport to you immediately you will, for your security, have to report it stolen by her. Then, if you don't get your passport, go to the police and report it stolen and take her to court. This information is given on the basis of the limited information you have provided.

You have to apply for a one-year extension of stay. When you want to travel abroad, you apply for a re-entry permit at your local immigration office before leaving Thailand.

The emphasis is on assessable income. The recent Revenue Department Order No. 161/2566 is about income earned abroad, ie outside Thailand, that is assessable in Thailand. If there is a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) between Thailand and another country and if this DTA states that some income in that other country is assessable in that country, then that income is not assessable in Thailand. That's the purpose of a DTA, and it works both ways. For the record, here is an English translation of the entire text of the Revenue Department Order No. 161/2566 Revenue Department Order 161-2566.pdf And here is a link to the original Thai text of the Order, included in the news article linked to in the OP of this topic: https://www.thaienquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/IMG_3943.jpg

Google Bard should work. https://bard.google.com/?hl=en_GB

I suggest you ask in the Thai Language forum for a translation or use ChatGPT.

I put the Thai text of the Revenue Department Order through a machine translator (Google Bard), corrected some errors with numbers and dates, this is the result: The way I read this, it is not a change in the Revenue Code but a change in the practice of implementing Section 41, paragraph 2 of that law. Does anyone have the text of Section 41, paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Revenue Code?

Where is PT?

At what immigration office is this?

I don't think there is a universal standard. If I knew and told you how it is done in Switzerland, it would not help your friend if he changed his name in Ecuador.
