Gday This is the crux for my pension is too low to be taxed in Germany. However in Thailand it's a different story. The DTA stipulates that the German government is the tax sovereign if you are registered with a fixed address in the country. Maybe I'm wrong but this appears like a conondrum to me. PS my net pension after deductions of health insurance in Germany is the 525k Wbr Roobaa01

Gday Another aspect pertaining the Thai tax horror the Global income taxation like mentioned in the Bangkok post article. There are foreigners who are still a resident of their home country i.e. Germany . German tax law stipulates as long as you maintain a legal address registration as first residence one is subject pay tax by law in Germany. So how would that play out if Thailand amending the law to global income . USA similar. Wbr Roobaa01

Gday Another horror news about Thai taxation . As from the 1.1.2025 anyone having stayed in Thailand for 180 days , would be requested to present a Thai tax no-nif or Thai income tax certificate applying for extension of stay retirement/marriage. Source : mario swiss blogger on YouTube claimed to have been advised by his lawyers. His lawyers were advised by Thai immigration. Wbr Roobaa01

Gday I would not contact my embassy instead to be on the safe side I would approach the consulate. The consulate is closer and advice or documents can be obtained through it. Less hassle than travel all the way to Bangkok. Wbr Roobaa01

@johng You cannot update a fixed term deposit as there is no transaction. The fixed term deposit states clearly the date when it was lodged as well when it matures. When I break the TD it will appear as transaction in the TD passbook . Wbr Roobaa01

Gday Jomtien allows for a fixed term deposit savings passbook with 400k Without update. Wbr Roobaa01

Gday Im of the opinion his wife does not need to be present when by power of attorney a lawyer would act as her proxy. Wbr Roobaa01

Gday In joimtien they would give u list with All requirements in English or Thai . I ask for it every year to make sure I don't miss out on anything. Wbr Roobaa01

Gday I returned on the 31rst January 2024 and filed my TM 30 on the 1.2.2024. Question when do I need to do my 90 day report 30.4.24 ? Wbr Roobaa01

People need also to know that another THB 60.000 is granted if I are married to a Thai national. Thereto I think there is also a THB 100000 threshold for pension . Hence in total then 450000 plus the first THB 150000 income are tax exempt . So to my believe the 600 k. Wbr Roobaa01

It's 4 weeks under consideration not 6 to 8 weeks. No witnesses are requested for renewals, only for the first time. Immigration unfriendly depends how I address them. Frequent traveller multi-reentry does the same. Expenses are higher going to savannahket. It's also time consuming. Wbr Roobaa01

Gday Why all that stress to go to savannaket when having 400 k in the bank ? Marriage extension and multiple reentry permit summing up to the same. Wbr Roobaa01

Gday Under current circumstances I would deposit the THB 800 k in a foreign currency fixed deposit account in USD to earn higher interest. Foreign currency accounts are permissible as long as they are kept at a Thai bank. Wbr Roobaa01

Gday A friend overstayed 12 days on his visa exemption. Expenses arising from that THB 12x500=6000 plus THB 3900 for 30 days extension. Wbr Roobaa 01

Gday Having watched today several tube videos about the new Thai tax lax none advised about tax rebates in Thailand the same applies to the thread over here. Hence who can advise on Thai tax rebate here with Figures? Wbr Roobaa01

Gday Why would I do a non-o multiple entry at savannakhet when having 400 k in a Thai bank acc. does not make sense to me. 12 months extension of stay plus multiple re-entry is cheaper and more efficient. Wbr Roobaa01

Gday Jomtien bank Letter validity 1 day if u go in the afternoon. The bank passbook update the same day . Wbr Roobaa01

Gday When I did my marriage extension jomtien immigration requested to fill in a Thai form by my wife's sister who owns the place we live in. Along with that Thai form the sister's Thai id and her tabian naan. Wbr Roobaa01

Good afternoon Why not using the compo method of money in the bank and income. Wbr Roobaa01

G' day If I calculate a fiktiv Pension income Overseas of thb 490000 annually from Europe I would receive the first then thb 150000 tax free, then tax rebate thb 100000 as pension receiver , another tax rebate THB 120000 for being 65 + , then tax rebate thb 120000 for being married so it comes down to zero right. Hence why would I need to file a tax return? Wbr Roobaa01

Gday I have been consulting a tax expert in Pattaya who advised not to act in any respect this year for tax matters have not been clearly laid out. Thereto no implementation rules exist thus far. Hence I will not apply for any Thai tax I'd no. The main reason I'm not applying I'm still registered with my residency in Germany thus I'm still requested to pay tax in Germany even if staying 14 months in Thailand. Wbr Roobaa01

Gday So if I'm to pay tax in Thailand then I should receive also the benefits as not to pay 15 % source tax on interest income or being allowed to participate in the 30 bath health care scheme ? One question being married to a Thai national what is the tax credit? Wbr Roobaa02

Gday On the THB 400000 income u pay 10 % but I have thresholds or deductibles. U married even reduces your income even further. Like some people wrote already U can take undeclared USD 20000 into the country that's no nearly thb 740000 enough for one year living w/o paying tax on it. Then have money remitted THB 250000 also not taxed. So where is the problem keep the USD 20 k at home sent your missy to the money changer.

Gday I'm on 12 months extension based on retirement. Now I want to take my defacto wife into Thailand. She is 60 yrs old . Is it possible to let her apply as my dependent. I'm German. Or does she need also 800 k. Wbr Roobas01

Gday Yes the clean criminal record check also apply to existing extension holder. Thailand should seek treaty cooperation to obtain info as given that most foreign criminal bike members where from Australia Wbr Roobaa01
