It is not possible to apply for the extension of stay without a non immigrant visa entry.

It is the first requirement shown on the list of requirements to apply for an extension. See: https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_22

possible

that is not true. i got my extention on a 30 day visa waiver

Why would anybody already on an extension of stay want to do it that way.

It means applying for a new non immigrant visa entry (2000 baht) and then a new extension during the last 30 days of the 90 day entry from the visa.

YOU do not need a non immigrant visa entry to extend for a retirement extention. you can extent the 30 day visa waiver for free (if your country is eligible for the 30 day waiver).

Are you British ?

 

 

(I only ask because if your avatar represents your home country then it doesn't apply.... you need:-

 

U.S. Consulate will give  you a letter to transfer your visa/extension of stay.

Transfer Visa Ltr.pdf)

 

For Brits:-

 

Immigration will want to see a letter confirming your new passport when you go to transfer the permit/entry stamp. You should automatically be given a letter when collecting the passport.

 

THAN this answer the PO question : better get the extention on the old passport. 

than, when the extention expired, go get your new passport and...no need to transfer the extention.

just get a new one anyway on the new passport (means, get into thailand with a 30 day visa waiver and

get the retirement extention on that new passport - only need to show 800K THB in the bank.

I can't speak for Jomtien, but I doubt it.

 

I would suggest asking HMPO in London for a suitable letter...... explaining that it is a requirement in Thailand. You could perhaps take a copy for them to sign.

what means embassy letter?

A quick follow-up if I may.

 

I will be getting the new passport when I'm in London. I guess I just fly to Thailand with old and new passports, and show both to the IO at Swampy. Then I go to Jomtien with both passports, ask for the stamps to be transferred and get my new retirement extension.

 

Have I got that right, please? Are there any potential hiccups?

AS i mentioned to you, it depands on how many pages you got left in your passport. if there are 2-3 pages, than you better use the old passport. the visa extention is good for jsut one year. so when the year is finished - your old passport is finished too and you can apply for the new passport and get the new stamps on the new passport. this will save you time and hastle, and no need to transfer stamps

MAN, now that's a hard one...let me see...if you have only one page left, than you better get first the new passport. but if you have only two pages, one will suffice for the extention sticker...but than, what will happan if you go out of thailand? than you will need a space for the re-entry permit. still you can use the one page left, but what if you will need to go out of thailand more than once? than the re-entry stamps and the immigration stamps will repel your remaining page. hence the answer to your question should be - go get the passport first, but only if you have less than three pages left !!!

gees, i hope i got it right...

anyway need to know the thai policy on capital gains in capital outside thailand.

and anyway the tax is by residency, not citizenship.

USA and Thailand have a reciprocal tax agreement. If you pay taxes on earnings in USA you will not need to pay taxes on earnings in Thailand whether you bring them into Thailand in the year earned or not

but i am not from USA. my country charge me only for earnings in my country. so i wonder only about the thai law.

Nobody was nailing people for child porn 25 years ago in the USA. So I really doubt that was it.

i didnt say it happaned 25 years ago, and i mentioned it only as an example.

it can be many other things, even tax problems (in the USA).

Been there, done that!

Was and overpaid freelance computer consultant for 30 years, earned lots of money, but not a lot to show for it now - though I do own four houses outright, so I guess I'm better off than most.

 

I'm trying to work out if we as a family would be better off living in Asia or Europe, my wide and Step-son are both doctors, but there is 0 chance of my wife's qualifications being recognized in Europe. Already have their EU residence permits so that's not a problem.  

 

Back in Europe my current income is below the income tax threshold, but here I guess not. The 25k baht a month  from my royalties would more than cover the extra costs of me living here, but not if I lose half to tax. 

 

Restarting the online sales business seems fraught with problems here, unless my wife runs it on my behalf.        

i know few online sales companies in thailand who do very very well. they are owned by foreigners and ...bachelors.

but the decision to live in asia or europe has nothing to do with beurocracy...but a personal preference....

YOU CAN get all the answers by looking at BORDER CONTROL movies at youtube or t.v.

thailand follows and copies the policies and trends you can see on those movies.

so why was your friend allowed once and not this time?

maybe there is something your friend does not tell you, but the USA authorities told the thai authorities.

for example, maybe your friend had a conviction for child porn, and when he came back from thailnd

the USA authorites alerted the thai authorities, and asked them to prevent his entry next time.

usually, thai authorities will not be hard on visitors from USA, unless asked to do so by USA authorities.

Yes, I can see that in Nana, Soi Cowboy, Patpong, or the Thai brothels all over Thailand. Plus 'friendly young man' who offer mothers to 'take care' of 15-year old teenage girls...

THAT'S what i said. YOU see it. i don't see it cause i am not looking for it.

see what i'm saying?

you are dirty that is why you see dirty things.

bangkok is way much bigger than nana, soi cowboy and patpong.

but you are too small to see it.

and about the thai man who offer mother to "take care" of their 15 yo girl - i hope

the police will get you soon and throw you into a cage.

No one offered me $6250USD per month to live and work in Thailand.

people who get 6250 USD per month are busy working hard and not sitting writing posts in thai visa

"No sex, we're English Thai." At least that's what we tell people in front of the cam, while Thailand's sleazy image is well-known around the world. Will Thailand ever have sex shops, selling sex toys or R-rated movies? C'mon, Thailand, it's nice to dote on the past, but this is the 21st, not the 19th century...

thailand sleaze image in only in your sleazy head. thai people are usually conservative and quiet.

why to anger them for some bullshit movie?

I have a similar problem. I'm contemplating a move here from Europe full time as Brexit has killed off half my business, currently I come  for 3-6 months each year.

 

I get my income from rental properties and royalties from the licencing of my designs. The latter isn't a fortune, averaging about $500 per month ( I'm paid by a US company even though I live in Europe) But it's from work I did previously - how would that be classified here? Wouldn't be working unless I took on some new commissions. 

 

I have a Thai wife and could scrape up the cash to put  in the bank if needed, so visa would not be a problem, it's  the tax position I'm  interested in. Intend to to leave the rental income in   European bank to pay for our trips back there.   

legaly, you have to pay taxes in the country where you are tax resident, not where your bank is.

so if you plan to move to thailand, you will have to pay taxes in thailand.

also, thai law is that if you stay in thailand more than 6 months, than you are a tax resident in thailand

and have to pay taxes in thailand on ALL your income ALL over the world.

prectically, if the amount is not so big' like 500 USD amonth, than you can leave it in the

european bank and withdraw the money by ATM in or out of thailand. 

but if the amounts become substantial, say 10's of thousands of dollars each month,

or say you have big amount in a bank, than that bank might give you 

problems when you come to withdraw or the money, and ask you to show "PAPERS",

so best thing to do is - spend it all while you are still young and healthy !!

i think that if you managed to TT the $$ out of thailand, than there was no need to pay tax in thailand.

but you might be asked to pay tax in the country where you TT the money, depands on the law and tax system

in that country.

very stupid and arrogant to film dirty movies in broad daylight in a backpackers street. why to insult thailand like that?

they could go filming this trash in soi cowboy at night, but no, they had to do it in an insulting way,

and they got what they deserve. i hope they will pay huge fines and get kicked out of thialand for 20 years.

and for those who say that thailand has a big sex industry anyway - the biggest and richest 

sex industry is the USA sex industry. that's where all this shit starts.

pattaya was a peacefull fisherman village until it became a R&R place for american soldjers

during vietnam war. so now this stupid indians bring it on in quasan rd. ?

go to hell...or mumbay...not much different.

There is nothing to prevent you from paying taxes here on personal income remitted in the same year earned.  I do not know why you would need a company for this.  Some get tax-id numbers to file returns for refunds on taxes taken from interest-earnings and similar.

 

I also do not know any advantage to doing so in your case, since Thailand will not give you any credit for doing so (no additional visa options, no work-permit, and cannot use the taxes-paid to qualify for citizenship or PR). 

 

Due to the lack of incentives to pay taxes here, I keep this-year's income outside of Thailand, and spend income I earned outside Thailand in previous years (I have to pay the USA, regardless).

I AM NOT a u.s. citizen. tax in my country is much higher than in thailand. so i prefer to pay in thailand.

Depends. If you are signing as a shareholder, you don't need a work permit. If you are signing on behalf of the company as a Director, you need a work permit.

 

 

the bottom line is that thai laws are designed to keep foreigners/ residents  with less rights. even a property can't be properly under your name, no mattar what the lawyers tell you. unlike in the "free world", thai laws are not so definitive and the justice system won't protect investor's right in the moment of truth. your success here depands mostly on your relationships, wisdom, understanding thai culture and of course, sheer luck. in other words, if you obeyed the laws but massed with the wrong people - forget about it.

i saw an add saying "see how older man tighten their skin" so i was wondering...
