1 Living permanently in Thailand and receive and remit a pension 2 For the 2024 Thai tax year, I will become a tax resident here at midnight 28 June 3 Prior to that time I am a not a Thai tax resident 4 So pension receipts remitted to Thailand before that time are not assessable income here 5 Such remittances after 28 June are assessable income 6 Allowances of 60 + 190 + 100 = 350,000THB are available for this tax year 7 There is no mention of those allowances being pro-rata for part of the year, so all available 8 The full allowances exceed my expected full aged pension 29 June to 31 December 9 So no Thai tax is payable for 2024 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My Double Tax Agreement says:- “…... pensions and annuities paid to a resident of one of the Contracting States shall be taxable only in that State.” And I read “resident ……” as “Thai tax resident” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Offered in good faith and hope it will be helpful to many

Final post - In Conclusion 1 Thanks UbonJoe as always for answering the question 2 Pity those IT wizards can’t see the fields to be completed on their own form 3 I am now the proud owner of TWO 90day receipts (with different due dates) after a 200km round trip 4 All things were created in 7 days but Thailand is obviously special when they needed 8 days for their confirmation. 5 Immigration say the delay was due to: “Bangkok had a data overload problem on 6 December. They have to get data from all over Thailand you know.” I’m calling BS on that. 6 To all the smarties on here I wish you the best of the Thai Immigration garbage!

Despite posts on this forum about how easy & fast the on-line 90 day report is via https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login It is just more typical Immigration garbage The auto fill form makes no provision to complete:- 1 ”Written at” 2 Cross in the visa type box 3 Arrival Card No (which I do have – no need to tell me it is unnecessary) 4 How on earth do you sign it? Or is the signature space they auto-fill with your written name OK? Checked their instruction video. The very end shows (a very quick flash of) a form with these glitches Tried to check why status is still “pending” into the 3rd day – yes 3rd day for all those lucky people who say theirs is approved in minutes. Called the number on their instruction website 02 141 7881 No Answer Called 1178 Waited forever & gave up Called 1111 Some women with the worst English gave me gibberish and “no I can’t check” and “have to wait for 3 days” I wonder could this delay be part of the latest and greatest crackdown on all those horrible criminal farangs who are wanted but NOT! Any helpful comments on form filling items 1 to 4 for my next attempt appreciated. Othewise this is just info for members who may be affected.
