According to which statistics? reliable accuracy?

Thanks for your further responses above. Re: When Thai child reaching the age of 20, the extension will become invalid. The misinterpretation / wrong info can be confusing but I found the most accurate info called Order of The Immigration Bureau No 327/2557 (Not sure if this is most recent update). See the copy - Personally, it is very stupid because how can father & the biological Thai child be separated? Well, that is Thainess. :/

Thanks for useful info above. Actually I have a current one-year extension based on Thai child. When she will reach at the age of 20, I may be prepared to toggle to the retirement visa. From what I see your responses, it looks like the health insurance is not required for Non-O retirement visa. Also, I am trying to figure out whether opting additional OPD insurance is worth or not.

Hi, Question: Does the health insurance In-patient (IPD) and Out-patient (OPD) mandatory for retirement visa? Or can it be without OPD? Appreciate response.

I think this should be your last resort - If your hearing medical issue is complicated, how about learning sign language? My native language is British Sign Language (BSL). To grasp the basic knowledge of it needs about at least 10 lessons (each hourly). If interesting, please PM me.

SurfShark - very friendly & can answer many questions.

Out of curiosity, if we, expats, may be taxed, then will we be entitled to receive any Thai benefits such as Thai state pension, Thai personal tax income, family benefits, disability allowance, and so forth?

My friend, Bard says.... Whether or not it is a good idea to tax expatriates is a complex question with no easy answer. There are both pros and cons to consider. Pros of taxing expatriates: It can generate revenue for the government, which can be used to fund public services and programs. It can discourage people from renouncing their citizenship or residency to avoid paying taxes. It can ensure that all citizens and residents contribute their fair share to the tax burden. Cons of taxing expatriates: It can discourage people from living and working abroad, which can harm the economy. It can be difficult to enforce, as expatriates may be living and working in countries with which the home country does not have tax treaties. It can be unfair to expatriates who are already paying taxes in the country where they live and work. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to tax expatriates is a political one. Each country must weigh the pros and cons and decide what is best for its own citizens and economy. In the case of the United States, the government taxes its citizens and resident aliens worldwide, regardless of where they live or work. This is one of the few countries in the world that does so. The US government argues that this is necessary to ensure that all US citizens contribute their fair share to the tax burden, regardless of where they live. However, many US expats argue that this is unfair, as they are already paying taxes in the country where they live and work. In recent years, there has been some discussion in the US Congress about repealing the expatriation tax, but no concrete action has been taken. It is important to note that the tax rules for expatriates vary widely from country to country. Some countries, such as the United Kingdom and Australia, only tax expatriates on their income from domestic sources. Other countries, such as Germany and Japan, tax expatriates on their worldwide income for a certain number of years after they leave the country. If you are considering becoming an expatriate, it is important to consult with a tax advisor to understand the tax rules of your home country and the country where you plan to live and work.

2. Listen stupid advice 1. Ignore wise advice 3. Be reminded of me as human being.

Yeah, because it is a typical Thai loophole.

Pheu Thai has been touting some ambitious and eye-catching policies ahead of the country’s May 14 election, including giving digital money to all citizens above 16 years old. Should it be 18 years old instead 16 entitling to vote?
