Australian Aged Pension
This thread is about the Aus OAP. As for me: I’m soon to (hopefully) obtain the OAP hence my appreciation for the useful information posted by members who have already obtained the OAP or who, like me, are hoping to soon obtain the OAP. I notice you dominate the posts on here. Most of them (your posts) are either disputed or ignored, as a number of members have black-listed you. So speaking of simple questions, are you on the OAP now or soon to be on the OAP, which one? -

Change from 800,000 in bank to using income and money in bank
Don’t move to Thailand until you can fulfill 65k baht per month requirement if that is the route you’re taking. It won’t end well. -

Baht strength - How long?
I think you missed the point that most are concerned about. That is, their meagre pension is contracting in value. The purchasing power of their transferred funds is shrinking. Basically, their lifestyle may have to change. -

Any reports of recent ME Non-I O visa (marriage) in region?
Exactly. I had over 400K for years, but used the Non-O-ME to avoid EVER having that done to my wife again. I don't care if they want to abuse me - because I don't give any weight to what some corrupt slime says - but my wife is something else. Then covid hit, and I had to deal with in-country - one in Bangkok - RUDE, deja-vu. Two more up-country - they were "civil," but took literally the entire day both times with our ream of paperwork and dozens of photos, so they could find 4 they "liked" + home visits (those guys were even friendly), another long-drive to go back "after consideration." A trip to Savannakhet + border-bounces was FAR preferable - no stress. Thank GOD I turned 50 and no longer working in Thailand, so can use retirement-based. Much better. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
I agree. An argument lost on many members in the Australian Forum - Old Aged Pension thread, also. Article 18 of the Thai / Australia DTA relies on the "provisions" of Article 19, and Article 19 is about "government service." pensions, not "government pensions" as in, welfare, or benefits as it's known in some European countries. There is a difference. One member posted in the Australia Forum, and I quote, "Forget about Article 19" yet in this Forum, advised another Australian member he would have to pay tax under Article 19 of the DTA. Go figure. Every DTA is different, yet, have a lot of similarities, particularly when it comes to pensions. -

Answer to that problem is, tighten up on foreign ownership. Eg. more tax. Boils down to, current owners will have a declining market, and new builds/ developers a declining market also. There's already a massive oversupply of property in the market in all of the major tourist areas. The Thai's don't want to cause a "market correction." They just want more of a slice of the "market." Get the balance wrong, and, well, the market could tank, but the oversupply was already pushing prices lower anyway, yet, they keep building, and building. -

I agree. Start buying land in Issan, a house, a farm, a shop, a bar etc etc, then all bets are off. Rent, and do not buy, including "company" and one could have a long and comfortable life, retiring early, Thailand. It's nothing new, and well documented. Keep it "real" here and enjoy. Start shifting liquidating assets in Australia and shifting cash here, based on emotion, and you roll the dice.
