Hoping that this is not off topic:

How do the TRD count days n Thailand for Non Resident purposes?

Is it the number of nights in Thailand as UK,(HMCR), does or is here a 'Thai way' of counting days?

I assume it's stamped in to stamped out. Any part of a day counts as a day.

Stamps in your passport. Even 5 minutes still counts as a day.

If your SS is $1800, that would cover the whole 65k monthly remittance, i.e., no Thai tax. In fact, with your TEDA now at 500k, you could transfer another $1160 per month with still no Thai taxable income. Send an extra $3000 per month -- Thai taxes would be $2900. Assuming you're paying more than this in US taxes -- this $2900 would be a one-for-one tax credit against your US taxes. Yes, Forms 1116 and 8833 would need to be filed. But you say you use an accountant, so no big deal.

 

You seem to be the average American. So, as has been said all along, Yanks, already taxed on all our income, won't be financially affected by this new situation (nor most, if worldwide income taxation comes in). Unpack your bags.

Is there a chart somewhere that describes all possible TEDA that I can read and show to others who ask?
