Pedang Besar border
Thanks in advance. In UK now, flying to Kuala Lumpur in 2 weeks. Then getting train to Pedang Besar. Now. 2 things. First off should I get tourist visa or does it make any difference?. I was in Thailand 3 weeks December and 5 months from may to October. Does anyone know about Pedang Besar border? Will I have any issues there? I will have 20,000baht and hotel booking and flight out within 60 days. Cheers -

Should income for visa 800K (retired) or 400K (married) not be taxable?
You're almost there. This is covered by your DTA, not paragraph 25, which applies to Thai social security income. Harry receives $3500/month US social security. Let's say he pays $500 in tax and remits $3000/month to Thailand. That remittance is tax exempt by DTA. He doesn't need a tax credit, nor a claim on paragraph 25. Thailand can't touch it. Me? If I collect, I get a measly $1000/month and pay no tax. As that's my only income, I don't even have to file a return. I'll remit it all to Thailand, but I'm not worried. It's exempt. No matter if its not taxed, and I haven't paid tax so would have no foreign tax credit. I'd be over my TEDA for assessable income, but I don't need to file. I don't even need a TIN. And paragraph 25 still wouldn't apply. Thailand still can't touch it. When Trump makes good on his promise to abolish tax on social security benefits, the DTA language will still be there. US social security will remain exempt, not taxed anywhere. And paragraph 25 will still not be applicable. Thailand better not even look at it sideways, or tariffs will rain down bigly! But what of poor Victor V. from the Kingdom of Latveria, which does not have a DTA with Thailand? He receives Latverian social security of $5000/month, but the meanies at the LRD withhold 50% tax. He remits his $2500/month which is fully assessable and taxable by Thailand. Without a DTA he doesn't even get a tax credit. He pays tax. Paragraph 25 does not apply. Works the same for other types of income. My wife has a Schwab account holding mutual funds. As a non-resident she pays no capital gains tax in the US. When she remits her gains to Thailand she pays tax on the gains as ordinary income. Paragraph 23 excluding "Income from sale of investment units in a mutual fund" does not apply. As above, only applies to Thai income. -
