Non-immig "o" visa + work permit ?


Recommended Posts

The article at ThaiVisa.com regarding "shipping of personal effects to Thailand" says a valid work permit is required to ship personal belongings to Thailand. But what if I have no plans to work since I have a pension to live on? If I were able to acquire a Type "O" "retirement" visa or the "Thai wife/child support" visa, which would be best to use regarding shipment of household goods?  From reading that article it seems the bottom line is getting the work permit but it does not make sense having to work in order to ship household goods as long as I have the income to live on.

Another question that probably belongs elsewhere ..... is it correct that if I did qualify for "duty-free" shipment, that some things such as stereo equipment or computers are subject to high duties? I would assume that duty-free shipment should mean just that .... everything in my container duty-free. I need help here because I have a large collection of stereo equipment and 4 computers (retired programmer + PC nerd?).
