Retirement visa - domicile question


Recommended Posts

Quick question ..If I opt for the '800k bt in the bank' retirement visa (RV) do you

1. Have to declare you are domicile in Thai for tax purposes?

2. How often can one move in and out of the country under RV status?

Thanks ...

The use of the word "domicile" makes me think the OP is British.

Domicile is not relevant to taxation of income - only to inheritance tax. Retiring here does not mean you are domiciled in Thailand. Hector will presume your domicile remains unchanged - usually your domicile of birth.

For both Thailand and UK, Thai/UK Residence is determined by number of days spent in the country concerned. Nothing to do with having a retirement visa here. FWIW it's possible to be resident in both countries for tax purposes.

A condition of "retirement" is not to work. If you don't work you don't get income (domestically). If you don't get income why would you need to pay tax?

Easy question !

It depends on the "Tax Treaty" with your country of origin ...

Some income from your country of origin is to be taxed in Thailand, this is my case for all interest I receive in France

Then, once you make a revenue declaration in Thailand, you can eventually get back the withholding taxes (15%) that are taken from the interests (or dividends) issued to you in this country
