What is your legal status if you are between 50 and 65 years old?(please, serious answers only)

[returnofthailand]

hello to all.

I would like to know what will be my status with my home country when I turn 50 in Thailand.

I wont be retired because I wont receive any retirement benefits from my state.

I wont be tourist or long term tourist because I will be on a O visa with permit to stay in Thailand.

I wont be a worker, nor a student...

I wont be a resident of Thailand because apparently I need work 3 years in Thailand.

I am not a digital nomad...

So what will I be? what do I write under the occupation, status... question?

this assumption is wrong.

you will for sure be retired, since you are neither working nor looking for a job

[Jingthing]

Well, on my U.S. tax forms, in the same situation for a very long time, I simply put: RETIRED.

You have no legal status in Thailand unless your PR or a citizen

Irrespective of what visa or extension your on, your still a "tourist" in terms of legal status in Thailand

[IMA_FARANG]

just write "human being:.

That will confuse all of them.

As Kris Kriftofferson sings. "Don't let the Bastards get you down".

P.S. send your Christmas cards out to your friends in July.....that confuses the hell out of them.

I guess I should get off my bottom then and sort out citizenship.

Whatever your status would be if you turned 50 in hour home country.

[Pib]

Just because you don't receive a pension doesn't mean you are not retired....it just means your ex-job didn't result in a pension.

[CharlieH]

Status "alien". And always will be, unless you obtain citizenship.

[mgjackson69]

What do you mean by "status"? And which is your home country?

With your home country you are probably just "citizen".

I assumed he meant how I answered before if asked for your current occupation on a form. Retired. Older and not seeking work.

Sorted.

I think manarak is correct.

You don't need to be collecting "benefits" to be retired.

However, if you don't have the income or money in the bank, required, you would not qualify for a "retirement visa".

Past it.

Oh, sorry. Tolerated.

[Swiss1960]

Ok, serious: you will probably - like me - be "non resident" and "unemployed" , but your home country will not care about employment till you reach the official retirement age. Retirement age can vary, some countries allow early retirement with according pension cuts.

I've been retired since I was 50 but I wont receive any pension until I'm 68 (if I'm lucky).

I always put "retired" on forms (when I dont put "Jedi Knight").

As to what my legal status is: I neither know nor care. I am what I am. Those who dont like it can @%$! themselves.
