returnofthailand Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manarak Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I wont be retired because I wont receive any retirement benefits from my state. this assumption is wrong. you will for sure be retired, since you are neither working nor looking for a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Well, on my U.S. tax forms, in the same situation for a very long time, I simply put: RETIRED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 What do you mean by "status"? And which is your home country? With your home country you are probably just "citizen".

willyumiii Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I wont be retired because I wont receive any retirement benefits from my state. this assumption is wrong. you will for sure be retired, since you are neither working nor looking for a job 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".

Swiss1960 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 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.
