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.

uk taxman might beg to differ though.............u must be 51 i get mine at 67...............for now, until they move the posts again to 70

I am 56 next month, mine is 'scheduled' for 66 and 3 months.

Walt Mitty,boiler room operator,porn producer,fake lawyer,take your pick......

As others have said, you are still "retired" with or without pension....but actually you are just an old fart like many of us and we still love you.

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

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

Nonsense. Obviously you are not a citizen in Thailand, but you could have a legal "temporary stay" immigration status other than "tourist."

In any case, your comment is off topic since the O/P was asking:

what will be my status with my home country when I turn 50 in Thailand.

I suspect that the only "legal status" your home country cares about is "taxpayer".

That all seemed odd so I just checked mine again. It now says 66. Bizarre.

I have a slightly better chance of making that rendezvous.

It does not get any more serious than this.....you will be a knob and over the hill and maybe not in that order...??

PM ubonjoe if you want a correct and serious answer.

I suspect that the only "legal status" your home country cares about is "taxpayer".

in my country(EU country) I 'm a citizen and non resident, and I don't have to pay tax or even file application. I m off of their radar.

for Thailand I m a tourist residing in Europe and I don't have to pay or file tax.

when I will be 50, I guess I will be authorized to stay and spend my money in Thailand. No tax to pay.

what is called your O visa?

Put "A waste of oxygen" on all forms that require status.

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

slight thread hijack.... so you are saying iam a tourist with a work permit ?

Yes and so am i, so get off your high horse and you will note i put "tourist" in inverted commas

You have both missed the point, or failed to read the OP, The question is about status in his HOME country, nothing to with Thailand.

I would suggest ' not employed' unless income is being generated from a pension then 'retired' could apply.

if youre British you're probably non domiciled, whatever that means ....

Well Mr smarty pants, whats his HOME country then ?...as without knowing his home country one cannot comment on his status can one, and its not enough to say " EU country"

but seeing as this is thailand forum one can comment on his status in Thailand

Not nonsense by a long stretch, to aquire legal status in Thailand or any other country for that matter, one has to aquire or have citizenship or a permanent resident status, anything other than that, you are temporary visitor or "tourist" if you wish, which infers no legal status in country

"Gentleman"

I have seen this on old census returns in the UK. People's occupations were variously listed as cleaning woman, stable boy, publican, schoolboy and gentleman.

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?

Unemployed..

Sexpat ?

....'confused'.....seems to be appropriate.....

I do not know why you are so eager to put a label on yourself.

However - based on the options in your OP - the only status not mentioned is unemployed.

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.

Not in Oz we celebrate Christmas in July

Thailand Butt Pirate!!

If you plan on never working again, put:

RETIRED..

If the form you're filling out, is a job application back in the States or where ever, put:

UNEMPLOYED

It's up to you..

"Common Sense"

The basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge things..

"That most will agree on"..

Those with no common sense!!

Will believe their temp job was a career, ending when they quit, or was fired from it!

Professional sports players retire at any age...

Seems to have descended into total nonsense.
