tpb dot party has all

seems a lot of running around just to renew a passport

as long as he hasn't used a 60 day extension since his last entry into Thailand excluding re-entry permit entry, I can not see how they can refuse,( but it is Jomtein) he could also apply in Bangkok if the timing is right

in order to be a tax resident you need to live in Thailand for 180 ish days a year, so if you bring the 800k in a year when you are not tax resident its then tax free, likewise any savings before 1st jan 2024 brought in are tax free try and avoid being a tax resident to guarantee being income Thai tax free, or do as a lot of people are doing and ignore the Thai tax rules

would be fully upgraded as if you never left the UK all money generated in the UK is taxed in the UK

from my extensive searching on google tm87 and tm7 both require 6x4 - https://thailand.go.th/issue-focus-detail/001-01-044

I never mentioned visas just that a review is required as the immigration rules are out of date and abused

show me a link. otherwise a pointless post

why would the UK press post about Thai income taxation

a very bad taste comparison,

no flip flop here, just a call to review immigration rules, everyone knows the old rules are outdated and abused

IO need to see bank statement/book that show that he has complied with money in Bank rules, ie 800k for 2 months prior to application and 3 months after stamp in passport, then can drop to 400k until 2 months before new application, been that way for a few years now

I think the problem arises from people's confusion over what is stamped in their passports, a 'visa' is normally issued outside of Thailand, some can be issued inside Thailand ie non immigrant 'O' visa as part of a conversion, but non immigrant 'O''A' can not be issued inside Thailand an 'extension' to the permission to stay is issued inside Thailand, be it 30 days, 60 days or longer all 1,900thb. I think the op is not making it clear what he has and what he wants, this makes it harder to give correct advice

if you do go for the married 1st year to retirement 2nd year, the new extension will start from date of application, not date of expiry of old extension

they want to check all other passports are in the same name, its normal if you have more than 1 nationality wherever you apply from
