I can verify that I just did this exact visa scenario. I applied for the Thai e-visa which was approved for 60 days.
One week or so after I arrived in Pattaya, I extended my visa for an additional 30 days.
The Thai embassy will send you an approval email with the official document you can print out and show the immigration officer at the airport upon arrival. You may also show it digitally to the officer as well, this is what I did. I do recommend you print it though, just as a backup.
I used the âKey Visaâ service near Big C and was asked to provide the e-mail document showing my e-visa approval for processing the extension. I simply forwarded the email to the address provided by the staff and received confirmation of their receipt of said documents within minutes.
I stayed in Thailand from April 2024 to July 2024. I just flew back home 4 days ago on 3 July 2024. The website is accurate, and the process is easy once youâve gathered all your documents and completed the online form on the Thai embassy website. Anyone with good sense can do it.
Thanks for the info, silly question here but is it still required to show vaccination status upon arriving? Last time I was there in 2022 vaccine card and âThai Passâ was required. Is that all gone?
Thatâs completely different to a VISA EXEMPTION which is a 60 day stay without a visa or having to do any paperwork. Thatâs the entire point
@@President_Joe_Biden I did not have to show any vaccination status information when applying online via the Thai embassy e-visa website.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us mate much appreciated
@@BaconAtor-w7jI was simply laying out the process I went through in the U.S. to get the 60-day e-visa, including the follow-on steps I took once in Thailand to get the 30-day extension. If that was not clear, my apologies to all. With that said, it is quite easy to do and pretty painless.
Trev is confusing Single Entry Tourist Visa with Visa Exempt. Visa Exempt is the one that is supposed to change from 30 day to 60 day for 93 countries.
thanks for clarification mate
You seem to be muddling up the visa free entry and a tourist visa, 2 totally different things
yeah sorry mate
Visa exemption.
You are giving wrong info⊠a visa exempt that you receive at the airport is currently 30 days. A tourist visa is 60 days. Both can be extended by 30 days. You are getting the two confused.
Thank you
Unless I'm reading it wrong, the first visa you showed (60 day tourist visa) is what has already been in place for years, it's a paid visa that you apply for before travel. What we're interested in is a 60 day visa waiver, where no application required, just granted on arrival if you're from valid country.
Yeah sorry
For heavens sake Trev a visa is different to a VISA EXEMPTION. Take this video down you donât even have the basics right. Thatâs completely different to a VISA EXEMPTION which is a 60 day stay without a visa or having to do any paperwork. Thatâs the entire point.
Yep, the guy really is clueless. Lived here for as long as he has, does a update video on what's happening in Pattaya and gets the whole visa entry wrong. Staggering that he did not even know that.
As I said at the beginning I don't really know I was just reading what I saw on the internet but at least I got the events right LOL
Point taken but I was able to establish what Trev was saying and the difference between that and 60 days on arrival, sometimes people just have to read between the lines, 2 different visas but the 60 days on arrival appears to have become a political hot potato within the Thai hierarchy.
@@scottfree993 It's not 2 different visas ! ..... the stamp on arrival is NOT a visa, it's a waiver.
@@ericisking7 yes OK 2 different entry methods, one a Visa, the other a Visa free entry
Trev your getting confused, the items you discussed are tourist visas NOT the 30 day visa exempt on arrival which the Thai government are saying they are going to extend from 30 days to 60 days. But have still not implemented.
Yeah sorry mate
Trev your confusing the tourist visa 60 days and the update to the visa on arrival which is to be increased from 30 - 60 days but yet to be implemented
Visa "exemption" on arrival.
Yeah sorry mate
The Thai embassy info you quoted is if you apply for a "60 day tourist visa"... not the new "60 day visa exemption on arrival" which is is not yet in effect until published in the Royal Gazette
Cheers mate
As of three weeks ago you are still only getting 30 days upon entry and it's only 30 days still when you extend it. Hence the reason I am off to Cambodia for the rest of the year. For about double the cost of a 30 extension here I can get a one year visa in Cambodia.
thanks for sharing
Surely thatâs just the standard tourist visa which you pay for via the Thai Embassy. Iâm flying in 10 days time, and I was advised by the UK Thai Embassy to buy the 60 days single entry tourist visa which was ÂŁ30 and easy to do. Anyway thatâs just my experience in the last 3 weeks.
More info soon
A single entry Tourist Visa is not a visa exempt stamp. Visa exempt is 30 days plus you can add 30 days to extend for 1900 baht at immigration. Regarding overstays, if you are caught before getting to the airport your going to the detention centre. If you get to the airport its 500 baht a day.
Cheers mate
He should stick to his Girly bar.
Give him a break he's at least trying to help. What do you do to help ? Oh that's right complain
Yeah sorry for trying to help out.... Have a good day
@@Sanman1212 I should stick to the nursing home but here I am
@@President_Joe_Biden You should keep your politics to yourself. It might offend some thankfully, non-Americans who can see right through the Epstein buddy, grifting, mob overhang, *anker that's ready to sell out the country for his personal gain.
The single entry tourist visa is not the same as the 30 day visa exemption. As it says the 30 day is not a visa its an exemption. The single entry is the actual visa that costs 30 quid from the UK and lasts 60days.
Thanks mate
Came thru this week. They asked if I wanted 30 days or 60 days. Iâm only staying a week so just took the 30 days
Cheers mate
@@scottwood1840 where was that ? - Suvanabhumi ??
The 60 day visa is applied through Thai consulate in your country .
It is not the 30 day exemption when you arrive itâs different.
Cheers mate
Trev,
A 60 day tourist visa from Thai embassy in home country ( 1,900b ), is not the same as a 60 day visa waiver on arrival ( Free ).
Thank you
They are talking about VISAS there NOT visa exemption ENTRY. Big difference.
Cheers
If you overstay beyond a certain limit you can be detained at the airport when you try to leave, so you actually get to stay longer when you were leaving anyway.
Yes mate
If you apply at an embassy, you can get a single entry for 60 days, this has been in effect for years (requires certain paper work). The multi allows multiple single entries for a period of 6 months (you can extend 30, but then have to leave and reenter for another 60 days) - this requires even more paperwork. One difference between the two is the single you have 90 days to enter Thailand whereas the multi starts the day they issue it.
I've been getting the single and extending for another 30 (although I don't stay the full 30).
The single entry is not the same as Visa exemption which is now 30 days, but may become 60 days.
Cheers mate
Thanks Trevor another good one. Iâm not over there, at least at the moment and this tax thing sounds a bit tricky. Iâm living in Australia on an Aged pension. The pension is not too bad and because of our taxation rules I am not subject to tax. Similarly, I have a small amount in Superannuation, which over a period of time increases in value and again not subject to tax. I know you, like myself are not experts on these things but surely it could be possible for someone like myself to come over there, draw a pension and possibly some money from their Superannuation fund and then because they havenât already paid any tax on their funds, suddenly be subject to tax, which on the face of it would be rather a disincentive.
Cheers mate
Thai tax 0 - 150,000 Exempt 150,000 - 300,000 5% 300,000 - 500,000 10% 500,000 - 750,000 15% 750,000 - 1,000,000 20% 1,000,000 - 2,000,000 25% 2,000,000 - 4,000,000 30% Over 4,000,000 35% An individual is considered tax resident if he/she is in Thailand for 180 days or more in a calendar year.
If you have pensions of ÂŁ15,000 a year you would pay more tax in Thailand than in UK Much smaller personal allowance 150,000baht compared to approx 581,000baht in UK.
It sounds like Thailand will be getting a lot of 178 day residents than year round as people wonât want to pay the taxes or keep the records. I believe this will affect Thailands real estate and rental properties.
Let's see
@@BuzzinpattayaIâll be looking to sort a retirement visa soon - will be multi entry as no way will I stay 180 days in Thailand until at least a couple of Thai tax years have passed to see the practical implementation of the changes
Extremely helpful information. Thank you!
Very welcome!
MEV is the best. You DO get 60 days +30. I already have done this and just applied for another, even as the first VISA isnât over yet. SO you can basically get about 9 months stay on MEV. I am flying back tomorrow with the MEV. I applied online and got it issued within 48 hrs. Even though they say it can take 2 weeks.
Cheers mate
You apply through the Royal Thai Consulate website.
You have to apply for the 60 day visa if approved you get stamped on entry for 60 days. Its not automatic 60 days at airport without visa. Thanks for content Trev
Thanks for the info
Hi! Trevor, Thank you for another excellent video presentation. My understanding regarding the visa is you can get 60 days if you apply at the embassy in your country before arriving and then extend for another 30 days at immigration afterwards. This rule has been there all the time and not changed. The rule does not apply for visa on arrival as yet. At the moment Visa on arrival gets you 30 days and another 30 days at immigration. I used the above rule a few years back with no problem. Hope I am correct. Wish you a lovely day, take care and stay safe. Cheers!!! Dino
Cheers mate much appreciated
As per a few of the other comments that have been posted you can apply online for a tourist visa which is all done online from your own country and there is no requirement to send off your passport. I did this last year and received a confirmation email from the Thai embassy in London within a few days. It's an e-visa valid for up to 3 months and allows stays in Thailand for up to 60 days on arrival in Thailand. There's a recommendation which I strongly suggest you do to print the confirmation email to show the immigration officer on arrival. A 30 day extension to the 60 days is an option. I actually applied for the more expensive multi entry tourist visa which is valid for 6 months from the date of issue and also allows the 60 day stay at a time with the option to extend another 30 days. There is however from watching the TNT youtube channel a good chance that the 30 day visa exemption will be extended to 60 days this year for tourists from most countries currently only getting the 30 days.
Cheers mate
I reckon if they extended the 30 day visa exemption to 60 days, then very few people would bother paying for a tourist visa.
@@nigelwilliams9307 There wouldn't be any point at all applying for the tourist visa if the visa exemption is extended from 30 to 60 days which is looking increasingly likely. I don't know why they don't just give us all 3 months as they do in Europe. Tourism plays a huge part in Thailand's GDP and their economy and creates jobs for Thai people so why put obstacles in place which may discourage people from visiting the fantastic country.
Tourist visas are 60 days and visa exemptions are 30 days on entry, until it say otherwise on the thailand immigration website.
Thank you
You can only stay in Thailand for 60 days by applying for visa and 30 days just by showing your passport.The link you put up Trevor does
confirm this.
Cheers
yes , it can be confusing. .... the 180 day multiple entry apparently costs 10,000baht but as usual no confirmation yet
cheers mate
absolutely clueless regarding the visa conversation đ
Totally đđđđ
@@user-vv5sf3do4p and even more dangerous - clueless on the Thai Tax thing as well !
This adds a bit more clarity to the tax situation. Itâs going to be interesting how they might enforce the TIN and tax return verification. Through immigration ? The story is unfolding bit by bit. Thanks for the update đ
let's see mate
Thanks for the update Trev cheers đ
No problem đ
That 60 days is for a tourist visa. NOT the same as turning up without a visa & getting a 60 day stamp. They mention that the validity is for 3 months, so clearly it's for a visa that you apply for in advance.
Thanks for the info!
RE the overstay only being 500B/day and not going to jail, that isn't quite true. Not from personal experience, but as reported on other websites. If, and it is unlikely unless you are a knob or very unlucky, you come to the attention of the authorities with even a 1 day overstay, you will go to immigration detention. They do'nt have a choice, unless there are some serious extenuating circumstances. As reported on TNT and Integrity Legal, especially in the Phuket region, immigration police have been preactively targeting people who have overstayed based upon information from locals. So, run the gauntlet if you wish, but keep your nose clean.
I've not know anyone to be imprisoned on overstay, immigration detention yes but not jail
@@Buzzinpattaya fair enough, a bit of semantics, you're locked up and not free to do what you want.
Sorry, but you understand Visa completly. The new Visa excemption we are waiting for is 60 days, but tourist visa has been 60 days for a long time.
Yeah messed up
And is there still a limit of 2 land crossings for tourist visas or has that been changed? Hoping it has been changed to allow more.
You can do more just spread them out
It wonât change until itâs in the Royal Thai Gazette as with all rule changes. You get the 60 day visa now by applying for it in your own country before arriving.
true....nothing has changed yet ...also waiting for the 60 days instead of every time applying through E-visa for 60 days and then locally asking 30 days extra . Would mean a lot less work with uploading documents, new passport pictures etc and waiting with stress if it gets approved or not.
So true

You are making the all too common mistake of confusing a visa with visa exemption. And confusing visa exemption with visa on arrival. No offense because I like you and I like your channel but on these types of matters you should interview an expert because you are making matters worse.
It's up to you to confirm so he's not doing ANY damage whatsoever...
Thanks mate
Foreign pensions that are already taxed will not be taxed in Thailand. Unfortunately this doesn't address the question of the difference in tax rates between Thailand and your home country. If Thailand's tax rate is higher than your home country tax rate then will you be liable to pay the difference in Thailand? That question is often speculated on but seldom answered directly. Also is there a difference between government pensions and work pensions? Finally, even if you won't end up paying any tax are you still obligated to get a tax ID and submit a tax form?
In my case I am here on a pensioner LTR visa which supposedly exempts us from taxes on any money brought into the country. Do the new rules change any of that? I'll have to see the income tax form to see if there is anywhere that allows me to indicate my pensioner LTR visa status.
gotcha mate
I think you might be getting confused between tourist visas and visa free entry, the latter of which is the one about to change from 30 to 60 days.
The "tourist visas" have always been the same, at least for Aus. and possibly for many other countries.
I would not advise any belief in the proposed change of visa free entry until one sees it plainly displayed in any of your own countries Thai consulates.
Currently in Aus there is no such notification of any change to 60 days although it might be on the way.
Yeah I was lol sorry
As Australian entering Thailand as a tourist you get 30 days. Period. If you want to stay longer, sort it with your Aus embassy.

This video reminds me of cheap Dave in Thailand monthly budget videos haha. Full of wrong information haha

The embassy is issuing a physical visa in your passport. Visa exemption is not what the embassy is issuing.
Okay
Visa exempt is totally different from tourist visa or visa on arrival!. Visa exempt is still 30days until announce in the royal gazette.
Cheers mate
Visa on arrival also still 30 days?
@@jdt5419 yes still 30 days for stamp on arrival.

I like that you tell People about events. I just booked flights to arrive at november 25 to december 12. See you then đ
Cheers mate safe travels
I thought that the new tax rules meant that if your pension was taxed in country of origin then you would receive credit for tax paid. Which means you may still need to pay Thai tax. I am Australian and receive a pension with very low tax applied because of my age (over 60). So I believe I could still be subject to significant tax for any pension $âs I transfer to Thailand. I assume there would be others in the same boat.
Not sure speaking to an advisor soon
You are correct. You may have to pay the difference if your home country taxes less than Thailand does.
Depends on the application of the Aus-Thai DTA and where you're a tax resident. Not enough information in your statement. However, If you're on a lower income pension, you have nothing to worry about, the Thai tax won't be much if applicable. For example, if you remit 65k baht each month, and assumed this was fully taxed income in Thailand, the most Thai tax you'd pay on the 780k baht annual assessable income would be 45k baht (5.8%) if you're

A mate of mine flew out in 2007 married a Thai lady he met on two trips beforehand, split up within 6 months and eventually met up with a friend who flew out and paid for his flight home to the UK. He had a 3yr plus overstay and was subsequently barred from entering the kingdom of Thailand for life! I still see him occasionally and we can only talk about the times of when he was allowed there đ

Hi Trev I arrived 2weeks ago and the immigration ladyâs said to me that the 60days is from 15july so I only got 30
cheers mate
@BuzzinPattaya - pls read
Re 60d tourist visa - this is not new. You are getting confused with the visa exempt stay which is 30d and the one they are talking about increasing to 60d Both the 60d tourist visa and the 30d visa exempt stay can be extended by 30d when you are here.
I think you should amend this vid or you will be confusing a lot of people mate !
Exactly, that's a visa. Most people come on a visa exemption, that is different. A tourist visa has always been 60 days. It's still 30 until gazetted.
Cheers and apologies
How come additional income eg interest or rental property brought into Thailand may be subject to tax even if this is also taxed in your home country ?
Good question
You will get credit for home country tax against any Thai tax assuming there is a double tax treaty in place. So could be additional tax due or none depending on home country position
With my last visit APRIL 2024 i was one day over and was prepared to pay at the Airport but the lady there waived it for me.
Fairplay to her
Like you mentioned - if your pension is already taxed, under the DTA you won't be taxed in Thailand.
Problem is for most Australians, under our system, our pensions are tax-free. I paid into my private Superannuation fund (from pre-taxed income over many years), which is taxed within the fund during accumulation stage, to draw a private pension income stream, to be finally free of the tax man and not be reliant on the government to pay me a pension. Now to be slammed with tax in Thailand frankly feels like a kick in the guts and makes cost of living significantly more expensive. I am gutted by the new laws. Some interpret the Aussie DTA with Thailand as pensions being exempt but others state it is not. Government pensions are exempt, that's all. The rest us are screwed. I know there's exemptions and first 150,000 Baht is tax free. But sliding scale makes an average pension going to be about 15% less value in Thailand - a big deal. Throw in a bad exchange rate when currencies fluctuate and in for difficult times for many Aussies. It means I am looking now to get out of Thailand if this kicks in. The thought of having to move around to other countries for the rest of my life to keep under 180 days is ridiculous. For a few years maybe, but very unsettling and costly too. Loophole - yes spend under 6 months in a chosen year, transfer a big amount and then just spend that for maybe the next year or too (if you have spare cash to just sit in a Thai bank earning nothing) but then you lose on higher interest rates back in Oz etc. Phillipines is looking more attractive. And who will remit money to buy a property here? 5 million baht remitted to Thailand to buy a condo for example would attract 35% tax on top, unless you transferred money into Thailand when under 180 days in a year. What a nightmare. Big ticket items forget it. Not worth it.
Ah gotcha mate
@@Buzzinpattaya it depends on the actual DTA - they will all vary and tax credit with additional Thai tax due could easily arise. People should take professional advice really even if it costs
Hi Trevor
I think you are talking about a 60 day single entry or multiple entry tourist visa. This isn't the same as the visa exemption stamp which seems to still be 30 days. There is talk of making the visa exemption stamp valid for 60 days.
Yeah messed up lol
Regarding double taxation. I checked my bank account and my social security payment was taxed here in Thailand it was taken out of my bank account I am also taxed in the US is Thailand going to reimburse me the money plus lost interest
Thanks for sharing
The 60 day visa people are looking for is the 60 day visa exception. So a no visa, visa.

Hey Trev and thanks for this update. When you speak to Mark can you ask him will Superannuation lump sums or amounts of that inclusive of any redundancy payments will be taxed. Yes I will be receiving a pension which is exempt but I was also hoping to bring lump sums when required, thank you.
Will do mate
Untill Thailand grows up with the massive amount of law changes, I wonât invest a single dime there. I wonât move my family there. I might come on the occasional vacation, but thatâs it. I was ready to invest in a few industries but laws there are too flippant.
I get ya
Hello Trev, thanks for the informative clip. Quick question if i may. I plan to relocate to Pattaya late Nov early Dec. If i get my bank account sorted and deposit a quite large sum of savings before the 31 Dec 24, am i right that you were saying it will be exempt from Thai tax. Thanks again
Yes, absolutely
You are citing a commercial website regarding the proposed 60 visa exempt policy. There is nothing official about that website. Everyone entering is getting 30 days. THAT is official.
thank you
You can call the Thailand embassy in your own country for free. They will answer that question for free.

Trevor, you are totally WRONG. Everyone is talking about 60 day entry VISA EXEMPT meaning NO visa required.
Ok
Ok then. Thanks a lot. Im a retired Swiss and if u officially move out of Switzerland and the pension is transferred by the Swiss Gov. to, in this case to a Thai Bank, u don't pay Taxes in Switzerland on your Pension. If u stay in Switzerland u will be taxed. Can u please give an example about how many % of taxes one would have to pay, lets say on a $2000 or $3000 ($24000 or $36000 a year) a month income ? And please, can i clear my Bank account end of this year and don't have to pay income taxes ? Thanks
Gotcha
Tax:Even those of us on European pensions wonât have to pay tax it still creates a red tape headache and a bill to get your tax return filled.
There are thousands of girls down in Pattaya,Phuket etc,many who âEarnâ much more than we do and who donât pay any tax.
I get ya
Just arrived on July 1st, got a 30 day stamp.
cheers
When you arrive at the airport you get a visa exemption for 30 days, this is not a visa. The information you are quoting from the Thai embassy is for a visa. I did this when I arrived from Australia in March, I applied to the Thai consulate in Sydney, gave them my passport and they put the visa in my passport. I got 60 days when I arrived otherwise I would have got 30.
What was point in the visa then when they're exempt upon arrival anyway ?
Thank you
When I arrived on June 30,I was given a 30 day visa..I was informed by the customs official the new 60 day visa should come into effect for arrivals from July 15..let's see what happens
Cheers mate
Yeah I arrived back here a couple of days ago - same info given. 30 days upon arrival until officially signed off, hopefully at the end of this week
I got a 30 day extension a few days ago that official was saying August.
Never overstay!! Not even for one hour. They really respect a clean history.
I get ya but it's not the end of the world
As I work overseas I come back to Thailand after every month work, up until this month I always got a 30 day exemtion stamp in my passport, last week when I arrived back I got 60 days exemption stamped in my passport.
One note Trevor visa exemption is different to a visa
Thanks for sharing!
What your supposed to be talking about is the 60 day visa-exemption stamp. Single Entry tourist visa has been 60 days for years mate and you could always extended to 90 days. The terminology of what your talking about is what's got you unstuck when using google.
Yeah sorry
Can you tell me I am coming to Thailand for 60 day reservation , from Canada am I allowed to come into the country with a return flight 60 days later
Please check with Mark at one stop visa
Pre pproved before ou arrive is 60 dys. Visa on arrivl is 30 days.
thanks mate
How do you get pre approved and how long before you arrive to get pre approved for 60 days
@@moonyachti At the Thai embassy where you live before you leave. Id arrange it 2 weeks before departure.
I'll be arriving next week on the 16th. I'll give my experience
Cheers mate
This non pensionable taxation is very smart. Thailand will gain far more income from xpats and more importantly potential xpats recieving pension income than they will ever collect from additional taxation. Very good news and smart for the long range economic forecast for Thailand. Many Thai ladies will be very happy about this news, more money and wealth growth for poor Thai families.
Gotcha
Trev, when I lose the election in November, can I come to the Buzzin Lounge to forget about it?
Haha always
Certainly don't want the orange idiot there!
Yesturday I went to immigration at Phetchaburi only 30 days 1900baht?
Wow
Landed 7th July at BKK got 30 day stamp
Cheers
Stamped in on July 1st from Canada and was only givin 30 day stamp
Gotcha mate
You mixed up Thai Visa with a Visa Exemption...!
Sorry
Im only 1 minute in and you have got this so wrong already Trev. The Tourist visa isn't set to change and has always been 60+30 days. The thing that is looking like it will change is the Visa Exemption. Currently you can enter Thailand and get a 30 day visa exemption stamp. this is looking to be extended to 60 days. You have somehow got the Tourist Visa and Visa Exemption completely mixed up
Give him a break fella.
Yea now you can get of the plain and get a 60 day stamp in your passport. If u want an extra 30 days go embassy or visa office pay 2000 baht and your gd to go.
@@HarrowfireworksUk you are as clueless mate. Itâs still 30 days exemption, not 60 days!
Did I last that long?
You also get a red stamp in your passport if you over stay
Yes
100 to go big boy
getting there mate haha
The 60 day tourist visa current. New 60 day was 30 day extension to entry permit not visa.
Cheers mate
Hi Trev, two questions, does UK and Thailand have double taxation agreements? And secondly, my war pension and Navy Pension are both Tax free because of invalidity although my state pension in 2028 may well be above the tax free threshold by that time so what would happen there?
UK and Thailand have the DTA agreement
Cheers trev
Not all DTAs are the same. Article 19 2 (a) & (b) cover government pensions which should cover MoD pensions for UK Thailand - state pension wouldnât be covered. German Thai DTA has a specific pension article for all pensions. State pension would be a tax credit situation - any Thai tax due would first be offset by UK tax paid so depends on what the UK result is.
@@mrh7758 my Navy pension and War pensions are both Tax free it's only my state pension in 2028 that worries me
I read this as : still only 30 days if you apply from your homecountry , though 60 days through E-visa , which is not a change for the moment .
Tax : will CZcams vids be regarded as income ?
Thank you
thanks for the update. Saw they passed the change to aw weed and hemp wil be reclassified and you can only get it at pharmacy for medical use by years end. All the weed shops will be gone by years end and some growers who dont grow to medical quality will be shut down.
Cheers mate
Hi Trevor the 60 days sounds like the same as it has always been when you purchase it for ÂŁ30 online. I just checked HM Government and it's stating 30/days. I believe it showed 60 when the new measures were first being announced. Unfortunately there is never any consistency when Thailand announces changes only a certain amount of confusion đ
exactly ... it was always 60 days !!! IT is the visa FREE entry changes that everyone is waiting for !!!!
What do you mean no consistency when Thailand announces new laws/regulation!?
Whenever Thailand announces new laws, it is consistently always a mess!
@@rdefacendis yep
Thanks for sharing
As far as rain goes, it seems similar to Florida except we have better drainage.
Gotcha
Still doesnât answer the question. How will they track income
Not sure mate
When I got my visa this time, they asked for all my Bank Statements for the whole of the last 12 months rather than just a current balance which did make me think.
Wow
no, that is normal, well at least it is here in Hua Hin. For O Visa (retirement extension)
Some countries have tax treaties with Thailand; so if your home country taxes you on world wide income, that amount would be a credit against Thai Income Tax, the net result for many would be no overall increase, but, yeah, the hassle of filing another tax return. Only two things are certain in life- death and taxes :)
Gotcha mate
I always just confirm with the thai embassy in my home country first. I always apply for the 60 day tourist visa in my home country prior to travel. Saves hassle
Cheers mate
Why not just get the exemption? were you working or what ?
