Exactly they make announcements but does not mean everyone knows about or the systems in place, Some jump the gun and become disappointed when they did not get the 60 day you might get away with showing the article at immigration but that comes down to luck. And yes the Embassy is the best place might be slower to change but at least you have the latest information.

At the end of May, the British Embassy posted that the 60 day visa exempt would be implemented on June 1st. It's since been removed...

Should I pay 175 for a multi entry visa or Is ist allowed to enter thailand 3 times in 4 months on visa exemtion?

Nice top spot Scott 👌

@@Ian4444four cheers Mate..

Don’t complain stay in your own country 🤪

As i have Red the only Thing they don't need approval from the Parlament is enforcing you becoming Tax-able in Thailand If you stay 180 days or longer. This Law was already in place, But everyone ignored it. Everything Else IS Not decided by Thai Parlament yet.

Even if you do stay over 180 days, if you are just doing online work or whatever (i.e. not working for a thai company) most likely as Keis said you still don't have to pay tax in Thailand because of tax treaties Thailand has with most countries (that means you can pay tax in your home country, it doesn't mean you don't pay tax at all).

​@@calky360Sounds logical, but you will have to do the paperwork. And since every country has different timeframes you might not get your Tax Assessment from your country untill End of Match 2025 to send IT to Thai Tax Office

@@calky360 That's actually not entirely true. After 180 days, you are legally a Thai tax resident. Even assuming you owe no Thai tax that year, you still have to file and prove you do not owe taxes which is an additional burden. That said, if you make an income "doing online work or whatever", any assets repatriated into Thailand must be reported on your taxes. Those taxes generally can be excluded from any assessed taxes in your home country. With tax brackets being relatively high in Thailand, it's very possible you could be paying more in taxes. Whether or not the Thai Tax Authority has the capacity to enforce any of this is an entirely different issue altogether, though.

@@calky360 Wrong! If you pay less taxes (back home) than the amount (tax brackets) Thailand requires; you will pay the difference!

I just entered and of course still only 30 day stamp. I asked immigration direct question about the changes that were advertised. He said still no approval from govt and he had no forecast of when.

Yeah that part confuses me, because on the Thailand consulate page it says you are not required to pay tax, I put a screenshot on the screen 🤷‍♂️ Also unless you are getting paid into a Thai bank (which you wouldn’t) then how can they monitor your taxable income?

Maybe they are thinking that you will leave within 180 days and not come back that tax year? But as others say it could all change tomorrow.....Amazing Thailand 😃

@@keisoneit is not ‘how can they monitor’ …..if you are deemed tax resident then you will be required to file a tax return and ‘declare’ as appropriate within that return.

I’d be happy to do boarder runs on the 90 days now given. But it’s the uncertainty each time you come back whether you’ll get let back in.

@@ronr3133 maybe that’s why Thailand is so popular, the government plays off that “ gambler “ addiction we all have deep down inside of us

Condo Links: hipflat.co.th/en renthub.in.th/en

How about enforcing the 180 days rule & make those people declare & possibly pay taxes? Will they enforce it for 2024? What's your opinion?

Most likely it will be 60 plus a 30 extension like after covid, they had 60+30 for most countries

lol

If they give at least a 1 or 2 month extension after the 60 days that will be great. It will minimize the border runs to max 1 per year. Get out of Thailand after 90 days, spend time in Vietnam/Cambodia etc. and get back after 185 days or so - to keep time spent in Thailand within 180 days.

Do you know if you can do the 60 days in Thailand and then shoot back to Vietnam and come back to Thailand and get another 60 days ? ( I guess what I’m asking is how many 60 day visa exemptions are you allowed per year )… thank you !

@@johnmellyn2700 I'm not sure, I was stamped a 60 day visa on arrival on the 19th June until Aug, then I'll do a visa run again somewhere and see what happens.

@@johnmellyn2700 Best thing is to avoid staying more than 180 in a calendar year in Thailand to be exempt from any tax. Thanks.

💰💵💸

How much do you need to 'invest' to get that?

Yeah, out of reach for 98% of people.

The lump sum amounts (500k for the DTV, 400K for marriage, 800k retirement) need to be in one of the selected Thai banks and need to be there for a certain amount of time before you can process the visa. IIRC 3 months in the account (I leave my 400k in all the time but i could withdraw it and redeposit it to match the time requirements if i really wanted to, when i do my renewals)

All of the other visa's that require this deposit require it to be in a Thai account. And yes opening a bank account outside of Phuket without a B or O visa is a major PITA. One thing to note each branch has discretion on if they open an account or not, even with my O visa I went through 4 branches before one would open an account.

I got it last week.

Weird someone here in the comments said they arrived this week and only got 30.. This is all very confusing! 😵‍💫

@@keisone My PP is stamped for 60 days, no questions asked at Imigration, stamped and straight through.

Nice! good to see its finally happening :)

Read the snap shot at 1.02 again. It says it is valid to be used up to 5 years from being issued. It says it can be extended one time for 180 days. It also says it does NOT allow any DN to stay in Thailand for 5 years. So once you leave Thailand the visa is cancelled. Will you then be able to apply for a new one every year well clarification is needed on that.

​@user-ql9vu3zg3 No, since it is a Multy Entry Visa you can enter multiple Times within the 180 days period. Everything Else you Said is correct.

60 days visa on arrival instead of 30 days dont seem to demand anything from you other than booking the ticket. But i guess you meant the digital nomad visa, and yes that seems little bit more complicated.

try doing a marriage or retirement visa yourself lol, this visa seems simple. When I got my O visa 1 year extension there were 4 documents they wanted that were not listed on any official forms. Even something as simple as the 90 day registration is a gong show, the online system has worked 1 of the times times I did it last year and twice they asked for unrelated documents. Last time i went we brought the same documents as the time before and the woman said "why are you bringing these, they have nothing to do with the 90 day reporting" Where the time before were sent away to print them (had as pdf on the phone). You haven't experienced frustration until you have had a few years of dealing with Thai immigration. It is slightly better than when i worked here in the 2000's though.

They will most likely have us prove a certain amount in the bank or our monthly or annual income.

KZfaq is a super grey area, they dinged a Korean content creator that was publishing negative reviews for tax issues. If you are making KZfaq videos here you have to be super carful, read the laws on filming in public and if you are hear for over 180 days register for taxes. You could be here for years and never have a problem but that does not make it legal.

If you’re coming from USA you could go online and get a 60 day tourist visa for $40.00 , but act quickly because it could take a couple weeks to process,… once your there if you wanted to stay over the 60 days for another 30 days you’d have to stop by an immigration office and get a 30 extension for 1900 baht ( about $60.00 )

That's decent for a condo in Sukhumvit. Otherwise you will have to get an apartment.

@@method341 what is the main difference between condo and apartment in Bangkok - I mean for someone doing short term rental? I know there are certain differences where ownership is concerned

@@Chris-dw6cu condos are just more upscale and usually have one bedroom with a kitchen. Apartments are usually a bit more basic and many are studios with no kitchen. Condos usually have security and more parking (but also more people you have to share with)

They’re just trying to make a living there Skipper

People like you are what will push me out of my comfort zone.

As a THAI person. You are also a problem. Digital nomads and foreigners should get out of Thailand immediately!!

We'll see you in Pattaya, some expat who jumped out of a window, lol.

@@johnmellyn2700 if that were the case, id have no problem but unfortunately, the ones i met were only out to promote scams to other nomads or participants in a circle jerk of "how great are we?" meetups. simply some of the worst, sadly.

They usually grant you that once you start sending money to isan 🤣

Spot on, thats who they want to attract, lets see if It works that way..

It is worded the same as it is for retirement and marriage visa, It would be safe to assume it is the same policy they already have in place this requires you to have the money in a Thai savings account for a set period before the visa is issued and at every renewal.

Married to a Thai, previous house owner in Bangkok, 7 time visitor - I have seen the changes and do not visit any more

Exactly…so I guess none of this really applies to us!

who got it for you? :)

@@regnorse Visa agent. I highly recommend using an agent for any and all issues regarding visa services.

thats exactly what this video is about lol

Was enforcing the 180 days to become Tax-able announced in the Royal Gazette (yet)? If Not they can Not Tax people staying over 180 days in Thailand, right?

It doesn’t work like that. It is up to you to prove the source of the income you bring into Thailand and that tax has been paid on it in your home country. If you can do this Thailand give you a tax credit. Thailand then calculate out how much you would have paid in tax in Thailand (Note there is not much they give tax exemption on but one is the USA social security pension as it is in the DTA but that is not the case say for the UK state pension which is taxable). Then if your tax credits are equal or more than the tax you would have paid in Thailand you pay no tax but if less you pay the difference. You might find the following informative. 1) EXPAT TAX THAILAND have great Vids on their channel that go through all the aspects of the DTA’s between Thailand - USA, UK, Australia and give case study examples. 2) You can go to your regional tax office and they have people who will answer your queries and give you clarifications. I know this because I seen a Vid were a guy in Buriram did it & I then did the same in Udon Thani. 3) The following will take you to a list of all the tax allowances you can claim. Then you add on 150,000 THB as that is 0% tax and that is how much income your allowed before you start paying tax - Thailand Personal Tax Deductions & Allowances SHERRINGS. 4) Singles/Couples with income of more than 120K/220K have to file tax returns and there are penalties if you don’t - Thailand Residency Rules 2024 Guide EXPAT TAX THAILAND.

Probably checking on you on those Visa Extensions, because its digitally saved when you entered & left Thailand by Immigration.

Or permanent residency in Latin America.

Will you be liable for the information provided? Please provide information

I don't think your take on it is correct, you might want to get some good advice.

Look at what's required for Thai citizens to enter your own country and you will see that Thailand makes it easy for foreigners.

Yeah mate I saw it, I will reply soon, just traveling at the moment!

But who in their right mind wants to live in the Pi??? They have to make the visa there attractive otherwise no one would go. Went to the PI for the first time recently… let’s just say I’ll never ever go back. What a trashy country.

@@finwest I like Thailand better I went to both places but I'm not going to lie I really enjoyed the Philippines plus I have a friend that's a little older than me that might be getting a place in Baguio city which is a higher elevation it's like a lot cooler than anywhere else in the country. Then again a lot of people go to time because they're into the party saying I don't do the party scene or the places that have all the bars in the foreigners. When I was in Thailand I went way up North about an hour from Chiang Rai. It's okay I'm going back this year but I will tell you even though Tyler has them be on most everything besides the Visa situation that's a huge deal if you don't have thousands of dollars in a bank or have money coming in online it's a huge deal to be able to go somewhere and stay for 3 years if you want and keep doing it over and over without limits. A lot of people will say the thing the Philippines beats it at is culture being similar as far as religion or language. To me the biggest thing that I liked about the Philippines was and I don't care what the reasons is you're treated like a rockstar like know where I've been in the world. People in Thailand are very nice but they don't just walk up to you oh where are you from oh you have blue eyes and then just totally freaking making you feel like you're special. Probably ulterior reasons but either way I've never been anywhere in the world where people are just excited that there's an American and wants to talk to you. Especially in the province where there is no foreigners everybody comes up to you trying to talk to you and just like infatuated with American movies American music and everything about American. In Thailand the lady I stayed with she doesn't even know who Elvis is or any famous movie or anything to do with America

@@finwest and there are thousands upon thousands of foreigners living in the Philippines because of it being so easy to stay there and I would think also it's a little bit cheaper because the countries more poor than Thailand. So your dollar goes further I think it's almost 60 pesos for the dollar most speak English and you're just treated more like a rockstar than you'll ever be treated in Thailand

What do you mean you're out of extensions? Is this what immigration told you? You should still be able to fly out to a neighbouring country and back in.
