Retiring and taxes
I have been seriously thinking about retiring to Thailand but the more I find out about the tax implications the more turned off by the idea I am. If I am in Thailand more than 180 days I am considered a tax resident which means even if I dont have ... Read More
Extend 90 days by Teatowel
Anyone know if it's possible to extend the 90 days visa for a further 90 days instead of 1 year? If so how many times can you do this? I need more time before I decide to go the whole way and put 800k in Thai account.
@martinoo2002 the thing is that I want to live in a few different areas before I sign a lease and of course can't open bank account without lease. Airbnb most of them are minimum 2 weeks. Any less and they don't approve and tell you to go to a ... Read More

what do I need to rent apartment in Thailand for long term by flman
Hi everyone, What do I need to rent apartment for long term as a US citizen? I'm aware that I don't need a visa; however, the amount of time I'm allowed to stay it's a bit unclear. Some websites says 30 days and then you can extend ...
@cthierrymk wait what? I need a bank account to get a lease but I need a lease to get a bank account. How does that work? Read More
Visa question
I have read some people saying how horrendous the process is for trying to get a long term visa in Thailand. That the bureaucracy makes it very daunting and nightmarish. I was under the impression it was possible to pay an agent to do for you? Is ... Read More

@GuestPoster145 being alone and being lonely are two very different things. You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely. It has nothing to do with being a hermit. It also has nothing to do with being single as a high percentage of people ... Read More

@mpmilestogo when you say they send the passport you have to hand it over? Is it safe to do that? What if it gets lost or something? Read More
