if you retired in Thailand you will never get bored because Thailand visa restrictions changed every year more or less 😉 it's pushing your heart to visa extension marathon challenge, after that you'll feel tired but relax like after a 42 km marathon… until next year.😁

Ben, what's the status of supposedly forthcoming changes to O-A financial rqmts and more? You say immigration has talked about the LTR but what about O-A changes? It was never clear to me if potential changes were stated by immigration or if it all was rumor.

Thumbs Up 👍

Is TRICARE going to be able to substitute for Thai Insurance?

Thailand is a joke when it comes to long term visas. I lived and worked in Thailand for 24 years. I contributed to Thailand in many ways, not least of which was the fact that I taught English at ( mostly ) Universities amongst other things. But when I reached the magic age of 60, Thailand says goodbye because I had no impossible monthly income. It's a joke. For retirees, to have a monthly retirement of 80.000 Baht minimum . You can easily live in Thailand for 30,000 baht per month, even less actually. But Thailand governments just see the Golden Dollar sign in the sky.

🤔😵‍💫

About the Thailand Pass: this is what you can read on tatnews.org (Tourism Authority of Thailand`s website)
"Centre of COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) today approved the removal of the Thailand Pass registration scheme and an US$10,000 health insurance requirement for foreign visitors, effective 1 July, 2022. From 1 July, 2022, foreign nationals are only required to show proof of either a certificate of vaccination or a negative RT-PCR or professional ATK test result within 72 hours of travel. These can be in a print or digital format. Random checks will be made on arrivals at Thailand’s international airports or land border checkpoints (in 22 provinces). Unvaccinated/not fully vaccinated travellers who are random checked and who are unable to show proof of a pre-arrival negative test will be required to undergo a professional ATK test at the point of entry."
I have two pressing questions at this point:
1. If the Centre of COVID-19 (CCSA) APPROVED something, does it mean that it will ACTUALLY happen? So far there are only media reports with varying degrees of clarity, ranging from "will be cancelled" to "is expected to end".
2. If "foreign nationals are required to show proof of vaccination or test", how come they will be given a professional ATK test at the point of entry if they are unable to "show proof of a pre-arrival negative test"? How will they be able to get to the point of entry without the "proof of either vaccination or a negative test"? In other words, you are "required" to show your certificates, but if you don`t show your certificates, you are OK to go, only you may (if they randomly select you) be given a professional ATK test. If that is the case, then you are not REQUIRED to show anything because you can reach the port of entry anyway and be given a test there.
It doesn`t make sense, does it? It is so opaque that I fear when I show up at the check in desk at the airport on 1st July they will tell me they haven`t heard of any changes to the Thailand Pass and ask my for a QR code or tests or whatever.

Clear as mud. What you need to do is get a whiteboard and list the different types of visas and under them list the requirements. I hope this helps.

Yes 80,000 Baht, not USD. "What Are the Eligibility Criteria for Permanent Residency in Thailand? Employment: You have held a Thailand Work Visa and Work Permit for at least three years, and: You had a monthly salary of at least 80,000 Baht for two consecutive years or you filed a tax return for an annual income of at least 1,000,000 Baht for two consecutive years." So the cost for a permanent Residency in Thailand is 2years x 20% tax rate x 12 months x80,000 Baht (2,260.53USD) = $10,850.544 USD

Permanent Residence does not make you a Thai, folks. There is a quota and language requirements…so go for the O or OA. In all cases (PR, O, OA)…the laws treating you are the same, concerning land ownership. You can't be a landowner, outright. So PR is still only for a few. PR also is not the same as a Green Card. My wife had a US Green Card, and could get social security. A green card in the US enables military service as well. Thailand PR does not do that. This is why the majority of people don't even go for the PR…as it is not easily obtained. OA is the way to go…if you have 65000 baht a month income. Alternatively, deposit 800,000 and let it fester. Never had a huge problem with immigration. Documentation is not the headache people make it out to be. Standing in line every year, is the only problem.

Should not even be called a "Retirement Visa"

My question would be: if I make 80.000 in a foreign company, do they want to tax me on that? Because if they do, it is cheaper to buy an elite visa

I'm no longer waiting for GRANT LOAN because I earn $29,700 every 10 days recently
