New Tax Policies: Sources highlight Thailand’s introduction of tax laws that impact foreign-earned income for expats who stay over 180 days, requiring them to pay income tax on foreign earnings, including pensions. This has been widely discussed in recent financial and expatriate news as a significant reason why some expats, especially retirees, are leaving Thailand Rising Cost of Living: Articles and economic reports discuss the strong Thai baht and inflation, which have increased costs for foreign residents. For expats on fixed incomes, this change makes daily expenses more challenging Shifting Demographics: News reports indicate a growing presence of Chinese and Indian tourists and residents in Thailand, which has shifted some expat dynamics. This change has impacted the culture and focus of local businesses, creating a different experience for Western expats Visa and Residency Challenges: Sources confirm stricter requirements for long-term visas and residency, including more documentation and fees, making neighboring countries with easier policies more attractive for some expats This information is drawn from a combination of current news articles, economic reports, and online forums where expats discuss these recent changes.
You wrote: "Visa and Residency Challenges: Sources confirm stricter requirements for long-term visas and residency, including more documentation and fees, making neighboring countries with easier policies more attractive for some expats". THIS IS NOT TRUE. Please do not spread false information. The fact is the quite opposite. Thailand has introduced their new DTV this year, Destination Thailand Visa, which is very popular. That is a visa which gives you 180 days each entry, a multiple entry visa, and it is extendable both within Thailand and at border crossings, for up to 5 years. You can in fact live 5 years in Thailand on this visa (with border runs and extensions). This visa is for digital nomads, and for expats learning Thai, or Muay Thai, attending cooking classes and so on, with their families. In addition, Thai Immigration have this year extended the normal 30 days visa free stay (visa exemption) to 60 days for 93 countries. Extendable with 30 days within Thailand. For longer stays, like visas based on retirement, the most popular visa, that is very easy to achieve. That visa has not been through any changes for many, many years. But they might change a couple of requirements on that visa early next year, but those are meant to make the visa EASIER to obtain, not harder. So all in all your information here is completely wrong. Thailand has the best and widest visa options in SE Asia. There are tens of choices, suitable for everyone. Countries like Vietnam and Indonesia do not even have a retirement program for longer stays. Malaysia has one for 10 years, but it is very expensive. Thailand has a similar visa, and they have several other long time options, like the Thai Privilege visa, LTR visa, and of course the retirement visa. As a retiree in Thailand, you can easily live as many years as you want in Thailand from 50 years of age, on a visa based on retirement, or the Long Term Resident visa, LTR. And using an agent can even bypass any money requirement for the retirement visa. If you are under 50, you can apply for The Privilege Visa, the Destination Thailand Visa, or ED visa, for longer stays. What might be harder to do though, is doing several visa exemption border runs repeatedly, and stretching them into a year, or longer. Those repeated entries are solely in the hands and discretion of your immigration officer. Doing border runs without a visa, I suggest using a visa company, going by their vans. Those are reported going through with ease. You will need a visa for longer stays though. You can get a METV, a multiple entry tourist visa, which gives you legally up to 9 months of stay, and even mix that up with a visa exemption or two. None of the countries you mentioned are easier to get long term visas, everyone should be aware of that. The grass isn't greener on the other side. Malaysia has become pretty strict too now. Maybe except Cambodia, which have more relaxed, cheaper and easier rules than any other countries in the region, but they don't have all the options Thailand has, and not at all the same living standard. Btw. I have been working as a visa agent (and for a law firm) for 11 years. so I do know a thing or two about Thai visas. For your information 😊

But the fact is that this new tax law has not yet gone into effect, and it is not implemented into any channels of authorities. It is, as of now, only a proposal for the new government to decide, and nothing suggest that they will approve and implement this new law for expats. There has been too many protests, they realize that they will lose a lot of expats and retirees if this is implemented into Thai law. So, this proposal is not a current law, nor will it be in the near future, is my guess, which is shared with lawyers and tax specialists all over Thailand. This is not a law before it is posted in the Royal Gazette, which has not yet been the case.
@@sarlina1 As a westerner living in Thailand and has been through many countries in Asia, you are bang on. This video should be removed for false information.
After Singapore, Thailand will be the next more better/faster advance developed living/transportation/safer situation and condition in Southeast Asia country and city especially in Bangkok. In term for safety are lesser pick pockets/theft/robbies with better safety prevention. If the expats/retired choose safety life and better mode of public transportation in Singapore and Thailand are the better choice compared to Vietnam/Cambodia/Lao/Indonesia/Malaysia. Malaysia now is the top choice for expats now compare to Vietnam/Cambodia/Lao/Indonesia because they have more better transportation like trains system in some state there but for safety life are still not very much safer there were/are still many bad incidents about pickpockets/thefts/robberies/accidents happening there if any expats did not look/check around there carefully just because they wants to safe more money for their living in those not very well developed Southeast Asia countries their life will not be more safer and peacefully for their long term living. Anyway, these are just my opinion only to choose for better safety life of living as in the video did not share and mention about safety left/lack out.
Thank you for such a detailed reply. I learned a few things from you. My only concern with what you wrote is that Singapore is much more expensive than Thailand and for people on a budget/pension, it might not be an option. Otherwise I completely agree.
I agree with you 100% on all points. After taking trip this year, I realized Thailans has setup a two tier system against farangs, taking an entrance fees, for example, charging 5 times higher than local. I also saw news where Thailand PM told Chinese that China is like a big brother to Thailand with polices of attracting huge influx of Chinese tourists. I went Pai, Chiangmai, Lampang and Bangkok and was confused whether I was in China or Thailand. I believe it is going to get worse.
Don't know if other countries have this, but specifically the US-Thailand tax treaty, signed in 1996 prevents all double-taxation, so if any Americans are afraid of that, just read it and you'll see for yourself.
Read it. That only covers you for the PERCENT that was taxed by the other party. If the U.S., for example, taxed you at 15% and Thailand has a 30% tax on the same funds, then Thailand can tax you that extra 15%. Perfectly legal under the Treaty. And that is what is going to happen in January 2025.
I have, here's a snippet, you can google it. In Thailand, expatriates receiving foreign pensions may be subject to income tax under new regulations that came into effect in 2024. Previously, only income brought into Thailand within the same calendar year was taxable. Now, foreign-earned income, including pensions, is taxable if brought into Thailand, with progressive rates up to 35% based on income levels. For pension taxation, there are two primary exceptions: 1. **Double Taxation Agreements (DTA):** Thailand has DTAs with over 60 countries, allowing for possible tax relief if the pension income is taxed in the home country. This often applies to government pensions, so checking the specifics of Thailand’s DTA with your home country is essential. 2. **Pensions Earned Before 2024:** It’s still unclear how to prove this to Thai authorities, but pensions earned before the policy change may be exempt. Tax residents (those in Thailand for over 180 days annually) are required to report such income. For further details, consulting with a tax professional or visiting Thailand’s Revenue Department website may help ensure compliance and avoid double taxation issues.
I heard that the new tax law was not drafted to get at farang money but rather to go after wealthy Thais doing creative tax dodging like offshore etc My 401, SS, capital gains from real estate and a tiny pension will be fine as Uncle Sam will have already gotten their hands on it (double taxation agreement). COL (rising globally, to be fair) and a strong THB are worrisome but my budget draft is still half in the land of smiles. As the famous meme goes, “I’m gonna come”
Malaysia is probably my favorite except for the cost of a retirement visa which was not mentioned, cheapest one is Sarawak which is close to 40k (after additional costs) invested in a bank there for 2 years can't touch it and only a portion of it available after 2 years on only what the Gov approves, not worth it for me. Mainland visa cost is much more expensive than this
Very interesting, thank you for sharing. I've not done any research into Malaysia, but it's next on my list. I'm currently working on 3 videos for Vietnam, possibly 4. Feel free to check back and correct me on the Malaysian ones if they need it.
Thailand currency has gained a great deal of strength against the $€£ The exchange is about 42% less than what the western tourists were getting 20 years ago. Vietnam is cheaper and so is Malaysia.

@TravelTriad24 you're wrong. We live here and we've gone to the Thailand tax office. The tax officers have confirmed, the so called new tax rules have not be come law and probably will not be passed. Social Security is not taxed and only cash transfered from your home countries to a thailand bank account would be taxed (if passed) don't spread misinformation
@@DavidWilliams-qr5yj Interesting and thanks for the comment. I have multiple expats telling me it's in effect and have already left Thailand. No idea what to make of it other than perhaps somethings changed.
I don't agree with you when you say on inflation! Is for something like Tax, visa , and 90 day report , is absurd that you have every 90 days go in office immigration for reporting this ! Two you have to pay everything thing ,a simple visit could cost you 100 Euro or Dollar! You not have the same rights than Thai people, you cannot buy the land ,you don't have right to get some loan and so on ! And after several years that you live there you have to make each time new visa , even if you are married! Thailand has a strange politics! OK! When you are a tourist, every thing seems amazing but when you live there there are things that are not properly so !
Yes, the 90 day reporting is absurd, but I do it online and it takes 10 minutes. So what? It's no big deal. Anyone who lists that as a reason to leave must have other problems. Who would change their entire life over something that takes less than an hour a year? Like every other country will be rainbows and lollipops? Every country has their idiosyncrasies.
Thailand is not forcing anyone to move there. Do your research and if you don't like Thailand's policies, go somewhere else or stay in your own country. I strongly support Thailand's policy of not letting foreigners buy land there.
To be honest, this is something you should ask Thai immigration as things can change at the blink of an eye. I'm seeing conflicting information on the Thai official sites on this one. I hope that helps.
