Thai woman in Belgium, what about taxes?
After 6 years, my Thai wife finally came to Belgium via a d-visa. Already registered in the population register and now holder of an f-card. We were already married since 31-1-2012 in Bangkok. So now also a proof of family composition brought in at work.
Am planning to settle in Thailand in 2019 as a retired state civil servant from Belgium. What about annual taxes? I currently live in Spain and pay my taxes in Belgium every year as a non-resident. What about when I will live in Thailand, will I have to continue to pay my income to Belgium (pay about 54% in taxes)? By the way, we are in first place when it comes to taxes or will I have to pay my taxes in Thailand from now on?

I am a retired Belgian civil servant living in Chiang Mai. Every month I pay a generous solidarity contribution to the deplorable Belgian economy.
