Moving with child to Thailand
khunPer replied to KruPlum's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can get non-immigrant O-type visa as dependent, either spouse to one with a working permit or parent to a child studying in Thailand. If you enter as a tourist, you can change to an O-type visa while in the country. For work you'll need an B-type visa and to my knowledge you can only obtain that from abroad. However, if you already have an extension of stay, you "can change the reason for your extension to one based upon working, teaching and etc." Source link... -
Are you reliving your youth in Thailand?
khunPer replied to bignok's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Indeed I'm reliving my youth in Thailand – in many ways it's back to the happy late 60's and early 70's, but with smartphones to remember and selfie everything – and I don't weed to do it... -
You need to register as income tax payer at a custom office. You'll need to prove that you stay in Thailand for minimum 180 days in a calendar year and have taxable Thai income. You will receive a small slip with your TIN (Tax Identification Number). Before March 31st every year you need to fulfil your Tax Return Form, in which you in "Number 3, Assessable Income Under Section 40 (4)", first section find "Interest, bill or debt instrument discount, which the taxpayer is the first holder (if opt not to pay tax at the rate of 15 percent)". Here you can claim to be income taxed of your interest, instead of paying a flat 15 % rate of withholding tax. Today you need to state your Tax return online in Thai language. If it's relative small money, I wouldn't bother. However, in principle you are fully income taxable when staying in Thailand for more than 180 days during a calendar year...

You need for security reasons to be data-online by wireless phone connection, not WiFi. I had to disconnect WiFi, as that is preferred over wireless phone. Then I could register with my passport-number and OTPs. The screen started in thai language and could not be changed – I needed a Thai helper, luckily my daughter had already installed the SCB-app last year – and when registered the app can be changed to English language. After registration the app will work with WiFi.

Can they wait it out? If they can this would throw a unwanted spanner into the works. That's a big discussion and question in the news at the moment. Some news-articles have concern about the economics due to lack of a working government, others say that the outgoing Prayut Chan-o-cha government just will continue until May 2024.

This was posted earlier Seached a bit: Article 272 says that the power of the senators to vote for a PM expires in May 2024, which seems like however new senators are appointed – or elected – their seats in the parliament will not be included in vote for a primeminister... Article 272 states that for the first five years of Parliament under the current Constitution, the new prime minister shall be elected by a joint sitting of Parliament. The candidate must gain votes from “more than half of the total number of existing members of both Houses” to be successful. Source: Thai PBS "Article 272: The unmovable constitutional rock that wrecked Pita’s PM bid". Mr Jatuporn appeared to suggest, instead, that the pro-democracy coalition should wait it out until June 2024 when the Thai Senate’s voting rights will expire by law under Section 272 of the Thai Constitution. –and– A key factor in this equation ultimately is Section 272 of the 2017 Constitution which says that the power of the predominantly junta-appointed Senate expires after June 2024. Source: Thai Examiner "Jatuporn warns Pheu Thai may be turned as he predicts a political impasse. Should wait for 2024".

A foreigner – except US citizens – can only own 49 percent of a business. US citizens can own a business 100 percent under the amity agreement. You can however be partner without having a work permit, as long as you don't work, apart from functions as a board member-director. Normally foreigners will be shareholder in a company limited, which recently changed to that only two shareholders are needed, it used to be three. With preferred shares one shareholder can have a majority of votes, without majority of shares. Often a registered capital of 2 million baht is adviced, this sum is also a requirement for one work permit for an alien.

There has been shortage of normal milk (fat milk) for the last few weeks where I live; the day before yesterday it was sold out in two shops and only a few 830 ml bottles left in the third.

Nope, CP holds the 7-Eleven franchine, Family Mart is held by Central Group... Thailand[edit] FamilyMart opened its first store in 1993 and grew to over 1,000 locations within the next decades. In May 2020, FamilyMart transferred their 49% stake of the Thai joint venture to partner Central Group. Despite FamilyMart's effective exit from the venture, they maintained licensing rights and store locations retained the company's name. Source link, Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FamilyMart
