There is no website that has the EXACT TEXT you are looking for - partly because laws here are written in Thai language, partly because your words aren't theirs. If you want an English translation from the BOI site, explaining the exemption. It can be found here: https://ltr.boi.go.th/documents/Notification of Income Tax No.427 (EN).pdf Thai version here: https://ltr.boi.go.th/documents/Notification of Income Tax No. 427 (TH).pdf "Clause 2 A foreigner categorised as High-Skilled Professional, Wealthy Global Citizen, Wealthy Pensioner, or Work-from-Thailand Professional who is eligible for income tax reduction or exemption under Section 3, Section 4, or Section 5 of the Royal Decree issued under the Revenue Code governing reduction of tax rates and exemption of taxes (No. 743) B.E. 2565 (2022), as the case may be, must meet the following qualifications: (1) Be granted a Long-Term Resident Visa under immigration law, as the case may be; (2) Meets qualifications for and complies with rules and conditions on Long-Term Resident Visa as prescribed by the Office of the Board of Investment." At the bottom of the document... Issued on 26th August B.E. 2565 (2022) Lavaron Sangsnit (Mr Lavaron Sangsnit) Director-General of the Revenue Department Now - I know you wont be happy. - Needs to be on BOI website - OK! - Needs to refer to revenue department - OK! - Doesn't contain the EXACT words you need - aaaaawwww shucks So - the revenue dept, the BOI are singing from the same hymn book. Fill in whatever forms you like.

Yeah BOI officers, there's plenty of them - maybe that's why they have a location in Lat Phrao as well as CBD. As for the website. https://ltr.boi.go.th/ Maybe the BOI isn't the issue.

I will add on the BOI thing. I first dealt with BOI in '99 as I was part of a startup here. Then again in 2001, for a startup I created for a Japanese MNC. In both cases, BOI gave us tax exemption - I can't remember how long. In the 2001 case, they gave me an "unlisted" benefit - meaning a benefit that isn't in their guidelines. The benefit we got was an Alien Business License for a 100% foreign-owned entity. Saying the BOI don't understand taxes is funny. One of their main things is handing out tax benefits to new entities. The guy saying that BOI don't understand the benefits they are giving out - well he's just misguided. It's their job to know. The other part they know is how to qualify.

You are wrong. BOI officers are right. Hope this helps.

I will add - once I got my passport in hand - first question I asked the officed "so - no taxes" - and he confirmed. That'll be my defense in court anyway.

Good point But it was the BOI lady that pointed out the hole. I was with the agent and we just shrugged - wasn't much we could do. She told us the boss may reject it. Then she left to see the boss. She came back with a big smile. We all smiled - I couldn't believe a Thai official had overlooked an excuse to ***** a foreigner. I don't think the agent helped to be honest - but who knows?

Nothing to do with the agent. I had a hole in mine - the BOI girl pointed out it might impact approval. She came back with it approved - and we agreed it'd be better to get a new passport in BKK when I get back from vacation in Jan. That way moving the visa would be easy.

Yes - I used Baan Thai Immigration - I found them on Google, not via a recommendation. I CAN recommend them though. https://btisolutions.co/ - ask for Thitsana Cheers Pete

There's people online saying it's low class to celebrate his death. There's people online saying they are glad he's dead. I can understand both opinions. My own - if this man really did cause deaths by implementing policies to deny care that shouldn't have been denied - then I am all for it. If corporations can cause the death of civilians, then civilians are of course, going to cause the death of those in corporations.

I think that oversimplifies things. Just like people, dogs can have personalities, genetics, or past experiences that make their behavior unpredictable, even with great training

Yeah - that's all I had to do!

The doctrine of rebirth held that any human could be reborn as animal, and any animal could be reborn as a human. An animal might be a reborn dead relative, and anybody who looked far enough back through their series of lives might come to believe every animal to be a distant relative. - wikipedia

I miss the shoe queue

Yeah, really. Insurance - showed them my coverage. Bank account - only had to show a transfer of dividend for $100k Tax returns - wasn't asked.

It's OK to not understand dogs. But open displays of ignorance are rather gauche, don't you think?

Dogs are bullies. They start off barking and it emboldens them if they are not punished for it. Graduating to biting is inevitable. I have a dog - that I love dearly - but I would absolutely cull dogs myself if they needed a volunteer.

lolol Thank you Captain Obvious!

I didn't need for my wife - I bought locally... 😉

I thought that too - you can buy big cans of insect spray with a range way longer that the street pepper spray here. Me - I live in what's considered to be a Muslim area of Bangkok. Guess how many strays I encounter walking 12-18km a day round here?

What's with the "cannot say" thing - stop being so mysterious. It's such a rookie move. The reason culls don't happen is Buddhism. Plain and simple. It's one thing killing a dog. It's another thing killing your re-incarnated Grandma. There's no mystery here.

yeah - they'll be along to explain that culling doesn't stop them reproducing...

Aaah - ok - I am now educated!

Yup - I swear they walk you past the people queuing on purpose! The whole thing is kinda elitist. I'm not rich - but you can see they are going for the "business class" feel/exclusivity. I found that part a bit strange. A whole office for LTR?

It may help you one day. The seed has been planted. An ex-alcoholic - is someone over alcohol. That's a person that looks at a beer and thinks "f*** that sh*t". It is NOT someone that WANTS to "dip their toe" as you call it. It's someone that can comfortably go into a pub because there is no temptation there. Put it in the past where it belongs my friend.

Not all jurisdictions tax dividends. Depends where the company uis registered.
