I carry some cash just in case my phone run out of battery or mulfunctioned and unable to pay with QR code scan or True Wallet.

The pink card may not be very useful but I wouldn't say it's useless. I managed to open a new bank account at KTB with yellow book and pink card without a residence certificate. Now you need a KTB bank account to deposit tax refund from Jomtein Chonburi revenue office.

I make Moo Ping sandwich often. Recipe: 2 slices of toast, Moo Ping, McDonald style steamed egg learned to make from youtube, Bar-b-Q sauce. Optional: cheese, chopped onion, lettuce, tomato.

Normally when I scan a QR code to pay, the payment is a direct debit from my savings account. I noticed since April 26 some, but not all payments were charged to my Bangkok Bank credit card. This is something new and I don't remember changing any settings on the bank app. The charges were from different stores. Fascino, HomePro, Power Buy etc. Anyone has the same experience?

The best we can do is to ask questions, get all the facts from all available channels, and make an informed decision. As much as possible be on the safe side, avoid to become a victim.

your BOI email reply content is different from Royal Decree 743. The difference need to be resolved. Until then Royal Decree 743 is what I will follow. No tax exemption for same year income.

BOI e-mail reply may tell you that transfers of incomes in the same year are tax exempted for LTR-W visa holders, but the claim is baseless. When you dig deeper the only thing you can find is Royal Decree 743. Tax exemptions for all types of LTR visas come from Royal decree 743, which does not cover income in the same year for LTR-W visas. I will not base my tax planning on an unsubstantiated statement from BOI. I am transferring only incomes from the previous year.

Talk to SCG Homes. My Pattaya house is in a mostly farang moo ban. SCG Homes installed my neighbors new roof over the new kitchen and also replaced the old roof over his patio. A big job done right.

Plan 1 has a maximum benefit per disability of 2M which is above the $50,000 BOI requirement, so Plan 1 is acceptable. BOI does not care about the deductible, it can be any amount of your choice. I bought the policy just to meet LTR visa requirement, so I picked the highest deductible at a lower cost.

I am happy with the brand. May be they have changed the content? Try another brand. There are many to chose from online, used to be only two or three sellers.

I don't have a US phone number. OLT.com does not require a US phone number, I hope that won't change. I have not tried Taxact.

From my experience in Nov 2023, it took 6 days from Step 4 to Step 8. The day after the status changed to " Consideration by Gov Agencies" (step 4) I was requested to submit insurance certification. Almost immediately after I had submitted that, I receive a request to submit insurance policy. 4 days after that I was able to make an appointment online to get the visa.

I didn't shop around. I bought health insurance for LTR visa from AXA, the only company I called. The premium depends on the insurer's age and the deductible. In the picture below , Plan 1 with 2M maximum benefit is good enough for LTR visas. I needed at least 10 months left on the policy at the time of visa approval, so I started the application without health insurance, and bought the policy when BOI asked for it.

I would have send Form 1040 and the check via FedEx to IRS Austin street address, but only if I can't file 1040 online and pay online. To file online with a US phone number:Free file fillable forms. without a working US phone number: olt.com. simplest way to pay online is by IRS Direct Pay.

You need to deal directly with NT, make and appointment to install fiber optic cable and the condo front desk will charge you 2500B for hooking up to their meter room cable. Go to their office across the street if you have problem with the front desk new staff.

There is a utility room or meter room on every floor next to the elevators. TOT tech ran fiber optic cable above the ceiling along the hallway from that room to my condo. 2500B was paid to the front desk, receipt issued by VT. The fee is the same no matter which floor you are on. I've just checked my record , it was in August 2020 when I was remodeling my condo. My crew worked with TOT tech to have the fiber optic cable run into my unit , and have the cable in the wall (not on the wall) of my living room. I have double units at the corner.

Don't know about VT2A, my condo is in VT5D. I paid 2500B to run fiber optic cable from the utility room to my unit in 2021. TOT, which is now NT is the only choice. Once you have fiber optic cable connected to your unit, you can pay yearly for the service.

This is what I got from AXA in November 2023. Their Easycare Visa Plan. Plan 1 : 2MB per disability. Plan 2 :4MB per disability. Plan 1 is enough for LTR visa.

This is interesting. https://www.livemint.com/money/personal-finance/if-you-buy-gold-etfs-you-can-get-physical-delivery-of-gold-11587013567895.html

right. Instead of gold EFT, you should buy solid gold, have your elephant haul it back to your cave.

You don't have to buy barrels of oil to invest in oil. You don't have to hide gold bars to invest in gold. https://etfdb.com/etfs/commodity/gold/
