  1. Felt I do not know, I read on another forum in Pattaya it is done... many threads on many forums will confirm that But there are legal ways as well, when you have worked in a different country from your home country and have built up private or governmental Social Security would be one of them In my case I am from Country A worked and lived in B at little income. but built up a 'annuity insurance' off shore, country C, where annuity payment is not considered as income nor taxable. Thailand is country D In neither of he countries I can ask for an 'proof of income' ... so was looking for an alternative
  2. I understand from posts that the Austrian consulate in Pattaya give income statements for VISA purposes to all nationalities Bit too far away for me and the Dutch embassy in Bangkok only confirms Dutch allowances known by the Dutch Revenue Department Is there a consulate in Hua Hin or Bangkok that provides similar services as the Austrian embassy? thanks
  3. I guess the same place we were in 1992 without the PC
  4. Cha am, same issue. Cannot even reach 1242 with non true line
  5. Expats that have worked here and/or filed before cannot escape, expats staying here on income are running the risk that Thai revenue department gets 'smart' and links-up with immigration ( i know stretching it a little bit, hehe) But as usual they invoke an existing (old) law but do not have the manpower to follow up as with all laws here so physical checks are something for the not so near future..
  6. Bangkok, need to bring the form and a picture as well? Just for a weekend
  7. My son has an ED visa single entry and we are planning a weekend trip to Singapore. Can he apply for re-entry at airport upon leaving Thailand similar to some other VISA extensions?
  8. Two of my colleagues, with kids, left in a hurry right before Covid blocked all kind of things. Both never cancelled their extension, nor work permit. Company did that for them while they were abroad. One of them returned in 2022 I think it was, no issues nothing
  9. I found that to be correct as well
  10. So what is the advise on the OP question on changing from Non B to DTV inside Thailand???
  11. One of the qualifications for a DTV visa is 500,000 thb in bank account. Is that for a limited time, like retirement, or for the period of 5 years And is there a multi entry option??
  12. I think it is a matter or interpretation between us, I read more or less what I stated. He will be taxed according the source country (receives credit for difference between (looking a locations) lower dividend and the Thai dividend of 10%.
  13. I am pretty sure that in most of these countries you pay (limited) dividend tax only. So a DTA has no impact here... When you transfer that money to Thailand (or any other country for that matter) than you will be subject to Income tax as per said country's rules and regulations...
  14. A piece from the Bangkok Post Expats in Thailand, meanwhile, have raised questions about tax treatment of pension income from past employment when that money is brought into Thailand. If this money is taxed in their home country and that country is one of the 61 that have agreements with Thailand to prevent double taxation, in theory there should be no problem. But debates about interpretation of the law are ongoing. Ms Kulya said that in practice, collection of tax on foreign income will depend on international cooperation and information exchange. Thailand is already a member of the tax information exchange group spearheaded by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

  15. Great. Thought the rules were the same. That's cool because I took the funds out lfor 4 weeks after final stamp. Thanks for this valuable information!!!
  16. I have the marriage extension go 400.000 thb. Sorry if I was not clear So are the problems similar to retirement extension or different??
  17. Thanks for the information. Could I also exit and return on evisa 60 days and then re-apply. I assume they will not give the family 60 days extension and the re apply?? So no need to leave Thailand..
  18. I understand you need d to keep the deposit in your bank.for 3(?) Months and not below 50% for the following months and back to full 2 months before extension application. What is the fine or punishment when you out the cash sooner than the 3 months after approval???
  19. Not sure about the costs, seeding is always an option I think, but then better to wait for near rain season as suggested??
  20. Thanks I will contact the shop
  21. No, I mean live grass sods/patches of, usually, 0.5 m2 a piece
  22. 800m2, purchased and laid by the same provider
  23. HI Anyone had experience with a gardner/plant shop that gives full service when buying sods?? Cha am - Huai Sai Neua
