I guess the same place we were in 1992 without the PC

Cha am, same issue. Cannot even reach 1242 with non true line

thanks both, clear now

Bangkok, need to bring the form and a picture as well? Just for a weekend

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?

That has nothing to do with this.  A work extension MUST be cancelled, even if you just let it run out, or leave without a re-entry permit, you still MUST cancel it.  If you don't cancel it, you likely cannot get a new long-term visa or new long-term extension until you do so, and will also be fined 500 baht per day for failing to do so.  There are also land borders that won't even let you leave Thailand if you haven't cancelled your work extension and don't have a re-entry permit.

 

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

There is no way to obtain a DTV "within Thailand" - must leave and go to a Thai consulate to apply.  We have some success reports from Vientiane and others.

 

I found that to be correct as well

So what is the advise on the OP question on changing from Non B to DTV inside Thailand???

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??

Not sure that's correct.  From the UK-Thailand DTA, Article 11 Section 2.

 

 

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%. 

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...

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).

What Immigration office do you use for your marriage extension? 

Cha am. 

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??

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..

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???

Interesting.   Seems like things grow so fast seeding would be so easy.  But if you have the money sod in the US stops the muddy mess quickly and looks great in a few weeks.  Best to amend the soil prior and make sure there won't be settling.   If any deep trenches try to water and settle those first. 

 

Really no different up keep than an established lawn.   Sounds like they just want your mowing, fertilizing, and herbicide contract.  

In Thailand do many homes use sprinkler systems? 

Not sure about the costs, seeding is always an option I think, but then better to wait for near rain season as suggested??

Thanks I will contact the shop

Update.

We visited a lawyer yesterday. He explained the best way to prevent an issue is to pay down the land loan

or, if needed, move the loan to the house. Then change ownership of land to daughter

That way the wife has no ownership of anything and nothing can be taken by the bank.

I think they understand the issue, the bank visit is theirs
