    Extension of stay approval

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Ahh you have typo in your first post. 28 September should be august. I get it now.

    I would risk it tomorrow but now have already booked a slot at ford to service my pickup for thurs so f it.

    I will be really pissed off if they won't stamp me I thurs now. With all the money I've spent getting everything ok for extension could've gone out of the country twice for a visa ...

    Thanks for your input joe as always. Much appreciated sir.

    My due date is 20 sep which is this Saturday (closed) and Friday I have to travel north.

    Just got off the phone with immigration and was curtly told the approval is not ready yet. I guess I'll have to take a chance and go Thursday.

    I would think if the approval would be ready by Friday morning, Thurs afternoon shouldn't be a problem.

    One last hurdle and not have to think about my damn extension for a whole year kopun pejao!!!

    Personal income tax question

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Just checking if I did my research correctly.

    In order to apply for an extension of stay based on working you have to declare you are earning 50000฿ (European) if based on marriage 40000฿ monthly.

    40000฿ x 12 = 480000฿ yearly so tax exempt (under 500000฿)

    Am I correct?

    Also if you state 50000฿ on your work permit do you get taxed on that or on the actual payslip you get. Ie if you earn less or more money you would be calculate tax accordingly?

    Many thanks for your input

    Home Made Garlic & Herb Cheese

    I just use the milk that's available in the supermarkets.

    I've used Dutch Mill and Mejii, both give similar results. I always use the full fat milk (Dark blue top).

    Last time I made some, I used gold top, that was on special offer, but there was no real improvement in taste.

    I really do recommend you try making this, as it's really simple to make. The results are delicious, but the basic cheese definitely needs salt,herbs or something else to give it flavour.

    You can find videos on you tube, just search 'Farmers Cheese'

    Wish I read this yesterday regarding which milk to use. :(http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/733489-commercial-milk-for-hobby-cheese-making/#entry8384973

    Commercial milk for hobby cheese making?

    Just tried my first attemp using thai supermarket milk :(

    I was gonna go for Meiji milk then I spotted whole milk from chokchai farm. First time I ever saw it on sale and was ecstatic as I was sure it is superior from all the rave reviews I heard about it.

    But I guess they heat it too much to pasteurize is as it didn't coagulate.

    Poured back in the bottles and chilled for my cats lol

    Do you buy new or second hand car here in LOS?

    I prefer to buy new (but firs couple of cars were secondhand but purchased cheap and sold for profit). 1st new vehicle here is a Ford Ranger 2012 bought for Bt.700,000 currently for sale @ Bt.400,000..... Worst vehicle I have ever owned, the second being a 2014 Mazda 3 bought for Bt1100,000. Great vehicle so far.

    Reason for buying new instead of more secondhand cars is I can't save money for shit, I have a set amount I keep in Thailand every month with the balance heading off shore... So for me it is easier to front the 20% deposit than the full amount in cash.

    Why? I bought one last Christmas and well pleased with it

    I have to travel to pai from Isaan and checked google maps. My thai brother in laws laughed at me when I showed them the route. They travel frequently on work to the region by car and assured me their way is shorter and better .

    What should I go with? Google maps or the locals word?

    Work Permit Application regulations in Thai?

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    You must declare salary as it is stated in the work permit.

    My lawyer recommended 35.000 baht would be enough, that would mean 1.000 Baht in personal income tax / month

    35000 baht would not make you eligible to apply for an extension of stay either based on marriage or working though, am I correct?

    Also if one was to work and pay personal income tax for a couple of years and move out of Thailand, would you get any form of rebate back?

    Work permit on a non O visa based on marriage

    Thanks good to know - reason I asked is I'm starting work and was told by my company I would have to go to Vientiane and apply for non b visa to get work permit. I would have to wait for about a week "in order to take the labor permission document from Ministry of Labour to apply for your visa."

    I have told them I was issued a wp last year without any prob on a non o and I wondered if the rules had changed. Will keep thread updated
