'I use an agent", 'I rent' by choice,, doesn't cut it with me as a long term businessman.

More of an opinionated sex pat who loves Pattaya.

Anyway, live long and prosper.

I'd like to see your ' flat ' with water views .post a picture!😆

You do have a vivid imagination. 

 

I'm sure your kids are impressed with how your wealth, thus their inheritance, has been redistributed to your Thai wife's family.  

 

You OWN property "lock, stock and barrel" in the UK, but you certainly do not in Thailand, but that's for another thread. 

 

As for moving in different financial circles, I'm not sure what you mean about that.  I rent by choice.  I use an agent for my extension by choice.  I would never invest in an unstable 3rd World Country.  Maybe we move in different intellectual circles. 

 

Well, Pattaya Bay has been called a toilet, but it's still a nice sunset, and the nightlife and hospitality venues are great. 

 

I'm single, by choice.  I didn't come to Thailand to adopt an extended Thai family, like you did.  I leave once a year for the Singapore F1, and for important family events back home.  I am in good health, so international travel is no problem for me. 

 

Now, back to this tax issue, can you tell us all another 'Somchai TRD Office story?"  They are humorous. 

Mad as a wasp! 😆

Everything I do and have, relating to my Thai family of a ridiculous amount of years and as a thank you to the loyalty of my Thai other half, the houses were as a ' Thank you '

Everything I own in the UK is bought and paid for. My sons houses, bought and paid for. NO banks .

I have two sons, (one of them in Australia working for two years) who both have good careers and decent money.

So, You can blab on about tax threads all you want. I will not change my way of how I view it.

So, my Aussie friend, we all do things differently to suit our individual lifestyles.

"Bought and paid for" but you don't own the land they sit on.  Not very wise, and hardly something to brag about. 

 

No, but crossing a border is crossing a border.  It means you leave Thailand, does it not?

 

I rent a nice condo in Pattaya with water views and fast internet, and the balcony gets plenty of sunshine.   

'Bought and paid for'.

And that is for my Thai partner of 28 years, I had no intention of sticking the land on and aeroplane and flying the soil to the UK, it was always for my Thai partner.

Obviously, financially, you and I, move in different circles.

You rent a nice condo overlooking water?

Your property in Pattaya with ' water views ' do you mean it's overlooking the public toilets?

Well, I don't rent, never have, I have had properties I rented out.

Everything in Thailand and the houses in the UK is paid for,' LOCK, STOCK AND BARREL.'

Lastly, ' crossing a border '  I love getting out of Thailand once or three times a year, taking a break and enjoying other countries.

You live in gorgeous Pattaya?

Are you frightened that number 18 dancing, or the fat fifty-year-old bird you've been chasing, that told you she is a ' cashier '  is going to get another punter if you have to do a visa run, and be missing for four days?

I HAVE NEVER DONE A BORDER RUN.

Why you laugh at your own jokes?

You are a special kind of clown.

I stated that to move from Retirement extensions to DTV and leave once for a few days every six months is a very simple task. I certainly wouldn't be doing the famous ' border run '  for skint members.

Furthermore, I have four houses, bought and paid for in Thailand, I have a house in Siem Reap on long term rental, so it's absolutely no hardship.

You seem to be under the misguided illusion that I put myself in a jam packed minibus doing border runs.

So, you need to get out of your 5,000 baht rental room with your squat toilet and free Wi Fi and get out into the sunshine.

You are taking it personally.  No need to. 

 

If you are fine doing NOTHING about this tax policy because Somchai at the local TRD Office said you don't have to file, that's your right. 

 

Why troll other members who suspect Somchai has given you the wrong information????

No need to Somchai me.

I can assure you my reading, writing and Thai skills after 28 years are far in excess of yours.

Bye

Thread is DTV visas

Oh yeah, i get that.I just wondered if he actually meant he liked doing a one day border run as I thought that was very strange to like sitting in a minibus all day.

I use my own 4 X 4 to get to the border. I park up in the military car park.

Likewise, I then use prearranged transport in a 4 x 4 to Siem Reap, on my own., I pay $70 each way.

Not trolling. 

 

It's the main reason Thailand is attractive as a retirement destination, because you do not need to leave the country to extend your visa.  

 

One can retire here and never leave. 

 

Countries that force visa runs, such as Vietnam, do not get many expat retirees, when compared to Thailand, for this very reason.

 

I know some old geezers that can no longer wait in the queue at immigration and have to use an agent.   

 

Age catches up with all of us. 

Certainly caught up with you

Thanks for your report!

 

Out of curiosity if you don't mind, as I've only used that border crossing traveling in the opposite direction - did you pre-arrange transport from the border to Siem Reap or is it readily available at the border nowadays?

I pre-arranged.

However, there were guys touting for taxi business when I arrived there.

Do you mean you take a little holiday? or are you talking a border run there and back in the same day? cuz i don't see how anyone can think a  same day border run is a pleasure

Stay a week in Vietnam or Cambodia.

Life is about getting around.

Not or try not to be a rude man,

But guys,

You've got to read my polite answers to other posters.

Another one, asking if I am only spending 180 days in Thailand. So, this for the last time is a DTV thread.

Jaysus, I've explained multiple times. Not a tax thread.

So for my understanding you will now be spending less than 180 days in Thailand total for a calendar year?

No,

Read the thread, I am not going over it all again.

That question is asked and answered.

Are the Non-O and DTV both in the same passport?

They don't put a Visa for DTV in your passport.

You get an e visa through email, when the immigration looks at your printed out A4, which also contains your photo, you get a six-month stamp.

After, I think you are in the computer as a 5 year DTV, but additional back up is to carry a printout for airports and borders of your 5 year E visa from the MFA

No,

What I did is I have a retirement extension based on Non -O plus multi entry.

I have a Cambodian Visa as well.

I applied online for the DTV. It took three weeks and was granted in an E-visa via email.

That kicks in when I decide to use it.

So the DTV is granted and dormant until I utilize it.

If you owe nothing, then why not just submit the paperwork and get it done?  Honestly, if they can figure out how to use the tax form for the immigration funds, it might be a good thing, LOL.  Then again TIT

 

DON'T YOU NEED TO HAVE TAX SUBMISSIONS FOR PERM RES

I did say I went, and the local tax office were extremely relaxed and told me not to bother.

So, they obviously are not getting the MEMO.

I didn't understand your post in capitals, as I don't have permanent residency.

I have a retirement extension based on a Non - O,

I now also have a DTV.

My intention, is not to renew my retirement extension or multi entry permit.

On expiry, I will leave and re-enter on my DTV, which is now valid until January 2030.
