Lots of reports in here that some IOs insist on a printout of the TM30 registration.

I think you will find there are not many reports of immigration wanting a non existent receipt, that the online system doesn't actually print, how can they ask for something that doesn't exist .

The only reports I have ever seen comes from people not actually using the system, or agents etc, who have a vested interest in saying its very difficult, and best to use their services.

I administer 5 properties, report tenants online frequently, to date none of these tenants have been asked by immigration for a paper receipt.

Will I receive some kind of receipt so my friends can show this when they extend their visas at immigration? Any information would be gratefully received.

The online system doesn't really generate receipts or offer a way to print one. You can log back in and check an entry has been saved and screen shot/photograph it, BUT Its not really required as immigration can see the entry on their computer.

OP, if an online TM30 has been done, there is no need for any printout, immigration can see the TM30 entry on their computer system.

The land can be in the childs name, but a thai court or thai guardian will have the final say on any major things to do with the land, ie: a usufruct etc, and it would still be dependent on the local land office.

The land office are not stupid, anything that essentially gives a foreigner full ownership/control of land via a proxy thai, wont be approved.

I admit the increase to Jobseeker caught my eye. 

 

As for Labor fundamentals, well, as a party, they haven't looked after "the worker" like they used to for decades now.  In any case, what has non resident taxation got to do with Labor fundamentals? 

 

There's 1 million Australians living / working overseas at any given time. (link already provided)  I would think quite a high percentage of them are on very good money.  I personally know a few that are. 

 

One member says about 80,000 of them are pensioners, I put it at about 200,000 are pensioners.  Only the government knows the exact number.  Why wouldn't the government, even a Labor government, go after the 800,000 / 920,000 non residents for taxation purposes with a law that scoops up them all up, including pensioners?    

 

As for "no chance" do you think this is fake news?  Labor's Assistant Treasurer says it's in the government's "in-tray."  A little hard to ignore that statement from him, isn't it?

It's one thing to say "no chance" because of a possible increase to some welfare, but it's a completely different thing to address changes to a 90 year old law for non resident taxation. 

your link has a paywall

OP, it all comes down to design and planning, some condo blocks are built with a place for airconn units, and others its an after thought.

Also in Asia, balcony's have often traditionally been seen as utility spaces, drying clothes', aircon etc, not areas people sit.

A lot of property is bought and sold on facebook marketplace, or the local buy/sell groups on facebook.

The hose I am in now, I found on FB marketplace, and sold previous condo on FB

It has been 800k in the bank for as long as I can remember and I didn't just get off the banana boat!

Yes, its been 800k for a long time, but the seasoning, post extension amount and minimum balance etc has changed without grandfathering.

Retire visa is less documents but more money in the bank to qualify. Marriage visa is more documents, less money in the bank and you can work.

I suspect we need to have someone drop down dead in the queue before this is addressed. I do recall some years ago there was tented shade, and seating provided along with large fans with water vapour sprays, which cooled quite well. People will not want to lose their place in the Q to go buy water... no enterprising locals selling cold refreshments yet?

I was down there on Monday, there is plenty of shade, seating, fans,  even free cold water etc. For things like 90 day, res cert, there is no queue, you hand over your passport outside and return 2 hours later. a minimal queue to get inside to do other things.

A lot of property for rent is on facebook marketplace and buy/sell groups.

Userfruct is about access to a property, not ownership of a property. If you sign a document saying the property is not a marital asset, then its not a marital asset and not split during divorce. Userfruct doesnt change your ownership

Any contracts between husband and wife, ie: a userfruct, become null/void in the case of divorce anyway.

In fact:

 

Compared to BECK, Clapton just plays BubbleGum.

 

This is a fact.

 

 

No, its not a fact, its an opinion.

Compared to Beck, Clapton was always a Bimbo.

 

Anyone who has ever held a guitar knows this.

 

Clapton was the Bimbo.

 

Beck was the MAN!

 

 

I think if you looked up arbitrary comment in the dictionary, it would reference this post.

Its a personal opinion. I would consider Clapton a way better guitarist, at least he steps out of pentatonic scales now and then, and manages to play without a tremolo most of the time.

Clapton has sole, unique phrasing and is immediately identifiable, Beck is very good but mostly just noodles around in pentatonic scales with a tremolo, not much that is uniquely different.

Any of the options on the invoice involve a Thai bank. The Condo office would also accept cash. So long as you get the account details (swift code etc), you could transfer money from UK.

OP, google lists things that appear on the internet, if the goods, service, product have never appeared on a website, buy/sell site etc, it wont appear on any google search.

Also, there are several tools and advanced search options on google where you can filter results, specify language, location etc.

If you are shopping for a specific product then maybe Lazada or similar would be a better place to look.
