Never ever underestimate the tax collection agencies anywhere in the world! If the TRD revises the law to tax individuals with foreign income, even if that income is not brought into Thailand, it remains to be seen. However, it is certain that the TRD will tax remittances from overseas for tax residents thus closing a previously existing tax loophole. I fully agree with comments posted by 'soalbundy' Saturday at 07:49 AM and at 09:29 AM and Monday at 07:01 AM. I am on a Non-Immigrant Visa, which I extend annually based on retirement. I am over 65 years old, married, with no children, and our relationship is stable. This is what I am planning to do: Transfer THB 800,000 annually and pay the tax, which currently amounts to THB 16,500 as my private pension is tax free in my country thus it regarded as assessable income. This will comfortably cover our cost of living expenses and the tax payable to the TRD will not break my account. On my wife's birthday, I will gift her THB 1,000,000, which is currently tax-free, for the purpose of replacing the vehicle(s), air-condition unit(s) etc. and/or corporate and/or government bonds - all in my wife's name. This would be in my opinion a legal way to keep the TRD off my back. Lather, rinse, and repeat. Your mileage may vary.

If, after you've done your homework, you conclude that it's the right thing to do, then go for it - up2u.

Response: [quote] maysim SIM cards can be deliver within Australia only. However, if your device is compatible to eSIM, you can purchase a plan to us and choose eSIM as your preferred type of SIM. What is an eSIM? An eSIM is a digital SIM you can download onto a compatible phone, tablet or watch. Unlike a traditional plastic SIM that you physically insert into the SIM card slot on your device, an eSIM lets you quickly download, activate and connect your mobile phone number to a cellular network." [\quote] Not suitable for my requirements.

I e-mailed amaysim, they and will get back to me within 2 business days.

I believe these cards don't have an Australian number

Aldi and Amaysim do not deliver Sim cards overseas. The SIM card provider would have to mail the card to my address in Thailand and payment including top-up payments would be made by either AMEX, Bpay or 'Pay Anyone'.

I no longer have any contacts in Australia. The SIM card provider would have to mail the card to my address in Thailand and payment including top-up payments would be made by either AMEX, Bpay or 'Pay Anyone'.

One of the Australian establishments I am engaging with is implementing a two-factor authentication system, which mandates an Australian mobile number for registration. The issue arises from my residence in Thailand, as the Australian establishment is unwilling to adapt the two-factor system to support an overseas mobile phone number. I need a SIM card with an Australian mobile phone number that can be used and accessed in Thailand, allowing me to receive 'push notifications' or SMS messages from the Australian establishment. I can provide a dedicated smartphone for such a card. The SIM card provider would have to mail the card to my address in Thailand and payment including top-up payments would be made by either AMEX, Bpay or 'Pay Anyone'. Are there any SIM cards available that meet these requirements?

There are plenty of accurate sources embedded into the Internet of which their content is virtually impossible to dilute. IMHO there are watchdogs observing this exact scenario; Gathering and then erasing history instantaneously at once may be the only option for AI but I doubt it very much. The schools anywhere only teach curriculum prescribed by their respective nations/states. And I dare say that none of programmes or courses communicate history accurately because of various individual, religious and ideological biases.
