yep you began with it's IDIOTS!

anyone choosing to do drugs should be examined to see why they are that screwed up iMHO plus like what am I "logically" buying that funds criminals?

I was under the impression that the Immigration regulation on the 90-day report after returning from out of the country was required to be done in person - maybe to do another tm.30 even though it is the same location that an expat may have been using forever.

Too many greedy people hoping to cash in! The pushers are making so much money they don't don't even care about those mules caught IMHO.

if you read my comment, I didn't ignore nor forgive the USERS as they are the ones funding the pushers! why is it Total BS as this was stated as MHO anyway, you don't have to agree with me as I couldn't possibly care less what your opinion is either.

IMHO, until the governments of the world determine that drug sellers are equivalent to murderers and in most cases probably serial killers and can charge them as such and carry out punishment, then it will continue because of all the USERS out there/here continuing to fund these criminals.

Oh another flip/flop, so what else is new?

I'm an American - US has the tax hooks in no matter where I become a tax resident too - I can get tax credits if I pay elsewhere as any American can do. Also the DTA with Thailand helps some Americans too but IMHO no way to totally avoid paying tax somewhere but realize some folks have done that for years here and now they are probably congratulating themselves by moving every 6 months or so to another country. As the Thais say - (translated ) be my guest/as you like/up to you.

when did you switch to the US and the lying as a national pastime - but that is almost solely the elected officials.IMHO

well I heard today on the US news that Boeing just delivered a brand new presidential plane! So I can't blelieve they will put everyone on that golden bird from qatar. IMHO before the end of this term he will have more legal problems than before it began as the public will be fed up with him and realize just how badly he lied to them while making the rich even richer and Joe Q. Citizen has lost everything.

IMHO,Boeing and the security experts won't be able to complete the rehab during his lifetime which most likely will be shortened by this term.

tell that to all the people who are about to lose their health insurance or medical benefits, plus those that have lost their jobs and those businesses having to close because they can't get stocks. Meanwhile taking an oath to preserve and protect the US. Constitution is totally alien to him although he has taken that oath twice. Unfortunately sanity hasn't prevailed since 20 January 2025. IMHO

IMHO so I am just guessing about all the unclear interviews/articles - if in the Thai language then the translator has a poor language translation abilitiy and if it was in English, then the original speaker obviously has some problem with the Enlish language. I have yet to see any interview written about that did not also raised as many questions as well as it provided very few answers. Speaking about finance issues, one would think that who ever is involved should have a clear idea of what is being said. Of course, many are politicians so they are well acquainted with doubletalk and speaking for a long time but actually saying very few facts about whatever the issue is.

also saving money could cost one if the value of that currency continues dropping! One can save money with tariffs because one refuses to pay more for everything that hasn't really increased in quality, only in value - cost. So as boss#1 says, 2 dolls or 5 pencils instead to wasting by buying too many! - that a quote.

IMHO only thing wrong in your first line is "almost" anything - don't have to put in the almost as the various courts are finding out as he flaunts all the laws and rules of the US Constitution plus blatantly using the office of the Presidency to enrich even further his family and the other rich people in this cabinet! Even worse is the fact that Congress is letting him get away with much of which is THEIR responsibility. The on again off again IMHO is being used by him and his rich buddies for insider trading as some have even been reported. The I guess next week we see him WASTE another 100 million dollars on the US Army parade, this to be added to the 300 million dollars wasted so far on his golfing dates.

especially IMHO when one is also a meglomaniac thinking he can end all wars in a 24hours, or raise tariffs on every country in the world and think that in doing so everyone will love and respect him! He was wise to put his believers (the rich ones) so they can't declare him insane and impeach him. If the democrats are able to take control of the house/Senate before his term is over, IMHO they will impeach him.

First I blv was my country - USA - I recall that day a few years ago but was able to switch to the monthly income without any problesm as the State Department continues to cut overseas support for citizens - part of the overall govt support everywhere except in the Congress that continues to give themselves a raise every year and yet finds itself harder and harder to put together a budget that the government is unable to balance so the debt continues to zoom! Need to fire all of them IMHO and try to find some honest folks for a change.

if everyone would realize that this is an opinion forum and just accepts one's opinion without getting hostile then it wouldn't matter but it seems to me that when I express something that I include is my opinion, I get lots of strange replies and not so friendly yet those buttholes just seem to think that their opinion is the only one that is accurate and from what I have seen, what ever does come out from the finance folks seems really weird wording and then the writer of the article throws in some bits from last year or so. Just like the current "drafting" for Royal decree now - none here really have any accurate idea of what it will say nor if many will be happy or not. But IMHO the country is broke, wants to do some more freebies, and must find some extra baht from some place and I think they will be looking at expats as tax residents for sure. That 180 days for this year is rapidly approaching - they may wait until that magic day to provide us with their latest wisdom.

OECD members want countries wishing to join to have a "robust" and inclusive pension plan that provides sustinance for the older crowd - 600 baht a month is stretching to think people can actually survive on that alone. OECD also helps countries to develop their pension plans, if interested google " OECD and pension plans for membership".

Wow! That is a lot more than we needed...but the list and problems we had getting US immigration approval to go to the US for wife just after Afghanistan fell. Immigration had a backlog of over 500K folks and could process about 3500 a month only. Took us just over a year and we were doing it just to take daughter back for accepted college but due to the immigration wait, daughter decided to go to college here in Thailand. Hope the rest of your process goes well and more quickly!

the ups and downs you mean? Yeah, being manipulated with his rich cronies for insider trading i.e. just like his new justice minister sold 1 million and bought back a short time later as he announced a pause in tariffs so she spent 1-5 million buying it cheaper just so she could get even richer. Also being done within the Congress...i.e. MTG got caught doing it too. And the market still hasn't gone back up to the height when Trump assumed the office in January.

I'm US with a daughter here and I am not sure if there is any different requirements but did you do or is that necessary under UK rules - a consular overseas birth certificate which is also what I needed to get her a US passport?

YET! IMHO and that of the economic experts.

How about retiree, forum opinionated?

since they give their citizens a year, if one does have a retirement visa then a monthly deposit here from a pension of 65K for the next 12 months, one could change from the 800/400K retirements since letters from the embassy validating pension will cease in a year. Just saying.
