reply was to tug about parenting skills. not sure why it came ou t on your msg.

never had kids as her step children were all HS or college

as it mentioned above, even in her home district of LA they didn't like nor support her

Even in some developed countries i.e. Italy, one can be held responsible for the family of one killed by a drunk driver. Not sure how many other countries have a similar law or not. As for Italy, I know this was the case many years ago as a co-worker hit a guy that was crossing a road at night in a rainstorm. Lawyers eventually got the co-worker out of that but he still had to pay quite a large sum of money.

NO 90 DAY REPOTS ON LTR

Yeah, based on what my friends back in the USA are discussing about spending, is much closer to home now a days especially with this election which no one thinks will improve the economic outlook no matter who wins. Many folks are just planning on moving to a cheaper area as the housing in too many places is just too expensive - I saw a youtube bit on that very subject too. In many of the larger cities, houses are costing a minimum of 1 million USD. Not a lot of middle income folks could ever afford that and they mention that the middle class is just about gone today. I think until the world economy gets back on track (if ever) not too many westerners will waste their time or money on Thailand. My opinion only of course.

Suggest then that you read the Thai govt revenue dept about being a tax resident in Thailand - having to pay tax on any assessable remittances or monies earned in Thailand.

So, please advise the freedom of this visa - for example, can a person on retirement (any type) stop keeping 800,000 or a married guy (400,000) no longerr need to have that money in the bank and just go out of the country and walk back in on a 60-day every 2 months? no more 90-day reports or tm.30's? sounds weird to me. I have been here a loooooooooong time and just wondering.

According to some that got/get free golf green fees, and if one play a lot of golf (some courses have lights and open at night too and I once a member of such a course played 3 rounds many days and at least two rounds every day) then it might not be such a bad visa. If one can afford that visa, then why should anyone else complain? That person is not making anyone get a particular visa which is the choice of every person based on qualifications and meeting all the requirements of a particular visa. I have previously been on a retirement O for 20 years, accepted the reporting requirements, yearly extenions of same and finally realized that the LTR fit me much better so switched. That is the option of each of us and if taxation continues to evolve depending on the government, we also have the option of leaving or accepting whatever comes down be it permanent or temportary. Good luck to all and hope all get what they deserve uh earn.

Yeah, thos that get the DTA nowadays (since it came out after June 27) can remit money/spend money earned without a problem (unless of course they were here prior to 27 JUne and depending on how many days) since unless they are spending more than 180 days during THIS calendar year, are not tax residents of Thailand. However, depending on all the dust settling, unless some new guidance is provided on the DTA, once any of the holders stay over 180 days in one calendar year then they will be Thai tax residents and will not be tax exempt on earnings. Good luck to all. enjoy it while you can.

well when I was in Angola the poorest people had "money to burn" literally. I jogged daily and would see local paper money along all the sidewalks, some with scorch marks some like new bills...upon asking the locals why, they woudld answer to cook food or warmth when it is cold as it has no monetary value. Ah, yeah I think Thailand must be getting close to that financial situation too...and that is why I think the Thai taxes on world wide income will probably come next year. Nothing but dire economic situation reports daily these days.

not sure all the new dtv users understand the definition of a Thailand Tax Resident YET because many of their posts seem be unaware that over 180 days in thailnd during one calendar year makes them a tax resident and if they remit or have assessable income they are supposed to pay tax unless it is exempt for some reason.

yeah, I did the retirement o for 20 years and then got the boi LTR which is perfect for me. If they continue putting out new visas they might eventually have one that is perfect for every person.

doesn't putting smaller tires mean that the speed and odometer readings will vary? I am not a mechanic but I recal it used to mean something different.

well just the other day they announced 19 million tourists so far this year....however, the money folks say that the amount of money recvd from these tourists is below what was expected.

guys can't do math or they don't unbderstand what makes a foreigner a tax resident according to the Thai Revenue Department

well I have been a forum user for a few years and am amazed at all the confusion among the users and no matter the subject either, quite intertaining to say the least. Good luck to all.

residency according to the Thai revenue department is 180 days in Thailand during a calenday year. If you exit and turn around in a couple of days, you are over that limit of being a tax -resident"

I am unsure of your math but 179 plus 179 in ONE CALENDAR year means one is a tax resident! or do you mean 179 then wait 6 months enter again stay 179 days leave and then wait again 180 days enter again...juast asking and if they go to a world wide income taxation what will you do? again just wondering. Have a good one

accordng to some of the users of this forum when talking with immigration say the io said 1900 baht extensions only as many times as user wants in the 5-year period

read one note that he is still p'o'ed about the Dem party anointing Hillary in 2016 instead of supporting him and that is why he is being so stubborn about dropping out this time. But hopefully he will wake up one day soon and maybe they can get a better candidate that could possibly win against Trump and not the brayer.

In the benefits package for my LTR, there is a note in red color vs b&w that states that with any Thai visa the qualifications and requirements remain the same throughout the term of the visa. Just quoting this and easy enough to find.

As I have mentioned several times on this issue, I am not by any means an expert nor do I claim to be about any of the benefits of a new visa in Thailand - but based on what IO continue to see others are writing and claiming, it seems to me that they are guessing as much as I am...but no matter what the govt does with this particular visa I don't care as I have my visa which I felt and still feel is best for me and my situation. Others I hope are happy with their choice.

just quoted the boi ltr benefits re work permit...I have an ltr but to me retirement means "no work" and I really don't care if one wants to work here or not and for most of the things I see on this forum when folks make statements, some times it seems to me to be guessing based on my reading of the materials on that activity. Just saying...have a good day.

LTR visa holders can get an "online" work permit if one wants to work
