Well I and many others have stopped transfers and are running down existing funds until there is definite clarification

I thought that was a job reserved for Filipinos

Please expand on this

The Thai welfare system does not support any non-Thais. We do not qualify for benefits of any kind

Is he Swiss ?

Some have never taken them off

Even if you got the business up and running, you would need some kind of work permit even for talking to customers. And pretty sure that your business model is reserved for Thais only.

Pretty sure it was also reported that Songkran in CM will be alcohol and tobacco free, That will really bring in the tourists

About 35% of it. So will Immigration accept the monthly transfer amount as before or after the tax deduction ? If after, then the 65K would need to be more like 100K

Well not by using any information they pile up from 90 day reports. They have no idea how to contact you if they needed to

Does the Thai government or tax authority understand this ?

Public hospitals charge mainly the same for everyone although, as you have found, waiting times can be considerably onerous. Private hospitals certainly have a tiered pricing system, Thai or non-Thai. And you will be seen quickly. Whether you are on a 30-day exemption or a 1 year retirement extension it makes no difference, you will be charged the (much) higher rate.

Nissan have also shut the dealership at Laem Chabang. Nearest option is on Sukhumvit between Naklua and the 36 roundabout. Tiny place with very limited parking available, went in to ask about servicing and all 3 available staff had no idea. B-Quik will be getting a lot more Nissan customers.

Best time to go to the big supermarkets is between 2pm - 5pm.

Is this the April Fool thread ?

Have we had clarification of "Employment" ? What most of us need to know is whether this includes pensions from our home countries Thanks

Hopefully sooner rather than later as I won't be bringing any of my pension over until the whole thing is finally clarified. Brought over a year's worth in December so can sit it out

So you would have to pay tax on all of your pension when it is sent here

At the moment....

Could he advise us on the upcoming tax fiasco that will start in January ?? Still no official clarification

Poor quality video. Most of it is very fuzzy can't work out who is who

They didn't win the last one

But not your current visa status. Hotel staff usually go straight for your latest stamp hoping to find you on overstay. 500 baht for grassing you up

I thought they read this forum (or at least this part)

Has the UK Embassy or Consulate arranged a meeting with Thai tax authorities to obtain some clarification regarding the new tax legislation ? It would be appreciated as we are currently in limbo. Most relevant would be regarding pensions and the double tax agreement. Does this exist ?? I would guess that well over half of expats living in Thailand have no clue or any credible information regarding this, which could become a major problem in January. Thank You
