ArickChaiyaphum

I just drove back from Chiang Mai it's dead dead dead we were the only people walking around the airport Central. I would have to agree with another comment on here sitting on my floating duck in my own pool watching my thoroughbreds in the pasture here in Chiayaphum. 

Since when does money for income on these visas have to be from abroad??

Has Nok red wine just gone up in tesco from 469 to  539 if so why?

NO!!!! Unless you look like an extreme homeless bum

What nationality!!

Just do 90 days exempt and be done with the KE

Of course it could not be obtained for the 3 million baht investment now.

But not any problem at all to get one for the 10 million baht investme. It can even be applied for at immigration if on a tourist visa or visa exempt.

entry. See: https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_85

Well I should go all the way to Bangkok and find him and ask???

it can not be done anywhere else or can it

Actually it was canceled in 2006 and anybody that was on one could still continue to apply for one.

From clause 2.5 of the the current police order.

There is no requirement for it be in a government bank.

Good luck getting the NON IM

What kind of project do you mean? Did you read the info on immigrations website I posted a link to earlier.

There is another category of investment done through the Board Of Investment (BOI)

Projects are what Thais call (condo buildings)   I spoke to a guy at the BOI that had worked directly for the general at immigration wattana that deals with 10m investment extensions. It seemed straight forward buyer agreement in a new project plus funds deposited in a Thai bank not less then 10 million.

you would have to go straight into wattana and ask directly and show him what you have as documents. 

The second year you may have to show income paid on that investment??? My investment was paid as a penalty fee to me every month until the condos are transferred. Meaning no income tax . I decided to just stay with a non B until I am 50. 

Before you get your extension on 10m investment your suppose to have a 90 day Non IM Visa 

How do you get that at an embassy they have Non idea what your talking about. 

You would have to have your 90’day tourist visa changed also at Wattana. 

I love this topic because it seems nobody has done it or they don’t bother being on here. I have been chasing this up for years. You have to go directly into watt ana Bkk and ask the director there and then confirm paper work showing transfer of funds into a new project etc 

Doesn’t happen much up here but god dies it down south in the tourist places

Based on how inefficient and incompetent they are, it probably does take that many to cut and butter the buns, and there is still a 80% chance it won’t be done right.
 
Hire 4 to haphazardly and lazily do the work of 1. It’s shameful.
 

Immigration doesn’t no visits on foreign hamburger trucks businesses in Phuket apparently because they do not have there company on land but on wheels or a rented lot????
What do the 4 thai employees do cut and butter the buns!

I assume that is for your Thai employees. Perhaps they want proof you actually had 4 Thai employees for the previous year.

If for you I think that is a normal requirement unless you are doing your first application.

Second time in less then a year. She could just be doing what her boss is asking her to do from Khon Kaen we handed in the certified withholding and social got the smile back. I would think it was more to check if I have been paying withholding tax on my 50k a month

Division 4 Chiayphum linked with Khon Kaen 

Even though you only need to summit the last 3 months of withholding tax and social security to immigration today they wanted the last years with of statements.

Even though Department of employment is straight forward. immigration is not!!

Think again before making business in this country

You need to have a WP3 or work permit already to get a Non B visa once you get a Non B you do not need A return ticket. The airline at your departing country could ask to see your visa if there is only a one way ticket.

You have lost me regarding wanting to buy shares in the company . Even if you own 49 percent of the shares it means nothing! If the embassy may also want a list of Thai employees. 

Entering Thai they don’t give two cents of what you own! 

not all rent is paid in advance - - but you know that. Expats tend to overestimate their own personal 2 cents into the economy. Thailand was fine before you were here, be fine when we leave... 

I am glad I did what I did 4 years ago. Only the next 5 to 10 years will continue to tell

The Canadian embassy. Has no Future plans of stopping certified income letters for retirement as of yesterday and no plans of changing in the near future. As for the UK and USA embassy I was clearly told not to bother and to use my Canadian passport.

I am just watching this space to see if The Canadian, Australia and New Zealand Embassy end up changing to.

Rental income I assume is a variable... if your tenant leaves tomorrow, where is the income. I would guess it would be the same with income from stock market as well,.. 

 Don’t assume rental income is a one off tenant.

So as of 1/1/19 Thai Embassy/Consulate are out of the income verification business. When I asked CNX Thai Immigration about this the other day they did not know anything about it. They (the big they!) also said that without USA Consulate income verification they will only rely on 800,000 (400,000 marriage visa) written certification by a Thai bank. I'm sure this will change for better or for worse. I would appreciate any updates.

I was told last week to not to use the UK passport and to just use the Canaduan passport and to get a certified letter from the Canadian Embassy Because I have a Canadian passport.

Immigration visited my business today, but I did not bother to go into asking them regarding my Thai tax return

I just found out that rental income is separate from employment income! I was not going to argue without.

There has been a few topics around rental income. Yes 30 percent was deducted from the total rental income amount, on the tax form 94.

So now is the question about a disabled non Thai relative as another deduction. Also using your tax return certified as proof of income for the retirement visa. I will ask immigration on the next visit. Has anybody else have info and first hand experience doing the above.

Interesting post right up untill you said "try to lobby thai immigration"

Yes, we would all like to know the answers on what they will or will not accept. Frankly- I would prefer the Embassy letter with backup proof as needed =
