IMV this is exactly the kind of "clever trick" that tax authorities the world over - including Thailand - are keen to stop. Given that many expats will have DTA's in effect to mitigate some or all of their income, most will already have paid tax on assessable income and that there are reasonably generous exemptions here, the vast majority will have no tax liability here in any case and a lot of hot air, angst and suggestions of illegal activity is being generated that is pretty pointless.

I only used "..to buy a condo..." as a follow on to JimGant's post as he used that as an example. I agree the prupose is irrelevent. Both Alan and Bill have remitted funds to Thailand. The ultimate source of those funds is earned (assessable) income. That BIll does so by a circuitous route is, perhaps, exactly the sort of "clever ruse" that tax authorities the world over are trying to eradicate. PH

Absolute poverty: UK sees biggest rise for 30 years

The majority of those who voted wanted to leave...there is a difference. And if the same question were asked again today, it is extremely likely, purely due to fewer older voters (more likely to vote for Brexit) and more younger voters (more likely to vote to remain) being able to vote. In pure economic terms, Brexit has cost the UK billions. PH -

Ooh, you are going to woke hell for that. Truth is not allowed by the wokesters. I'm pretty woke, but agree with every word Doctor Tom said. PH -
Alan earns $50,000 in the US and sends the money to Thailand to buy a condo. Assessable? Bill earms $50,000 which he puts in his US bank account. He borrows $50,000 from another bank and sends that money to Thailand to buy a condo. Later, he clears the debt from his primary account using the money he earnt. Assessable? PH

And for how long will these "elites" live underground? Who will maintain their machines? What will they do? Read On The Beach, Neville Chute...published 1957. Or watch the film (1959). 60+ years ago, but still pretty accurate imv PH

Unless time is absolutely of the essense, then a day or two is pretty meaningless. The most important factor, usually (and IMHO) is how much arrives for the amount sent. If you have several options, it can be worth shopping around to check which is best at that particular moment for the particular amount you wish to transfer. WISE has a handy compare feature that will tell you which method ill currently be best eg: and PH

Why do people start topics that are utterly pointless? PH

Clearly you know better than the heaps of YT videos and my own experience. Some are open to new knowledge, others are not. PH

No knead sourdough does take time - but not yours. Very little involvement and tastes way better than any shop bought. Several YT videos for anyone interested enough Warning: Had to stop making it as I could down half a loaf while still on the rack cooling. PH

There is some confusion - probably not helped by incorrect phrases and words being used. If applying for your non-O Visa (Ie you currently do not have one and are here on some other permission), you need 15 days remaining on whatever entry permission that is. In following years, you apply for an extension of stay, not a new visa. This can be done up to the final day of your current extension (or, if for the first extension, the visa itself). PH
