Hi Scott,
Another question relating to your answer. What if you made the profits from your investment on eToro while in Thailand and would like to have it transferred to your Thai bank account? Is it necessary to still pay & declare capital gain tax?
you can find the answer to your question in my original reply.
anyway i am not a tax expert, for more details you better contact a thai law office, they
might reply few emails for free.

The chance of someone Aged 50 and under catching/dying of cov-id is extremely small, they have more risk of dying in a traffic accident
-The NHS is at the same capacity/patients as last years....SO STOP SPREADING LIES. Most people are going into NHS hospital for something else BUT are tested positive for Cov-id19.
-The main problems are arising from the fact nurses have to self isolate if they test positive (staff shortages) etc
maybe it is you who is spreading lies.
the whole problem in the u.k. started because of people like you, who did not want to believe
that the danger is real. as simple as that. the british government did all the possible mistakes.
and if you think that the chance of someone over 50 catching or dying from covid is slim - than
go tell it to boris johnson. he also thought so and he did get it and he did get to intensive care unit !
you say that most people go to NHS because of something else but the main problem is
that the medical stuff gets infected - than you contradict yourself, because if there is no
covid problem and it is not so deadly, than the nurses has nothing to worry about. so why
wont you go the england and visit all your favorite bars without a mask. show them what a hero u r.

what normal and what spring?
if you mean the new normal, than it means the corona will not disapear by spring, unless
you mean next year spring.
i am not spreading mongering lies. i spread what my friends told me. they know the health system and
they see where it is headed. there is a difference between how the regular person see things, and
how a proffesional see them. it takes just a bit more than usual seriously sick people to collapse a health system, and than it all collapse like domino. that is what happaned in italy and spain last spring.
U.K. is not there, but could get there very quick, in a mattar of few weeks, if the current lockdown was not
determined.

thailand must keep it closed and disciplined until the vaccination will start.
it is amazing to realise how fast this virus moves.
just 3-4 weeks of losing control, and a whole country health system can collapse, resulting in tens
of thousands of deaths.
but the good news are that the vaccines do work. another few months and it should all be over.

He said that if anyone knows of any illegal gambling dens in Bangkok they must inform the police.
this reminds me when former thailand prime minister taksin shinawatra famously said "if you know anyone who cheat the government you must inform the police".
IN the end, as we all know, it was him who had to run away from the police, until those very days.
anyway we all feel more relaxed now that we know that there are no illegal gambling dens in bangkok. at
least this corner is safe, at these dangerous days.

truth is that the situation in the U.K. is very bad, and reminds italy in march 2020.
the health system is on brink of collpase, hospitals
are full of sick people, also young, and ambulabces do not respond to calls anymore, or come very late,
the lockdown is for unlimited time, and some experts say only next year, yes, 2022, U.K. will come out
of this mess.

Anyone who stay in thailand for more than 180 days in a year, regardless of the visa or no visa , is
considered a thai tax resident .
than you must pay taxes on any income generated in thailand, but NOT on income generated outside
of thailand. so if your eTORO account is not in thailand, you do not have to pay taxes in thailand on
your profits from this account, and also you DO NOT have to report on your account or activity there.
however, if you bring those profits to thailand IN THE SAME YEAR you earned them, than you will have to pay
taxes on those profits in thailand.
for example, if you earned 10000 USD on an investment which you bought on october 2020 and sold in november 2020, and you sent those 10000 USD to thailand in december 2020, than you will have to report and pay tax on this gain.
but if you just waited few days and sent the money to thailand on january 2021, than you will not have to pay tax
on this gain, because you earned it last year.
this of course opens the gate to many interpretations and arguments.
and finally, i advice to you NOT to trade on eTORO. much better and safer platform is AMERITRADE. they
just opened recently the door also for residents of thailand.

it is all about saving face and looking smart in the eyes of the desperate people.
tourism all over the world is not going to recover for the next 3-4 years.
they know it so they will say - ohh no worry, it is all part of the plan.
problem is that thailand is allready invested heavily in tourism.
there are 2000 shopping malls in bangkok alone, most of them serve and survive
on tourists. now without tourists many of those shopping malls will collapse,
very big problem for thai economy and japanese investors.

the only reason this mutation was discovered, is because the U.K. has advanced
sceintists who conduct serious tests for any new kind of virus.
if they would just let it go, including more relaxed on the testing, than
this whole mutation crisis would never even happan, and within few weeks
the whole U.K. would be vaccinated and it would all be over.
but no, they have to check and investigate anything that moves, those british, and
not here is the result - TRAVEL BAN TO THAILAND !!

something the NHS can only dream about.
you should go to a NHS hospital and see for yourself.
i know from many reliable sources that the hospitals in U.K. and other countries
in similar situation are NOT ON THE BRINGE OF COLLAPSE.
there are many interests involved and some health authorities exagerate the situation
to keep themselves busy.

K has made many, many critical errors. UK people behave like idiots with them going to crowded pubs, partying and breaking no travel rules. In the UK, they protest outside hospital filled with sick and dying Covid sick shouting Covid is a hoax.
the U.K. was right all over the way.
the virus is real but the pandemic is not.
you do not close a whole country just because of few dead people, who would die anyway
in this time of the year (in no country there were extra cases of death, means that covid is not execptioanlly deadly).
anyway now the drugs companies are conducting a mass medical experiment on millions of people , and soon we will know the result - if this whole covid is over or just the beginning.
i am waiting, anyway, to see what will come out of this vaccinations.

Utter nonsense. Why on earth should the UK sacrifice it's own economy and the safety of it's population for the global economy? The cost to the UK economy of another lockdown, far outweighs anything they have gained from the keeping borders opened. When bigger economies like the USA, China, Japan, all closed it's border your argument fails.
EVEN if they did have to keep the borders open - why not put measures into place to prevent infections, mutations being imported into the country? No testing before departure, no enforced quarantine programmes, nothing.
Let's face it - they bungled this from day one. Boris Johnson missed 5 Cobra meetings regarding the virus. They went for a misplaced 'herd immunity' trajectory in the first instance, then realised it would be a catastrophe so backtracked. They kept the borders open as the virus was already way too high in the community. They said there was no need for masks. It is said they were averaging some 100,000 infections a day at this point. However, by locking down for 3 months they got the virus numbers down. The economy is wrecked - the largest fall in GDP from any western country. At this stage, with numbers down, they should have closed borders, and had an effective track and trace system. Instead they kept the borders opened and wasted 15 billion dollars on a track and trace system that was nothing more than a call centre. They then encouraged people to get back to work, eat out, go on holidays, and the virus returned.
The UK's borders are still open. Any new mutations are flowing in freely.
Ammy you speak true words of reason. I would be happy to meet you in person for an additional discussion of this very important subject. if you are under 30 and covid-19 negative, please message when available.

2 minutes ago, AmySeeker said:What i don't understand about the UK's response to the virus :
1) Why on earth at the start of the virus did they simply not just close their borders? They have a HUGE advantage of being an island - like New Zealand, Australia. They also could see what was happening in China, then Italy. It didn't take James Bond to realise this was serious.
2) Why during the height of the pandemic were they one of the few countries who kept their border open? I was shocked people were travelling from the USA, India, even China (!), straight onto British streets.
3) Why does the UK not enforce it's quarantine programme? I know so many who arrive in the UK, and are out and about straight away. Imagine doing this in Thailand or China - you will be locked up.
4) Why is their borders still open, despite over 50,000 infections a day !!!
5) Why do they not have an effective track and trace system?! If you catch covid in Thailand, they trace you back to a milisecond of your life. In the UK i am told it's simply a polite phone call and once again NOT ENFORCED.
Ridiculous.
the U.K. could not allow closure of the whole country because of the severe damage it can cause to the economy, both the british and the global economy.
U.K. is a hub, an economic superpower, and any delay in the u.k. will be felt much more painfully in the
provinces, i.e. new zealand and australia.
and the thai track and trace system is not effective at all, it is just a shop for the people. acctually
U.K. has so many cases because it does so many tests. if thailand will start mass testing many more cases
will be discovered. thailand - and other asian countries - policy is NO TESTING - NO CASES, and i am not sure it is a bad policy.
instead in the U.K. - and other westrn countries - they over test, and the result is OHH MY GOD SO MANY
CONFIRMED CASES - but truth is that mose of them are assymptomatic or with very light symptoms, few days
and it is over.

Britaine is in dire situation, with more than 50,000 infected today.
but the number of mortals is not so high.
so maybe they should check less, only the symptomatic ones...

Just now, Mai mee said:It's not for the casual holiday traveller.
well i am a casual holiday traveller and thailand needs me to revive the tourism
industry, but hey, do not push it too far thailand. who will come with all those
crazy requirements?
i have absolutely no problem staying in quarantine, also not with the corona tests, but all those
additional rules , like insurance only from thai company, and contradicting messages from
different authorities, and than another two tests while in quarantine, and fit to fly non-sense...all
those things make me feel unwellcome and more like subject in harsh dictatorship than a potential
holiday maker, so i think i will save my hard earned money for a more relaxed country like costa rica or panama or mexico, where there are no requirements at all. just bring your passport and enjoy.

thanks for all the helpfull information here, but i think i will skip thailand for now.
it does not sound like thailand really want tourists / long term visitors .
as usual the requirements are contradicting and the one who will pay dearly is the unsuspecting farang.
i asked with one embassy and they said no need for thai company, but now i read here this rule was changed in late december, and who knows what change will come in late january....
first i have to pay for overpriced hotel and flight, than ask for the embassy COE, and if the embassy will not approve than go cancell the whole bookings, while i still try to get my money for cancelled flights from april.
if anything goes wrong with the corona test or the FtF CERTIFICATE (WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?) than
again i lose all, if not money than a lot of stress and energy, and for what? anyway within few months
of vaccinations it will all be over and back to normal.

i once went shopping for laptop in thailand with the same requirement, it took me few weeks to find only one kind of model , HP , with only english letters. i bought it just for that reason, and it was a mistake. the machine
broke down quickly.
i think that all APPLE shops in thailand have only english laptops in stock. but i do not like apple.
otherwise, your only option is to fly to hong kong or singapore and buy there the only english laptop, allmost in every shop.

It's almost impossible for anyone to come to Thailand right now ?
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

SIR, why is it so hard for you to get that those are unusual times?
you still thinking about staying 7-10 days at each location?
dont you think that you might also get infected with all those moves?
if you really come for tourism,. just wait few more months, whats the rush?
