No work permit required.
IF no work permit is required - will the smart visa holder be allowed to work?
very confusing all this.
how can you sign a contract with a company if you do not have a work permit?
and will the money you earn without the work permit will be taxed as work or investment or...what?

Amazing to see how the whole world is following the foot steps of white man legistlation, especially
the U.S.
U.S. say war on drugs - the whole world go to war on drugs, especially cannabis dealers (remmeber taksin war on drugs? 2000 thai man were executed within a month ...)
Now the U.S. say cannabis os o.k. - and goverments around the world are following suit.
Tomorrow U.S. say it is good to eat your sh*t (backed by harvard university sceintists)- and the whole world will start eating sh*t.

in USA and europe the average time of selling an average residential property is 7-8 months.
In thailand the market is not real because many properties are on sale by banks who have long breath lo list them for many years, in high prices, because they do not want to write them off the books as a loss.
you better check the financial advantage of buying a property vs. renting one.
is the renting cost is 3-4% as it is in most developed economies, maybe you better rent, and invest your USD in some low risk investment, like CD or U.S. bonds.
Even banks in cambodia are offering 6% on deposits for 3-4 years.
In thailand you might also consider the risk of devaluation of the baht, that might get to 37-38-45 bht to USD, and offset any rise in property price.

superior human beings
Indeed the god-like king is a major part of asian spirituality and the source for political structures with a strong, undisputed, leader, from the north korean kims and up to the man in the head of china communist party.
But really, we are not here to discuss asian kings and heads of states, a very sensitive subject indeed.
We are here only to discuss the corona restrictions and where they are coming from and why, so we can see when they are going to ease or disapear.

In your dreams.
This too long article was propably writen by farang who fail to understand some basic traits of Thailand.
First, we all must understand that the way this pandemic is being treated in each and every country is pretty much political, and of course based on coltural and even spiritual perceptions.
Second, the writer does not understand that in asian countries, and especially in thailand. the relationships between the ruling class and the people are similar to parents - kids relationships. the ruling class - or caste - see itself as the guardian parents of the people, hence need to worry about their health, nutrition ext. like small children, regardless if the children like it or not.
And last, need to understand that behind the fear from the pandemic there is a lot of political fear. the fear of the government to lose control, the fear of the people of riots, anarchy, even fear of the police and army taking things into their hands. that is one reason why thailand did not go for full scale testing. it simply cannot handle the truth, so why trying hard to see it?
To conclude, thailand is a fragile country with limited resources. In time of extreme crisis like this one, Better to let thai people to manage their country the way they see right. Let the thai authorities handle the situation according to their abilities and insights, they know Thailand better than
any farang journalist.

Assuming a normal year of 38 million million tourists a fee of as little as 100 baht would provide a fund of 3.8 billion
but this is not a normal year, and even if thailand will open doors wide open tomorrow - with no need for any test not quarantine, the way it is in mexico and brazil - still even 5% of the tourist will not come
-
My advice to TAT is to open thailand to tourism same same before, no need
for quarantine and no nothing. and see what happans.
they wil be surprised to discover that very few tourists will arrive anyway.
by the way; brazil and mexico are 100% open for tourism by air travel.
no need for test and no nothing. and no problem.
seems like this corona attacks mostly farang / gringos in cold countries.

Why do plenty of foreigners have rotten teeth?
It is because they like to give to their wives oral sex even in old age.

First, my advice to you is to do all you can to save a tooth, which means yes, go for the root canal and crown. That is an efficient way to save your tooh, and if done right, it can last a life time.
My second advice to you is to choose a GOOD doctor. In thailand a good doctor can be cheap or expensive, it has nothing to do with the price. You should talk to people - but not your wife - and try to
get a reccomendation. do not try to save here. It is not a question of price but if the doctor is charging you 30,000 baht (quite cheap in western terms) and is good, better pay it.
and last, you should be lucky and find the good doctor on a good day. i had a thai dentist for years, she was very good and allways did a good job, until one day i came to her on a bad day for a root canal work. I could feel she is not calm and trying to finish job too fast.
the result is that after she finished the treatment and silled the tooth, i still suffered pain. i went
to another dentist and he x-rated the tooth and showed me that the treatment was not good, the root is still alive, and that is why it is painfull, and now i will have to go for another root canal work on the same tooth.

And even if it goes awry when selecting that option (only works when BangkokBank is the receiving Bank), you can always use the TransferWise receipts to prove that your transfers originated from abroad.
MUST those receipts be in the applicant name only, or any other name?

i would like to ask a question.
When applying for the NON-O visa with the 800K in bank, must the proof that money came
from abroad must be shown also when extending this visa, in the next or third year for the visa, or
only in the first time, first year, of applying to this visa?

Investing 1 Million USD for the privilege of paying 35% income tax. The best deal since Wirecard stock.
ACCTUALLY 35% income tax is low compare to the west
plus thai tax system is territorial
so it might attract some wealthy people
but coming free with any long term visa

regular travel is not easy these days, and people are stressed over the corona virus situation,
so the thai officials were thinking :
maybe someone will get confused, someone who has many million dollars, and he will just want to invest one of them in our lovely country, and to feel special,
because it is not so easy to enter thailand these days, and here not only that he got into thailand,
but he also got a work permit, and...and...and...and he is in thailand now, and he can work !!
IN THAILAND !!!!
WOOOOOWWW!!!!!!

NOT EVEN THE chinese wlll buy into this.
and why would they?
they can easily get work permit together with their condo hotels, or a much smaller investment.
the thinking behind this plan can be called WHEN ONE IS FLYING ON HIMSELF, a combination of
arrogance and day dreaming.

that will not be so hard to approve.
but i wonder why would one invest 1 million USD just to get a work permit.
anyway he can get the work permit even if he invest only 2-3 million baht in openning a thai company.
and why would someone be so eager to work in a low income country like thailand, when he has 1 million dollars to invest?
sounds like those ads for condominiums : BUY A 10 MILLION BAHT CONDOMINIUM , AND GET A BRAND NEW IPHONE 12 FREE !!!
