I'm not sure she would be the one needing therapy

Nope, that was when they arrived, depends on what happened next. News reporting is very poor and facts are always left out in these stories. She may have gone into cardiac arrest shortly after they arrived since she apparently fell into a coma at some point.

No she seems to have materialized fairly recently

Not quite sure how they would have any access to banking data in any other country. Sounds inaccurate to me. They may have run a credit report which would show accounts but they would see anything about an atm card.

Didn't you find yourself caught short of cash from that girl in Ko Chang a while back ?

dont know, ask the OP , he's the one that said he's spending an extra 5K for "intimate dates"

You can do everything you've listed for far less than what you posted but that would require a change in your lifestyle to some extent. You control that. No more 5K a month hookers which is extreme high. I don't know that I would go the LTR Visa. I would stay with the Retirement Visa and take the burden of continually having to generate the excess income while retired and get that off the table. It all comes down to balance so your money lasts and you still have a good lifestyle. You definitely don't want to end up with no savings to fall back on should you need later in life.

ummmm, Maybe to try and keep her alive.

There's nothing to download, its all uploads to th e-visa site.

Typed to fast. Old PP comes back to your separate of new PP.

You dont get or keep a good girl with your approach Bob.

Your old passport is returned to you in the US separate of your new visa so you should have it to provide the pics for the upload. I would call them rather than email them. I believe the Foreign Ministry controls the E-visa system so you may want to contact them. I would delete your application and re-enter it new and see what happens

Victory Residence Hotel at Victory Monument has monthly rates. Good hotel, decent staff and close to BTS and everything else you need. Rates are decent. https://the-victory.com

If I remember correctly yes its illegal in the context that you can go to court and request a divorce with sufficient proof. I dont believe you can have the offending party arrested (its a civil offence not criminal) or put in jail but can sue for damages. If won the I believe that compensation is set by the court. Adultery does not include use of prostitute services though?????

I'm confused. If you send 65000 baht its already converted and forex exchange has no impact although fees deducted for transfer may. But if you send any other currency without checking the exchange rate first to make sure your total arriving funds meet the 65k threshold you could have a problem. Am I missing something here?

How are tourist being threaten by a Thai with a gun connected to stealing thai jobs?

Its only applicable if a case is filed with the court and the court orders it. You could have gotten an extentision based on the court case preventing you from leaving

Read comprehension is a tricky thing

I don't think I'm the confused one. Foreign Sourced income is income paid outside Thailand from a source not located in Thailand. Thai sourced income is income paid inside Thailand from a company in Thailand. At this point its no use continuing as we don't agree on the definitions which is fine.

I believe if you read the tax regs you will see what I have quoted. For a foreigner generating income outside of Thailand (foreign sourced) to be taxed there is a 2 tier qualification that needs to be meet under the tax regs, Source and Resident rules. . 1. ) If you live in Thailand 180 days or more in a calendar year and generate foreign sourced income 2.) you must bring that income into the country in the same calendar year to be taxed. If you live in Thailand 180 days or more but do not bring that foreign sourced income into the country in the same year you do not pay tax on that income. If you are not in Thailand 180 days or more in a calendar year you are not a taxable resident and pay no tax on income outside of Thailand. To add another wrinkle to the discussion there are bi-lateral tax agreements to avoid double taxation. Per that section of the regs over 50 countries have double taxation agreements with Thailand to ensure you won’t be taxed twice – once by Thailand and again by your country of origin. The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Norway, Russia, are a few of the countries that have such treaties in place. There are numerous links if you google it or if you read the tax regs it outlines it. You must meet both the Source Rules and the Resident Rules for the answer on taxation. if you don't agree that's fine we'll just have to disagree but no sense in going in circles at this point.

They are appropriate and don't make you "keyboard warrior" if accurate and reflect your experience. Im not saying it isn't subject to any defamation laws in Thailand. Im speaking to whats appropriate not whats deemed legal in Thailand

I believe what I wrote is correct according to the tax regs.

Im just quoting the tax law that exist currently. As I clearly pointed out there is no easy way to tell if your money you bring into the country came from working in the current year or past year nor who to look for to capture all the foreigners with income coming into the country.

If a refrigerator lasting longer than you do in life keeps you up, it much be a pretty shallow existence you have.

Some people are just caustic and don't have good people skills to communicate because the feel their opinion is the only correct one
