Your jumping on someone elses posting when you already posted about your situation. Your taking away from another poster by deflecting with your situation. If you had read the conditions of purchase on your flight tickets you would have seen the statement about changes and fees. your situation is unfortuneate but not a scam by any means

You answered your own question, you are a trumpette. Stating and sensationalizing non events or twisting truth and fact to be the fiction to support a POS like trump. I am continually baffled at the ignorance of trumpettes

Dont you already have a thread going on your situation? Why jump on someone else posting with your unrelated situation? You should remove you posting on this one.

Not sure where you're getting your facts from. I think maybe you have mixed up history with the fiction of the trumpettes. Maybe you can post a link to support your claims, it would be interesting reading

She had no clue because nothing has been done to make any connection to Immigration about taxes other than speculation here on AN and other forums.

I would try again on line after a couple days as I'm guessing that your old PP is not expired yet. They do have the expiration date in their data base of your old PP though. You can go to Imm office but they will probably not accept your confirmation receipt as they need your new PP number and data page along with the copies of old stamps. Depending on how long until you get the new PP they may wave the fine. You have the 15 days before and 7 days after window. Will your new PP be back by then?

Tourism brings in far more for the economy in multiple sectors across the board. The op implied there was the potential for a large impact to the economy which isn't really true. Some impact but fairly contained. Is it a problem, no and I didn't say it was. I was just clarifying.

So as I mentioned the economic impact is fairly limited to the monies generated by the actual ceremony and parties without much other impact on growing the economy.

I'm in no way against gay marriage but fail to see any change in economics with or without a "marriage" bill approval. Gay couples are already dating, going out to dinner, socializing, etc. Other than an actual ceremony and party, which is a one time event, i cant see much other change or impact that would happen. Can you expand on that more to educate me/us on this issue?

Your deflecting and just to hear yourself talk to cover yourself. Move along as I stand by my comments and am done with you

I stand by my statement. In the USA the tax code is often amended or not finalized until the filing year. How they handle it here no one knows until it happens

That is exactly what they have said and are working on the regulations for. I never said its the law now but the interpretation has already been changed on the current law. Its not speculation when that is the language they have used. What those regs will end up being no one knows and I have not said what they will be. It is worth noting and considering whether you like it or not. Thats what this whole thread is about, discussion on the implications of the tax changes.

you really are clueless arent you?

I think you might be one of those elusive trumpette lemmings that cant seem to see reality and fact thru the fog of love.

The truth does seem to elude some posters on here.

I think your posts defines who's bright and which category do you fall into?

That is a moronic statement and has no basis in fact unless you can post a link somewhere connecting the dots. I'll wait to see if you can but I suspect it will be crickets from you

Yes but unfortunately here in Thailand accepting responsibility and actually paying are 2 different things and often not connected.

That may or may not be accurate. The gift may not be taxed but depending on the the threshold they set and the regs they produce on what is considered accessible income you could still find yourself taxable for other income. They have indicated income does not need to be brought into the country if you're deemed a tax resident and that's the wild card. Your country's DTA will have great bearing on qualifying your exposure. No one knows what the final outcome will be yet as they are still sorting thru the approach to this. For the complainers that nothing has been finalized and published yet, its no different than tax code in most countries. They often don't finalize code until the year of submission which is 2025 for this issue.

Well I'm not in favor of this happening as the different agencies within the country don't play well together. On the fip side most developed countries in the world have checks and balances to all the different issues like foreigners qualifying for taxation due to being in a residency category and regs about working. For the expats here to get all butt hurt about the concept is a bit ridiculous. If it happens to get linked then just decide if its acceptable to you and stay if it is and leave and go somewhere else if it isn't.

Its ok now, Bob left already, or did he?

I was referring to 8 years ago when his permission to stay expired.

Some may be but many are not or dont seem to consider diagnostic testing for proper treatment especially in govt hospitals. In the south or outside of the bigger cities. They also dont like to be questioned or contradicted once they decide what the problem is in their mind.

Being French I'm surprised he didn't surrender at the first sign of trouble

So immigration officers shouldn't do their job but do other work so the police officials for that area don't have to ?
