I agree that Thai's list of what is income has been outline in detail but certainly will change as they close loop holes and clarify certain areas and manager their way thru tge DRA maze but If there is an issue of whether credit card use could be defined as income because its accessible then its not clear and speculation starts which just muddied the water which is what I have said a number if times.

We absolutely do disagree on a number of points and having theoretical guessing is pointless until final regs to manage this situation is issued which I've stated as well. I dont agree completely with Mike's view on some of this either but he does have a fairly firm grasp on the topic but its far from defined by Thailand at this point. Theres too much speculation at this point on what is income, and certainly with The number of DTA's existing and the challenges to legality that could arise and that's not helping others, only causing more confusion.

I know exactly what they are and how they are used. However others commenting here do not seem to understand the difference in a debt payment against a loan or purchase and what income is. They have also implied any type of money transfer as income which is incorrect as well and thats why I included it. Youve blurred the lines several times on this issue

Now your really twisting the topic to being in the realm of absurd

Debt or a purchase is not income so to make a purchase or payment using a credit card or debit card has no bearing or relation to being income which is what the tax situation is dealing with. It can become very convoluted but I see no way a credit card payment or debit card payment will be classed as income.

Im not sure that payment of debt is considered income in any country. I may be wrong but that is a gross overstretch to make a claim like that.

The tax reg only speaks to income earned not payments made for purchase as purchases are already taxed. If that were the case you would pay tax on every deposit to a bank, every purchase or withdrawal and then have to pay tax on any affected foreign income as well. People need to calm down and wait for clear guidance to be issued. The speculation on this issue is way out of hand ang the end result with all the DTA's in place will limit the impact to most everyone.

Remittance or payment of bills is not an indication that the money used regardless of category is an indication the funds are income. Too much unknowledgeable speculation

I'm not after anyone to agree with me or like what I tell you. Tge truth may sting you but its still the truth. I'm just calling you out because you make up stories, change your mind every other week, make claims that are completely unbelievable. If you notice though most everyone replying to you knows you full of crap

Not according to your own posts bob. You have admitted being sh$t faced on so many post along with your fake trollex watch that makes every women spread their legs for you. You have admitted your a raging alcoholic and can't even keep your stories straight or believable. Your on the wagon then renounce it and off for a week. Then your a womanizer but give it up for Mrs smith and then reverse again a week later. Your leaving Thailand cause your fed up and then a week later you want to assimilate into the community but a week later you cant because everywhere you go they hate you once you speak Thai. Bob you need some serious help mentally as you are not stable, your just complete bs and looking for clicks

He probably said or did inappropriate things to the waitresses in the past while drunk and they asked him not to come back but he forgot and when the owner came in and saw him she told him to leave.

Yet a week ago you were so "so feed up you were gonna leave" too much alcohol does that to people bob.

Its is more to do with how you treat them. You claim to be welloff with multiple houses and your trollex watches. They are not stupid and see right thru your bs. You treat them badly and that's what you get back from them.

No bob its not that people think thai's can do no wrong its because you post unrealistic situations that are completely made up and think you're cool or one of the "in" guys because of it. No thai resturaunt owner is gonna throw you out because you said hello in Thai, especially if your a regular. Your either making this up to get attention, or you've done or said something else inappropriate in the resturaunt in tge past and were told not to come back.

Not a chance a Thai would throw you out of there resturant for saying hello in Thai. He's either making it up or did or said something else to an employee that caused it. You can believe whatever you want to but his past posts seem to support he's not mentally stable caused due to his drinking.

Because you post bs thats so unbelievable and has no basis to have occurred. You lie like a bad rug and like nothing more than to bash thais, just 1 day after you claim you want to learn to assimilate into being more Thai. Alcohol is obviously not good for you and your mental state and you should seek help.

I find that almost impossible to believe and it sounds like your on one of your binges again.

I find that quite odd as the regs are quite clear and embassies don't generally comment on visas as they are controlled by MFA. immigration at arrival doesn't ask for departure flight info unless there is something suspicious in your history.

He wont be issued a visa as he'll be tagged in the systems most likely. If he gets a visa he will probably be tagged by the system the airlines use and not allowed to board. Even if he managed to get past both of those he would be flagged at Imm on arrival and turned away. A visa is not a guarantee of entry.

he admitted he kicked her but claimed it was an accident because he slipped

So domestic violence isnt anything serious to you and he got 4 months in jail for it? The jail time should indicate it was pretty serious since the police dont touch domestic violence issue here unless absolutely necessary. His exit stamp should show and he would have been told directly about his ban.

Thats the problem with you and your thinking Bob, you dont think. When you're in another country you should act appropriately not like some dirtbag just because your on vacation and think your entitled to do whatever you want to do and disregard cultural norms and local laws. Is that how visitors act in any of your supposed homes? Its the people thinking and acting like that, that have turned it into a tourist ghetto as you call it. You should fit in fine there.

They want them to come and be normal tourists not trash bag mongers that treat locals like crap and don't follow any normal etiquette while there

This is the correct answer so ignore the others. Go to the UK embassy with your divorce papers and they issue the correct document indicating you are free to marry.

When have you valued honesty, integrity? You talk trash about Thais, your a womanizer and proud of how you treat them, treat mrs smith (if there is one) in every disrespectful way possible, your an alcoholic that can't straight half the time posting bs. Better take a hard look in the mirror Bob before you claim honesty and integrity.
