Can you advise the price / where you were able to get it?

1. I don't think the 15% WHT applies in this case, this would be WHT paid to non tax-resident foreigners (basically like sending it overseas) 2. It would be under Section 40 (5), on the PND 90 form there is the option to choose a flat rate expense of 30% (or actual but probably don't want to go down that road) 3. Additional deductions of 60k (personal) 30-60k (non-working spouse) 25k? (health insurance if issued here) Post personal deduction & 30% deduction = 192k Tax with only personal deduction ~2,100b

If you are going from a BOI position they will ask for a non-standard document "Notification of aliens leaving their positions" it is issued by the BOI themselves when you end the BOI visa/extension but normal immigration will require you to have a copy. From memory it is not required for 60 day visit extension but definitely required for the 1 year marriage extension. You could always apply for the yearly extension and if missing anything important just revert to the 60 day one. One other consideration is if you want your renewal and under consideration period to be in December yearly going forward.

Yes this in my understanding as what the change was as people were getting stuck where they could not get a COR when they had just re-entered, I think if you have one due or overdue they are going to want it done before issuing the COR

I'm not sure this is correct, they wanted a copy of my 90 day receipt when I last did one in ~August this year, my understanding is what has changed is the requirement of the 90 day report for COR where you have arrived from overseas and have not needed to report yet

Not sure if it's still the case but they used to let you do the 90 day report submission when doing the COR at CW - This was with a COR appointment. I believe if it's overdue you will need the 90 day report to get the COR, however if not due yet then it's fine.

If you are on a BOI work permit/visa, you can go to the BOI immigration at Chamchuri Square next to Sam Yan MRT. Super easy and previously you can just walk in and there is no queue (this was a few years ago though) I think you go to submit the form and can collect in the following week. They will likely want to see TM30 and latest 90 day report but overall easy, you should be able to use the COR at any DLT note some want a separate COR letter for motorcycle and car if you plan to get both on the IDP, easiest DLT in Bangkok would be Mor Chit

Yes you can get a 1949 ver of IDP from the DLT, they usually ask where you will be using it as both versions are available, I have used it in Japan previously. Will need certificate of residence to get it and if you want both motorcycle/car they sometimes ask for a certificate of residence for each. I don't think foreigners can book this service with the DLT queue app so you just need to go there are queue for it.

I think this is a different situation, some offices require an actual witness in person, I think the OP simply need to have a witness signature on the STM10 (its always had the witness signature there but I guess they only just starting asking for it) - I question if they care about who is the witness for the STM10 form

Which immigration office was this at? Do you normally need to provide the 3 month account history too, previously at CW they only need the statement and updated passbook?

So the text search is horrible on most of the largest platforms You can use picture search (download or screenshot one of the shots) then load into picture search in shopee (mobile app only) Otherwise good shopping search is pretty good approach too. Also tons of products on Amazon are drop shipped or white label out of China - you can do the same approach and copy a pic from an Amazon listing and then find it via picture search in Shopee - this way you use the reviews in Amazon too

I have recently been given a 2 year extension of my work permit (as a director - Non BOI company) For visa I have been doing yearly extensions of stay with the current reason being marriage, I am now considering to swap this to reason being employment (documents seem easier) Does anyone know if I move to doing it based on employment will my extensions now be 2 years in length (to match work permit)? Also for timing, my extension of stay based on marriage is still valid for ~6 months but if I swap to based on employment I would prefer to go change it now, will that be possible or need to wait till closer of the expiry of my current extension of stay? Cheers

You will need the Yellowbook and Pink ID card to register for Section 39 Benefits - contact the SSO head office if you want to confirm details, FYI can still be a bit of a pain once you ahve the above, I went to a second SSO office that was more accomodating in BKK. I would suggest going to the local district office and explain to them your reason for getting it, the required documents can range a lot but not impossible, will probably take a few trips. You have 6 months from the date of finishing your employment to register/start paying for section 39.

Not sure if it has changed but previously visas issued at BOI/Chamchuri Square did not need to report TM30.

You can do it yourself if you have your yellowbook/pink id card - easiest at the office you are registered too, but technically can do at any, they just may ask for some other documents too
