  1. Thank you to everyone, these are some great answers and opinions that I was looking for. Very appreciated!
  2. Hello everyone, I know this question would be more suitable for an international tax professional but I figure to ask here first. I am dual citizenship Thai and US and currently reside in the US and file taxes in the US. If I purchase an investment property in Thailand and rent it out continuously to a Thai business, and earn a monthly income, would I be liable for income taxes in the US? I think the answer would be yes since the US wants a piece of any kind of income you earn. I have a Thai bank account and all the transactions (purchase, rent payments, etc) would be in Thailand, but the initial money for the property purchase would be transferred from the US into my Thai bank account, so I don't think there would be any way to 'hide' this investment from the US IRS, not that I would try that anyhow. Just seeking opinions from anyone who has done something similar. Thanks!
  3. Thank you to everyone for the replies. It seems to be the gate agent checking our documents and how overzealous he/she might be, both here in the US and also thru transit in Singapore. I am flying Singapore Airlines and registered my US passport with my ticket. A friend of mine recently had some trouble transiting thru Japan. She is also dual citizenship and did not get a tourist visa. She was stopped during the document check in Japan. Her US passport was registered to her ticket, and they almost would not let her transit board her next flight even though she showed her Thai passport as well. The agents made a call to the Thai embassy in Bangkok and after whatever was discussed, they let her board. These gate agents are being very strict. Traveling with such uncertainty almost makes me want to just postpone my trip. Hopefully all will go well!
  4. Hello, I live in the US and have dual citizenship Thai/USA. I plan on returning to Thailand in March for around 40 days. I will exit the USA on my US passport and enter Thailand on my Thai passport. Due to the stringent requirements and overly scrutinized document checks at airline check-in in the US, I am hearing horror stories of people being denied boarding in the US with return tickets greater than 30 days but no Tourist Visa. Is it recommended I should obtain a Tourist Visa to avoid any problems at check-in? Or would just showing both my Thai and USA passports at check-in avoid any problems about not having a Tourist Visa for a stay longer than 30 days? Thanks for any experience or guidance.
