Not for the tax return, unless you were for some reason unable to file it yourself. There is one infamous poster, not seen recently, who has been disseminating disinformation, claiming that immigration WILL require tax returns, and that tax clearance certificates WILL be needed. Also claimed WILL be using an agent to file a return AND to obtain a tax clearance certificate.....which is not normally available. As far as I am aware, YOU (and four others you claim YOU know of) are the only posters to have received a "TCC". Would you mind posting a photo of your "tax clearance certificate," with personal info redacted of course?

Are all of you using the same agent?

Not taxable in NZ. Doesn't apply to Thailand unless in DTA. Capital gains could be considered assessable, but only if you declared it on the tax return. Nothing to do with taxation. You're signing a paper stating that the money is hers, and you as a foreign person have no interest in the property.

No make sense. No income, no remittance? Why file tax return? I'ma bet he didn't remit any funds other than the 65K monthly of taxable pension for his extension. The reduction likely occurred when the tax staffer asked if he was over 65.

Not if she goes to whine to the tabloids.

I can understand reciprocal tariffs, such as 125% for India and 80% for Thailand. But not all nations impose tariffs on vehicles, although the international average is 22%. Japan does not impose a tariff, their consumers just don't want 'merkan cars that don't suit the market. Shirley, they won't mind, and they'll keep buying those US treasuries to add to the $1.2 Trillion they already hold, right?

Does Thailand actually build Thai cars? Or is it all foreign manufacturers using Thailand as a base for cheap labor or to circumvent tariffs against their home country?

But he wasn't dead. After he died, it took a whole two days to get the death certificates, get the body cremated and secure the paperwork to carry the urn out by plane.

Gosh, it must have taken months to get all the certificates and the correct visas and all the papers properly stamped! So exactly how many months did it take? Gill finally received the exit visa on March 7 – two days after Paul's death – allowing her to leave India with Matthew, Amy and Paul. "By the Friday night we got the remains back and all these other certificates saying we could leave," she said. Oh, my lady Gaga! She was forced to navigate the bureaucracy for 48 whole hours! Oh, the gofundmenanity!

Hun, the experts have retired, leaving the diverse tickboxes, writing the coding equivalent of Harris word salad surgery.

Gosh, you're right! Voting straight democrat is so very bigoted against republicans.

Ezzackly! The old guys who knew their way around a procedure division have all gotten their golden slide-rules and retired, leaving the new crop of token, diverse DEI checkboxes.

..........as of September 2015, the agency automatically stops payments to people who are older than 115 years old. Oh, no, Trump's cutting social security! Granny's gonna starve. Wait, what? 2015? Obama did that?....................Never mind.

Better check the Thai-UK DTA. I forgets the terminology, but if UK has primary taxation and Thailand has secondary, both countries may tax the same income, BUT the DTA ensures that it doesn't get double taxed. One country gets to keep the tax, the other eats a tax credit. If the UK tax is lower, he'll likely still have to pay some additional Thai tax.

Hint: they already did.

Disney just spent something like $280 million plus another $200 million advertising on woke Snow White. First weekend ticket sales of $43 million. Lowest live action first weekend ever, even lower than live action Dumbo. Yes, as a former programmer I readed it... And yes, indeed, I learned to code, thus am not dependent on social security for my retirement. My monthly benefits will be for hookers and blow. However, the sheer volume of COBOL code that needs modernizing is daunting. Estimates range from 220 billion to 800 billion lines of COBOL code still in use today. Decades of accumulated code, inconsistent programming styles, a lack of documentation, and inconsistent standardization make understanding and porting these systems difficult. That doesn't say it can't be done, only that the system is so outdated and backwards it would be challenging, especially for the current crop of DEI hires. Nothing a platoon of Indian H1-B's couldn't handle after they clock out from their shifts at the seventy-leven.

How much did he transfer? Is his pension assessable/taxable? What was his individual TEDA? From tax tables, looks like he brought in around a million baht. If Thailand has taxation rights, he owes tax.

Bunked! Did Elon Musk say millions of people over 140 years old get Social Security benefits? No, that's not true: Musk did post a chart that he said was from the Social Security database, showing age categories up to 189 years old "with the death field set to FALSE!" and he jokingly added, "Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security." But he did not say "millions of people over 140 years old are receiving Social Security benefits," as was falsely attributed to him in a post made by someone else. The claim appeared in a post (archived here) on X on February 17, 2025. It opened: BREAKING: Elon Musk says millions of people over 140 years old are receiving Social Security benefits.

What's the opposite of debunked? Bunked? Yes, a quick first query of the database did turn up ancient relics on benefit support. Turns out a problem with COBOL paleocode for "most." Now we can fix the code. It's similar to the Y2K problem........back then memory was really 'spensive and limited. Coders would use all options to conserve computing power and storage requirements. 'Member magnetic tape and programs on punched cards, and oh jeeeze!, having to debug using a 100-page fanfold hexdump printout? Kinda like when a quick query of pentagon contracts finds $6000 toilet seats, but fails to investigate to find out that "seat, toilet, cubicle" is the complete lavatory component that is installed into an aircraft. Sorta like the $2000 coffee maker that the writer wants us to think is a conventional Mr. Coffee, but is an industrial-strength large-capacity hot water/coffee unit that takes up half the damn galley.

No, he's bought into the leftie MSM lies trying to discredit the attempts to root out fraud, waste and abuse. A quickie check of SS numbers in the system receiving benefits DID show a biglyish large amount of Methuselahs registered. MSM reports typically edited out Musky comments that either enormous fraud was uncovered OR a significant problem with the database was discovered. Same as always, like how they edited the Zimmerman 911 call log to show him to be a WHite-hispanic rassiss. First they came for the 140-year-olds And I did not speak out Because I was not Methuselah Then they came for the illegals And I did not speak out Because I was a citizen Then they came for the dead people And I did not speak out Because I was not deceased Then they came for the fake IDs And I did not speak out Because I was not a scammer Then they came to me And because they had eliminated fraud and waste They increased my benefits under a sound system.

But you no unnerstan me. I was summarizing the socialist theology of the poster to which I was responding. ""From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs, minus 10% for the Big Guy."

**whoosh**

Although you'd still have the problems and cost and time involved with unloading the ships, loading the containers into specially designed Chinese square-bodied "container-class" submarines, transiting the canal under solar and/or wind power under green new deal regulations without the need for diesel engines, and then unloading the submarines onto ships for transit to their final destinations. Fortunately, the empty ships will be able to circumnavigate Singapore and steam up the coast faster than the submarines under wind/solar power can transit the canal, thus the containers can be loaded back onto the same ships from whence they were unbeladened!

...........a feature, not a bug.

According to Chiang Rai Times (prolly can't link it), he was blacklisted for overstaying a visa. He entered July of 2024. His mother died four months ago.
