That re-opened a rift between those on the right over the program and whether it is being used to attract the best talent or being used by companies to bring in cheaper labor, who are tied to their job by the visa. So you disagree with Trump? That visa should be used as a "cheap labor program"?

What makes you think your friends "forgot?"

Ah, rules based international order! Like this? Of course they can set their 9-dashed line. And yes, China can and will intervene if that's what they want to do. If they feel some nation is trying to control the South China Sea. The Mao Doctrine. It's all fun and games until somebody loses a Ford class carrier.

Panama can set their rates as they please. Don't like it? Go around. Or just like last time, when the US supported a military revolt to steal the territory from Columbia.

Why, yes!. They're building ports and highways and other infrastructure. Call me when they regime-change a dozen stable, secular democratically-elected governments yearly, or have 800 foreign military bases.

She was crossing the road to get to a restaurant. Likely many cars parked along the roadside, with so many eating out during the holidays. Assume she darted out from between two massive SUV's without looking, giving the VICTIM on the bike less than a fraction of a second to react. You can be shirley if he were speeding or actin' a fool on his bike, there would be quotes from witnesses. But police have swung into action and indicated they will charge him to the full extent of the innocent man's credit line.

That's a little difficult for a short trip. Kunming is one of the visa-free tourist zones, but not sure how much of Yunnan province is included. And i believe you also have to fly out of Kunming per visa-free rules. Even if train were possible, visa for Laos must be obtained at the embassy in Kunming, not available at the border by train. How 'bout the Hainan Island visa-free zone?

Is there a problem? Trump is doing undercover investigating.

You're inflating illegal aliens with legal visa holders. You was talkin' 'bout deportations under various presidents. And I noticed that the numbers make sense. If Trump makes an effort to secure the border, gorrillions of illegals don't flood over, there are fewer for the border patrol to catch, and fewer to throw back. Covfefe?

Makes sense. If ya don't let 'em in in the first place, ya don't gotta send 'em back.

Really? I get to help cut waste and terminate obsolete programs, saving the taxpayers billions? Well, by golly, I'll take that job. Consider it patriotic public service. You got a link to the sign up sheet?

Depends. How complicated are your returns? Do you have any Thai-sourced income other than interest/dividends where tax has already been withheld? How much total remittance over the year, and how much is assessable? If not assessable (savings prior to 2024, most government pensions), it doesn't go on the tax return.

Fillable 10.1 Application for TIN https://www.expattaxthailand.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/lp10.1_110355.pdf Use your google translate or hire a helper, fill out and print. Stop by your bank and get a 2024 interest tax withholding statement. Go to local TRD apply for TIN if needed. It's FREE, as is bank statement. Your interest tax refund is your 'necessary' if need for TIN questioned.

Not limited to seasonal work, can also be agricultural work for up to one year. There's also an H-2A "herder rule" for isolated or 24-hour on-call employment.

Don't be anti-semantic.

Thanks for admitting you can't find a relevant quote. So, yeah..........Trump in 2016 during the campaign, before he was even in the gubbermint, got confused about the myriad of visa programs. He was running for office and was spending literally minutes every night with his advisors cramming, in between sending mean tweets. How many expats equate visas with extensions, use the wrong terminology, get confused on O vs. O-A vs O-X visas? And many of these oopsies were made by people who've been dealing with immigration for years. Just a vegan nothingburger. Do betta, yo!

According to the NYP: Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, maneuvered a rented Ford F-150 Lightning EV pickup around a police blockage at Bourbon Street around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, then sped into crowds of partiers on the iconic stretch — leaving a trail of blood and bodies in his wake. Joe Biden sprang into action and took a nap. Democratic senators began drawing up emergency legislation banning or severely restricting access to assault EV's. Republican senators countered with claims that "if EV's are criminalized, only criminals will drive EV's." Musk tweeted x'd cryptically "From my cold, dead AI". Trump announced plans to tariff China, for reasons.

But if the Democrats select Harris again, possibly even with her competing in a primary, than Vance is inevitable. Another landslide.

Yes, apparently. "Upgrade" is now affecting laptop login. Request is to send OTP to number (US only) on file. There is an option to send the code via email. There is no option to opt out on the security center page.

Oh, nonononono! No backsies! That's the quote you selected to support your claim. Obviously you thought that was the little death that brings total obliteration. So that's the one we'll deal with.

It's actually super easy, barely an inconvenience. I plan to file 2024 tax return this weekend online. Will take about 15 minutes, then I'll do my 2024 FBAR, also about 15 minutes. When my 1099's arrive, I can file with Uncle Sam. That will take considerably longer, possibly an hour. I just completed my Thai tax filing preparations. I have on a single post-it note Total interest earned Total interest tax withheld Taxpayer ID of the bank Total dividends earned Total dividend tax withheld Taxpayer ID of the brokerage Pink ID number activated as TIN That's about all the info needed to file if not employed in Thailand or remitting yuge sums of assessable income. I brought in about 250K baht of NON-assessable funds, so those won't be listed. I can file without a bank withholding statement. I filed 2021, 2022, and 2023 six months ago. TRD sent the refund letter for 2023 immediately, requested bank statements for 2021 and 2022, and I got those refunds about two months later. That indicates TRD has bank/broker data for the current tax year. I'll only waste time at the bank getting the letter if requested. Then in about 2-3 weeks, I'll get a refund letter I must take to Krung Thai to deposit. My local Bangkok Branch won't link accounts to pink ID to make PromptPay possible.

Yes, he made a misteak. You pulled a quote from 2016, before the Republican primaries, and long before he defeated the lady he promised to lock up, but who turned out later to be "good people." Just a little slip, can't expect him to remember all the trivial details. He had a lot on his mind. It's not easy being a very stable genius.

Sense. It appears he was talking about work visa program abuse in general, and simply covfefed all the various programs into the only one he was at that time familiar with.
