  1. Have any members recently been to immigration. Wondering what the current waiting times are for spouse visa renewals without an appointment. It seems spouse visa holders with a permanent residence documents cannot use the VFS online service sadly. Thanks in advance
  2. Many thanks, I love rabbit holes and conspiracy theories....
  3. I read an old article that suggested this is possible. Our son has a British and Thai passport and I wondered if he could leave the UK on his British passport and enter Thailand on his UK passport based on the post. Yea, I know he can enter on his UK passport but then he would have to jump through all the hoops us foreigners have to. Secondly, if possible, is there a time limit on the expires passport, e.g. within 6 months @ubonjoe Thanks in advance
  4. It's not me, but someone else. Anyway, the person has been living in Nepal but being paid as an employee from a Thai company. I don't think income tax can be paid in Thailand as I understand you need a visa, Thai address, etc for that. Which leads me to assume that no tax would have been paid, and the person should instead be subject to a withholding tax deduction from their salary. All very complicated I know. But, if they are treated as a consultant for tax purposes can they then still be an employee?
  5. Thanks everyone for the replies. It's not a question to avoid paying tax, I wish to find out the correct treatment for tax purposes. I just wondered if income tax should be deducted and paid in Thailand. If it is not then I would expect the person to be treated for tax purposes within Thailand as a consultant and hence withholding taxes deducted. I just find it a peculiar situation as a lot of people are doing the opposite, i.e. working in Thailand but employed by an overseas company.
  6. This is I suspect an unusual case. What are the implications of living outside of Thailand, working remotely for a Thai company. 1) Is it possible to have an employment contract or should a person be regarded as a consultant? 2) If a consultant then I assume withholding tax would be deducted from any services provided? 3) Would the person be liable to pay tax to Thailand? Thanks
  7. Counts as wrongful dismissal. Not sure you can claim for part (2) in your post that is outside of wrongful dismissal. They must pay your holiday.
  8. I know they are lying, I got told that they submit the lower value and then in their regular interviews with immigration they are asked how they can live on the lower amounts. Yes immigration and tax departments aren't linked like a lot of departments in TH. The whole thing just doesn't make sense. I am sure immigration wouldn't care if they earned more which is why it has me flummoxed.
  9. Thanks for all the replies.. Doesn't seem to be a clear reason so moving on.... What would be the consequences of carrying out such actions? I am guessing these are serious offences, I mean Inca not think of much worse than lying to immigration. Guessing we are talking severe fines, possible imprisonment and of course bans from Thailand right?
  10. but taxes are paid on the higher salary so this isn't the reason. Maybe just plain dumbness?
  11. Yes, but why? The higher costs are paid out and recorded, and taxes are paid on the higher contract. Seems like they are scared to tell immigration about their true earnings, but I don't know why. Any idea what the consequences would be if immigration found out?
  12. Certainly not something I would recommend. Perhaps it is normal for some though.
  13. In this case the person knows both contracts and salaries. I thought it must be something to do with the visa type perhaps? But there cannot be a limit on salaries can there as UN employees earn a lot and this is a small NGO. I just find it very, very odd. I cannot see any reason for it which makes me wonder, why lie to immigration. I am guessing if Immigration found out the consequences could be quite drastic right @Maestro
  14. No, but if it was for financial gain maybe understandable, but I cannot think of a reason why, which is why I find it a weird situation as taxes are being paid, so what would be the motive for dual contracts? Seems odd, something is fishy....I just cannot figure out what....
  15. Is it normal for NGO employees to have two separate contracts of employment with different salaries. One with a lower value for visa and immigration purposes, and a higher one which the NGO pays the employee and taxes on. Has anyone ever heard of this before and if so, why do they do it? I can't understand why. Is there a maximum salary permissable for NGO staff under their visa?
  16. Interesting read with Christmas coming up. I wanted to try and make some sausage rolls for a fundraising event. Previous posters and experienced suagae roll makers - approximately how many small sausage rolls could I make with one of these packs please? Thanks
  17. I was enquiring for a friend who is considering opening a restaurant. Does it matter anyway? Does everyone who posts on here need to be questioned by you as to why they are asking something? Don't you have something better to do with your time?
  18. More coverage on here and I don't know any local bar owners.
  19. This is an old post but I wondered if the incidents described are still happening in Chiang Mai today?
  20. I want to transfer my bank account to a nearer branch of SCB. Does anyone know the process involved in this? Do I go to the new branch or the old one to instigate this? Will I need a new ATM card? Thanks
  21. If so, is the procedure any different for those with a yellow book?
  22. Presumably, there is no requirement for Thai nationals who are living overseas to purchase travel/health insurance when they visit Thailand for a holiday. I have looked into obtaining travel insurance for from the UK for a 2 month+ period for a 16 year old but it seems very difficult. I wondered if it is possible to buy this type of insurance within Thailand itself (i.e. from a Thai insurance company/broker) rather than buying from the UK for example. I know you can buy short-term domestic travel insurance if you are living in Thailand. Thanks in advance
  23. I am interested in hiring a football pitch for my son and his friends. I am thinking one with a roof would be better or indoor place in case it rains heavily on the day we go. Can anyone recommend one? I saw Jaguar Mae Jo but that's a bit far away. All Star Arena is a possibility and I have tried calling them but no answer. Many thanks
  24. exactly my thoughts, good luck WG.
