Ben Zioner replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So if I follow your brilliant course of thought, UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, aren't democracies either. -

Original Elite Visa ForSale
Ben Zioner replied to fredjaidee's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
a) US$ 80000 min are supposed to an overseas pension. I know because this is how I got my LTR. b) Elite Visa holders won't be taxed on their overseas pension, but they will be taxed if they remit these funds to Thailand, they may deduct taxes paid overseas on that income. And this will all depend on the wording an interpretation of their relevant DTAs. A lot of homework in any case. c) There is no rule nor decree exempting Elite visa holders. -
So, that what you did last WE, you moved AN to your new Macbook Air. We enjoy the difference..

But they check thoroughly that you are up to date with the 365.25 days reports. I did a stamp transfer to my new passport last week, and she made sure I had left the country when she couldn't find the report in my paperwork. BTW, there is only one workstation for new passports so it takes 3 to 4 hours. Drop your paperwork before lunch, and pick up in the afternoon.

Kid's Thai nationality

Absolutely not. I have 3 nationalities I am proud of, there is no way I could be proud of being Thai. -

Shouldn't UK police carry guns?
Ben Zioner replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Being a leading democracy without a constitution and having an unarmed police force are things I would be proud of if I was a Brit. -
Thai Airways Faces Backlash Over Business-Class Seat Fiasco

But that was after the commission of the manager who authorised the compensation. -
And only one toilet for the 5 of you? Or maybe they got you catheterised? I know that some doctors do. I was a bit worried as I have one giant prostate, but they didn't. During the night I went to the toilet 5 or 6 times, had a weak flow and I had to drag the rip rig with me... They also said that could have a sore throat from intubation, but no trace of that either.

Why are Thais short-changed on new car warranties?
Ben Zioner replied to giddyup's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Is there something like the NRMA in Thailand? Consumer protection associations? Too subversive for this place IMHO. -
Original Elite Visa ForSale
Ben Zioner replied to fredjaidee's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You ought to to your homework. The 17% flat IT applies only to one category of LTR the "Highly Skilled Professionals". The three other categories are exempt on their oversees income. The Elite visa holders don't benefit from any tax exemption. -

I don't see how that would be possible as long as the LTR is around. -
Original Elite Visa ForSale
Ben Zioner replied to fredjaidee's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Good move, but don't you think that at 3.4 M most potential customers will get their own LTR for 1.5% of the price you are asking. -
Not really relevant to us in Thailand. But as I said in my OP the prices we pay here are those of Swiss private medical care. Which leads me to believe that Thai Immigration's requirement for health cover are rock bottom.

I would add that the same package is offered for 210k at Medpark. But Cigna lists Bumrungrad as their preferred provider. And I must add that I am totally amazed by the quality of the service I got.
