  1. I Just wear clean underpants..
  2. If it is for LTR you should look for some government sponsored coverage in your home country. I you go try yo get a private insurance you'll get fleeced, especilly in Thailand.
  3. Odd, as if they wanted to stop LTR visa holders from investing in Thailand.
  4. This also confirms that, for now, they will focus on taxing remittance. This will have a strange effect on properties purchases by tax residents using fund for abroad. There will be so many things happening. For instance one of my plans to limit the tax would be to take all longer holidays abroad, in Malaysia, Singapore or Vietnam, which would save the tax on about 300k to 400k taxed at 30%. Would also allow me bring back some cash... But I would imagine that within a few years they get their act together and implement the system to truly tax income from abroad. After tax they may even enrol us for National Service.
  5. Of course it could be exempt. For instance if you transferred before 01/01/2024 income earned before 01/01/2023 it would still be exempt.
  6. Well I'd expect you to take your family with, or at least support them from wherever you'd go?
  7. So, they didn't write "Any income earned in the period prior to holding the LTR Visa or after December 31, 2023 will not be considered for tax exemption." ?
  8. Good. They had everything to become the leading economy within the EU yet their delusions led them to leave.
  9. There would be no problem for foreign banks to submit lists of cash withdrawals made in any given country. They could provide personal details such as Names D.O.B, address, etc. I my case i know that they wouldn't have my passport number. I would say that "forgetting" cash withdrawals and credit card bills on foreign banks may work for a while, but they will get their systems working at some stage and then the might track us back up to January 1, 2024. But the best thing to do is probably to fly the Singapore once or twice a year and get all the cash you can. My UBS cards have pretty high limits. Yet I shouldn't forget that the USD 20000 limit is likely to change just as well as the rules on foreign remittance.
  10. You are mixing up LTR and Elite. LTR costs 50k for two times 5 years. Also BOI will have several issues to "clarify" with the Tax people, no one can be sure of the outcome. They will have to chose between extra Tax revenue or attracting affluent foreigners.
  11. This is a clear as u can get at this stage: Foreign source income Long Term Resident Visa Tax But I am sure it can all end up somewhat different
  12. Omicron or Omron? I know, Omicron would be free..
  13. Enough illegal immigrants in EU. Maybe Korea, where they are all over the place, is getting tough. Or is it that they want to collect more of that new tax on "money from abroad" ?
  14. At 38 they start showing their age, while in their late twenties they still have their teen look but have gained enough wisdom to become the loving and caring partners we appreciate so much.
  15. Agree, find it difficult to understand why one would settle in a Thai village, when he can't stand the sound of chicken and dogs.
  16. The cheapest and safest way would be to buy a 5A 8V power supply. It is true that 5A/8V seems uncommon.
