Ben Zioner

This isn't a government is it? It is an unelected mob trying to secure popular vote for the next election. The Adolf/Benito doctrine reenacted 90 years later.

Ok, so get on with your life, and build. And find out that there are much better places to retire.

This investigation is carried out by CIB and is of a criminal nature. It has nothing to do with tax collection. They will simply confiscate the funds and deport the culprits, unless of course the right people get a sizeable cut. This will not change anything for law abiding Elite holders. And I can confirm that they don't benefit from any tax exemption. Even though I suspect that most of them won't care as they will simply limit the number of days they'll spend in the country. Wether the RD 743 will be rescinded or not is a totally different matter. Since I don't want to deprive you from your schadenfreude I'll say that it could happen, or they may just close the LTR program and let existing visas run out. The latter seems more likely to me especially in light of a recent warning from BOI regarding the maintenance of credentials.

You miss one essential difference between the two programs: to get Elite you dump a few millions of your cash and off you go with your 10 or 20 years visa. To get LTR you have to show who you are and where your money comes from. That's probably some of those who would like to apply are whingeing.

It has been designed for this kind of people, but there are always political shifts...

You mean like Trump, who wanted to put people on dishwasher drips?

You must be an expert epidemiologist?

Yes? And where are the vaccines?

Well EU retirees might reconsider their stay in LOS as the price of massage with happy ending will drop significantly in Europe. My dream would be half a dozen of lineups available in every mountain resort. Walking in the sky and finishing in heaven.

Thats my combo. The epson ink tank was a game changer, consumable last, and last, and... The Brother is good for quality B&W text, remember some infamous Thai bureaucracies don't like colour copies and B&W print on the Epson is so so. I will probably get only buy "print only" units in the future and add a quality flat bed scanner to my gear.

Put a 40% sales tax on AC units and services to assist the heat stroke victims.

We need another military coup.

Yep, was about to say Trat too. Can fly to Bangkok if needed. About 90 minutes to Chantaburi. And so close to Koh Chang and Salak Peth Seafood.

Wy isn't Bangkok like Singapore, or Kuala Lumpur?

But, but, but... he is only saying that since there is some uncertainty he will only remit seasoned income. I'll do the same for the time being.

But that's part of the careful planning bit isn't? Broke my heart (young wife with an adorable baby girl) but I stayed at the grinding mill until I was 62. Baby really enjoyed having her [hansum] dad full time by the time she turned four.

You do realise that bringing this money in a year you are in Thailand less that 180 days would make it untaxable?

Could you give us some samples of that "bragging". There is nothing to brag out an 80 KUSD pension, it just needs some foresight and planning from the first day you join the workforce. That's for the LTR/WP.

Yep, and those who try to stretch, bend or bypass the system should feel harassed. Those who do not qualify at all should just shut up and not pollute this thread.

The annual re-qualification is just something you have invented. There is an LTR version of the 90 days report the only difference being that the 90 days become once a year. We have never heard on 90 days re-qualification have we? Most of us travel once a year and will never have to do so report anyway.

This would lead me to think that the current action by Israel is too measured, but it is so only because of the umpteenth treason by its western allies. While nothing but full support for an all out war effort is needed to crush the barbarians, once for all.

Totally Tsahal's mission is to protect the nation, and that's what is happening. Those who start a war must be held accountable for all deaths and destruction. Israel didn't start any of wars since 1947.

A tiny number of nutcases out of a population of 300 Million. Not really a story. The silver lining is that DT may well join them soon.

Mine are those displaying blatant anti-semitic attitude. I keep them for my own little WW II museum.

I see, it got u to stut.. stutter.
