  1. It's obvious but this is a discussion forum not a court of law.
  2. ... and multiple convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. That's your law and order guy. As bad a role model for children as can be imagined.
  3. Interesting. I find her outfit more handsome than pretty. At least Jill Biden if you didn't find her hot enough as if anyone needs that in a first spouse, clearly LOVES her husband. With Melania, you know it's transactional.
  4. That's another theory about the hat. A perfect weapon to deflect his creepy kiss.
  5. Sure. This is a reason I didn't remit one baht last year as I'm waiting for things to shake out. I'm willing to pay an advisor that I trust (hard to find) but I think even they don't know enough yet to be worth paying.
  6. At this point in time if you insist on telling them about exempt remitted income, there is nothing on the form about that. A tax company that I am not endorsing recently speaking at the Pattaya City Expat Club does show such income on returns they prepare but only on a custom made additional memo page that they add to the return. They acknowledge that most people UNDERSTANDABLY will not mention it at all. They are being proactively defensive but to me it sounds nuts if the forms don't support.
  7. Truth in posting here. I've never been to Siem Reap but I've watched a lot of cost of living, apartment hunting videos about the place. You need to compare like to like places between Thailand and Cambodia. Siem Reap is a desirable place to live there. Perhaps it can be compared somewhat to Chiang Mai in quality of amenities for expats except for the poor health care options there. So a better question is Siem Reap cheaper for the same level of living than Chiang Mai? My guestimate is YES, and if you choose cheap accomodations you should be able to save some money. maybe 100 to 400 dollars a month max. Now if you're willing to living in some bummphuck Isaan backwater, yeah you could go even cheaper.
  8. In that case don't mention the non-accessable pension remittances at all. Now he's locked into an incorrect ruling probably unless he hires an expensive lawyer to correct them.
  9. That's true. The hat on the Hamburglar is closer though. But totally bizarre regardless. It's clear she is NOT happy he won, yeah?
  10. You asked for trouble. Your mistake. You knew that pension was not accessable and you also knew it's only about accessable money remitted in. Why did you ask for a TIN in the first place?
  11. Melania Trump used to be a professional model, nude and otherwise. She dresses with intention. She's a real stickler about exactly how she dresses, or as the Kremlin recently reminded us, how she undresses as well. Like many, I found Melania's outfit at her insurrectionist felon hubby's big swearing in to protect the constitution day that he has no intention of protecting, to be chillingly strange and familiar. What was it? I couldn't place it so I had to look it up. Now I know. The Hamburglar. So the question is -- for the love of everything that is still good in the world, WHY?
  12. I haven't watched this as I'm not Australian, but I reckon there is good information about your specific question here:
  13. Sure but as an aging retiree moving someplace at least planning for the rest of your life, to think that is some kind of retirement visa solution is totally INSANE. Thailand is bad enough with one year extensions with no path towards permanent residence status.
  14. So a fake business scheme. Vietnam has done major crackdowns on those before. Retirement in Vietnam is NOT feasible if you're just retired.
  15. For the sake of discussion to avoid triggering the easily triggered, perhaps think of AUTHORITARIANISM instead of Nazis or fascism. There is zero doubt that Donald Trump now supported by Musk and other oligarchs is an authoritarian movement with dictatorial intentions (as much as they can get away with and they can get away with a lot). Frankly anyone that denies this reality is not worthy of entering into a discussion with.
  16. Dividends are accessable. In that case, I would either do nothing because they're probably not getting ATM stuff this year but maybe later OR if you know you need to file anyway for another reason then add that money as dividend income if you want to be cautious. In any case keep records. I think they will move towards considering ATM activity but as I said, a grey area for now.
  17. "Little boy" the richest man in the world now in control of algorithms intentionally pushing misinformation and Kremlin propaganda on X to influence and buy elections in multiple countries towards far right wing governments. Such an innocent little boy.
  18. My opinion. A grey area at the moment. You could do nothing and for this year probably be OK. OR you could know the source of the funds for the ATM withdrawals such as non-accessible pension and keep a record of that but also do nothing. OR if you knew the source of those funds was accessible you could file that income under it's category and keep the record of ATM activity in case of audit. Receipts fade away. You need the bank records.
  19. Wrong. It proves nothing of the kind Replace authoritarian strong man if that helps you understand.
  20. That's a stupid argument Fascists often come to power via a democratic election. Proves nothing that Biden participated in the peaceful transition of power.
  21. To be clear. I don't mean literal Nazism. I mean fascism. We're there already. As far as Musk's bizarre gestures, I have become aware that Nazis do read that for what it looks like.
  22. Clearly the USA isn't the last place it would.
