Not necessarily. It's based on his ORIGINAL visa before annual extensions. It will be either an O or an O-A visa. If O, no insurance needed. If O-A, insurance needed. O is definitely better to the point where many people with O-As have started over with an O.

Yes. Jewish penicillin.

I would not do that. If your only income here is that pension you have no tax accessible income in Thailand and no need to file. Don't seek out trouble. You probably will want to confirm the exemption of your pension with a Thai tax lawyet knowledge about expat issues.

Yeah Zionists love Jew haters. Let's party!

I assume it's related to the CRS form specifically and nothing to do with bank records independent of the form.

To clarify this, there are two levels. Being required to file even if you'll owe no tax, and being required to file if you do owe. Not everyone is required to file at all. As far as how aggressively they're going to enforce this stuff on foreigners who aren't working or earning money otherwise in Thailand, nobody can say. So I guess it's best to assess your personal situation, which really will be different for each person, and make your own decision about compliance.

My feedback. So they wanted your Danish tax ID. They got your Thai Tax ID too because that's the same as your yellow book. If you're in Thailand more than 180 days a year you're a Thailand tax resident regardless. If your pension is EXEMPTED from taxation in Thailand, you can bring it all to Thailand and none of it is accessible as far as Thai taxation and no need to file here either. To know this, you need to find out the terms of the Denmark Thailand Double Taxation Agreement I seriously doubt the bank would know anything about that. Scratch that, I would bet the house they wouldn't know -- they're not revenue agency, they're a banK! I am not sure if it was correct to use your Denmark address rather than your Thai address as I'm assuming you live in Thailand and are a Thai tax resident here (over 180 days). I don't like the bank making these decisions for people on how to fill out those forms. I DO NOT trust them.

I have a fun question. I intend to file Kbank form even though they didn't email me and I also don't intend to get a TIN as I won't have any Thai accessible income this year. But Iikely will have such income at a later year. So then I will probably get a TIN and file (assuming it's clear by now that Thai Revenue is actually enforcing anything on retired expats with no in Thailand income (it should be clear by then). So then I should go in an update or not bother?

Tell us which visa or extension you're seeking. It depends on that.

Not even as a janitor.

Well most likely all Thai banks will eventually follow what Kbank did. Personally I can't exist here without Thai banks.

Thanks for proving once again that Jews are not a monolith. 100 Jews 100 opinions. Without a point by point I think you're being very naive if you actually believe many Palestinians will ever accept the existence of Israel. Palestine River to the sea does mean no Israel. Maybe you support no Israel. That's your right.

I'm also not ashamed to be American. Historically I think an overall positive impact on the world. But clearly we have lost our way putting the autocratic criminal demagogue back in power.

As Harris lost his legacy is trashed anyway so he may as well pardon his son.

You might still need to file and have a TIN but owing no tax.

Well if it's US social security that is exempt and not accessible as far as Thai tax.

I never filed these docs and no email. I'm pretty sure that just means Kbank keyed in my email address incorrectly. The obligation stands regardless.

Is there a choice?

No need for a Thai TIN even if you're a Thailand tax resident if your accessible Thai income is zero or under the filing threshold.

Ridiculous statement. Who doesn’t recognize German!?! No need for relatives.

They huh? Wow.

You don't need to be Orthodox.

There's you using the chosen people hatchet. Anti-Semitism Is Not a Product of Jews Acting Like the 'Chosen People' - Jewish World - Haaretz.com As far as these Germans. sure they could be "Aryan" neo-Nazis, but much more likely leftist college students accusing Israel of genocide or middle east migrant newer Germans.

Presumably by who? Moronic antisemites?

Silly guess. The chance of a young Israeli speaking German or Yiddish are not high. You do realize the language of Israel is Hebrew?
