OK. Getting into the weeds here. Combo method was always complex. For those of us that can't get income letters anymore the complexity is multiplied. There needs to be a monthly import and bank account for such people. The qualification levels are confusing. Surely not all offices will even accept combo. The Integrity Legal.lawyer guy recently said combo was finished. You're saying at least for your office you can do.it OK.

No! The assertion that all or most Americans that were using the letters before were lying is a disgusting lie.

"Pattaya can longer rely on elderly retiree expats While substantial Thai tourism will certainly resume once the pandemic subsides, the traditional expat market is already in steep decline. These are the guys who retired here on fixed pensions to enjoy the golden years before the prospect of the crematorium became a near-term possibility. Journalist Sarah Scuzzarello describes this group as “Elderly retirees enacting privilege over local people because of their superior wealth.”" https://www.pattayamail.com/latestnews/news/pattaya-can-longer-rely-on-elderly-retiree-expats-388987 It appears that it is indeed headed that way. BTW: Compliments to Barry Kenyon for all his columns. Is he not the most brilliant writer on expat issues here?

I don't believe there is a one size fits all plan. In fact I totally REJECT that. There are good reasons to sell up: Great timing for large profits Taking the primary residence tax break not available to landlords Needing the windfall to fund expatriation Poor temperament match for being a landlord Avoiding the possible great complications of being a landlord from abroad even using management firms KEEP IT SIMPLE Investing windfall money in other investment classes. If you love real estate you can buy reits. Age when selling, estimated life expectancy Ties to the US or lack thereof Strong intention to never move back though of course minds can change Each person faces their own unique decision making process based on complex factors There is no guarantee of making the best decision whatever decision is made.

MRNA booster better for those with two AstraZeneca jabs
Jingthing replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
I just had my Moderna booster today after the initial two AZs. Had to pay for it. No problem. I would have been fine with the free Pfizer but I was not comfortable with the super spreader environments of the venues I had access to for it.
