He sold his soul a long time age if he ever had one. But oddly one of the most qualified of the Trump cabinet picks.

What a bizarre disingenuous distortion of my post. I don't have time to for such pest-like behavior. GOODBYE.

Trumo LIED!

Obviously, if you don't mind the rapid destruction of the rule of law and American democracy which is happening right now under Musk/Trump. We'll never agree. I consider supporters of Musk/Trump to be anti American and allied with our enemies Russia and China (although for the latter they don't always understand they are doing that).

I don't believe it is possible for that to be a hard and fast rule. Each officer has the power to reject any application at any time hopefully with reason and showing up with an overstay is obviously a totally defensive reason (not that it really matters if it's a bad reason). So I think you're barking up the wrong tree here. Deal with the ambiguity.

I am curious about your opinion in general in cases where hospitalization isn't in play. In other words, an expat shows up somewhat late (for example from a few days to a few weeks) for their extension. Do you think in most cases they will probably give a deserved rude lecture but still be allowed to apply with overstay fines, or not? In my opinion, in most cases this just based on years of reading the forum, that it will usually be allowed.

I agree he won. Now we have to deal with that dangerous and idiotic outcome.

So far I have only seen one maga fascist red hat in Thailand (in Jomtien). It turns out the guy was trolling for people to object to it probably for right wing youtube content. I don't mind if people want to make fools of themselves wearing that here. It tells you what they are so you don't need to guess. There is a Make Soi 6 Great Again hat for Pattaya but that's obviously just a joke.

Now he wants to control arts and culture. Like Hitler did.

Jewish owned media? Another live one.

That's a gross oversimplification of his position, His actual position is that he doesn't think it will impact most retired expats. Presumably because of pension DTAs. But he's very clear that it will impact many people but the only way to know if you're one of those people is to look at (or have a Thai lawyer/tax guy look at) the specific details of your specific situation to know for sure. I for one am one of those retired expats that he suggests probably won't be impacted. But turns out I will be impacted because of the specific nature of the type of income that I will be remitting. So nobody should use such oversimplified generalizations from anyone about whether they will or won't be required to enter the tax system here. That does not wash. You need to go deeper.

So to you, are all Israelis guilty of those crimes or only the actual perps? Do you apply that standard to all nationalities of misbehaving foreigners in Thailand?

Correction: Behavior by these ISRAELIS. Also, why shouldn't Thai law treat all the same, or does it get you hard to see Israelis (or as you say Jews) singled out?

Not a landslide. Stop lying.

I actually agree with revoking the security clearance of Donald Trump. The man is unwell and on a permanent decline. In a matter of a few weeks he has declared war on three friendly countries, installed an unelected China adjacent weirdo to control all U.S. government payment systems defying the constitutional power of congress, and much much more. He should be allowed a peaceful imprisonment or retirement.

Paul is the cutest innit.

Rich of you to call OTHER people demented.

So much negativity about Israelis here. There is a lot more to Israel and Israelis than horrible acting tourists.

He loves the support of Christian evangelicals who need Israel to still exist to fulfill their apocalyptic prophesies which includes the damnation of all Jews. With "friends" like that, who needs enemies?

Agreed. If you did want to leave to avoid being a tax resident during the large medical expense that would only sometimes be possible based on the timing. For example in the seventh month of a stay in Thailand you did the remittance, you would owe the next year regarless. Some might be tempted to just leave Thailand altogether. So then it would be down to ENFORCEMENT. Would/could Thailand go after such people after they've left if they have nothing left in Thailand? I don't know. But one thing they COULD eventually do is to require tax clearances to leave. In which case in the medical crisis example, the survivor if they couldn't pay could end up in Thai prison for not paying. Big fun!

Maybe they were Russians. Lots of Israelis are.

They're not going to be apologizing to you for breathing.

Chinese and Russian patriots more like.

Singapore isn't a retirement magnet. KL has great hospitals but a higher bar for retirement. Manila also has great hospitals. Vietnam no retirement visa. There are many other options other places as well. Europe, Latin America. etc. In some places you can actually enter into a decent national health care system (Colombia for example but bad for taxation). Panama for example no taxation on non Panama income or assets.

TRD can see remittances and they might do some audits of foreigners with large and/or unusual remittance pattetns. They won't have the bandwidth to audit everone with remittances.
