LTR Investment Suggestions
Wake Up1 replied to JB300's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Contact the LTR. I don’t believe the 80,000 requirements still exist. Anyway I gave them one tax return and not two. They want to give you the LTR if you are financially well off. They respond to emails and are responsive and well educated staff. -
US Expat in Thailand Faces 10 Years for Threatening US Senator
Wake Up1 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Sounds like the type of guy who wears a MAGA costume and breaks into the capital threatening police officers and the life of the Vice President and house Speaker. 😉 Should he should expect a pardon and restitution after his arrest and trial. 😎 -

Selling my Permanent Visa from EliteCard
Wake Up1 replied to RedJam's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
10 year LTR visa is 50,000 baht and no 90 day reports and exempt from Thailand taxes owed and you can get a work permit if desired. I don’t see anyone close to age 50 and above paying anything close to 6 million baht now that the LTR visa is available. I prefer the LTR visa and its benefits and cost over any and all the various Thai Elite Visas. -
Bangkok Condo Raided Over Illegal Daily Rentals and Cannabis Use
Wake Up1 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Hotels are the answer. People who live in condos or neighborhoods don’t want to put up with illegal AirBnB owners, users and parties. Prosecute the owners and users of illegal AirBnB condos. -
Future Uncertain for Retiree Bank Accounts in Thailand
Wake Up1 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
He was probably out of his province. Out of province atm fees are 15 or 20 baht. Out of province bank deposits are 15 baht. So out of province cashless transfers are similar to atm withdrawals with a 15 baht fee. -
Teenage Brit Involved in Fatal Road Collision in Pattaya
Wake Up1 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
19 year old Driver. All over the world 18 and 19 year old drivers have the highest insurance rates for a reason. All of us were 19 and did dumb things once. Death penalty rhetoric for 19 year old drivers is either a wind up or you need some mental help. -
Driven in Bangkok for many years and I live near the accident scene. Only once in many years did a motorbike hit my mirror and he stopped. No real damage. I find your version of stating motorbikes hit your cars often is either misleading or you are the most unlucky driver in Bangkok. Yes there are a lot of motorbikes. Yes they pass on both sides of your car. But they do not collide with cars or mirrors often with the majority of drivers.

Need to get a Thai passport certified
Wake Up1 replied to JohnOFphon's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thank you. I looked up the USA embassy website and you are correct. I did not believe the USA embassy would certify a foreign passport but they will. -

Did you overreact like this when you were a child? Get some perspective. Calm down and learn to not fear the worse possible outcomes. Chill 😊 -
Tax Deducted from Savings Account
Wake Up1 replied to ravip's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Bangkok Bank withholds 15 percent from fixed accounts even if they know your tax number. Step one - last week went to Bangkok bank and got the tax receipt from the teller for tax paid step two - walked to Times Square Building on sukhumvit road ( located between Sheraton Grande Hotel and Korean Town) Went to the 13 floor to Thailand tax office. There a nice lady speaks English and she filled out my tax return for the withheld interest and showed me where to sign. then walk to desk 7 and file your return. Get a receipt and in 30 to 60 day you get a check in the mail for your withheld interest. if you don’t have a tax identification number then get one at Times Square Building 13 floor and then repeat steps one and two above. if you never get a refund check after two months (happened once in last several years ) go to the tax office on sukhumvit Soi 13 and advise them with your passport and tax return. They will resolve your issue and get you a replacement refund check. -
Your first renewal from two years to five years must be renewed before the two year license expires. If you renew it after the two year license expires you only get two years again and not five years. When you get your five year license you wait until after your birthday month to renew your five year license and you get six years instead of five years. Big difference between the two year and five year license renewal strategy.

Trump on Immigration: "We need a lot of people coming in."

Not sure about Chang Mai location to get authentic as I am in Bangkok. You get your Thailand birth certificate translated into English by a services recognized by your embassy. Your enbassy has a list of approved Thai translators. Then you take the original and translated birth certificate to the MFA office in Thailand to get the authentic stamp. In Bangkok you go to the attached office at Chang Wattana. I would guess Chang Mai has an MFA office also.

I got the LTR after doing one year extensions for several years at CW. Worth the 50,000 baht I spent for the LTR visa. Easy to submit paper work. LTR staff helpful, kind, educated and pleasant to deal with. No visiting CW. 1 year report rather than 90 day report. Can get a residence certificate the same day for 500 baht. No Thailand tax issues. Can get a work permit if you want one. No 800k needed in the Thai bank. Multiple re-entry permit included in the price. IMO much better value than one year extensions or elite visa. Basically no visa issues for 10 years except to show you still qualify after 5 years.
