Thai tax riddle: Elite Visa holders off the hook?
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Starting January 1 this year, assessable income sent from abroad by Thais or foreigners residing in Thailand for at least 180 days will be subject to personal income tax... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did they actually Clarify how it goes after all? Do they impose levy on the remittance from outside Thailand when the money came into the Thai account? Or does the individual need to lodge tax return? By now, it only looks like tax chief is barking own wishful thinking though. Did anyone here ever get any notice from your bank after you credited own money from abroad into your account here? -

Chiang Mai City, Floods Expected to Surpass 2011 Levels
black tabby12345 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Chiang Mai News
Looks pretty bad. Is it on the ground floor? -
First 90 day report - does it have to be done in person, not online? ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Try Online only if it works now. I have tried it before, but never worked. So I do it in person Every Time. If they can't properly maintain standard service like this, how can they expect they can do better with ETA? Just doesn't make any sense.

Thailand Delays Automated Entry System for Foreign Tourists
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
After all, nobody really knows ETA(estimated time of arrival) of the Electronic Travel Authorization. Various political manifests by the Pheu Thai govt now... Looks like an airport flight status board during the stormy weather. -
Thailand Delays Automated Entry System for Foreign Tourists
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Very sorry to hear that. Absolutely an awful and upsetting experience, isn't it? So their new ETA could well end up as another mess. All from the bureaucrats' Empty Pride; so obsessed with harassing foreigners in some means. They must be upset with the absence of Mutualism: Granting same/even conditions each other. The 1st world travelers can just drop in here(only valid passport and some money needed in their pockets) by air/land. But often No Vice-Versa to Thais(other than among ASEAN member states). To some high-ranking man in the department, the entry requirements gap could look like 19th century Unequal Treaty that disadvantaged them. That must be why they seek some form of Revenge. That is my presumption regarding behind-the-scenes psychology. -

13 hours ago, ikke1959 said: Unbelievable... Now the same sex marriage Law is signed --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allowing Same Sex Marriage won't cost them any money. But 10000B dole to 30 millions will. Even if it is just one-off. -

Thailand Delays Automated Entry System for Foreign Tourists
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system's debut has yet to be determined... ------------------------------------------------------------------- In other words, they are not even sure if they really do it? While they publicized it would be coming toward the end off this year(December). Better keep the current system; manual processing with the desk top PC at the immigration check point instead of complicating things. Otherwise, it only increases the stress among those in uniform at the frontline.
