Been a lifelong Democrat, but the party has moved far left and lost me. Can't believe it, but I'm voting red this time.

I should be joining y'all in Thailand next year, hopefully, so I've been following this thread closely. I think I have a pretty good handle on what the tax implications would be for my particular situation on a remittance basis once I become a tax resident - based on what's on paper from TRD There's been two perspectives I've seen through the thread: 1. Going by the book, what's on paper 2. This is Thailand - let's see what actual practice is As someone who lived in Thailand in 1994-1998 and has been coming "home" every 2-3 years since, it seems to me that as Thailand develops, and now with ambitions to join the OECD, things are going to be come increasingly less 2. and more 1. I'll be keen to see if we get any more detail on treatment of expats as we get closer to the end of the year, and also how the 2024 tax filing season goes next spring. I'm advising family who qualify to look into the LTR WP visa. In the meantime, my plan is to hedge: move in 2025 but not be a tax resident (<180 days) and remit sufficient funds for 2026 or even 2027 so as not to need to remit further funds above the threshold to require a tax filing. The wind looks to be blowing towards OECD and future tax resident taxation on WW income, and I'll be prepared to split my time between 2-3 countries (still with ~175 days in BKK) if that's the case If that becomes a pain, I should also be able to minimize realizing capital gains such that the tax burden to Thailand isn't too onerous and live year-round, but it would still be expensive as I believe Thailand will view Roth Conversions as taxable income, and since they also don't recognize Roth accounts so the final distributions will be taxable as well 😕
