    Check out Magic Jack….you get USA number and can receive or make calls to anywhere in USA. All you need is internet. I have used this for years.

    How difficult could it be for police to check for licenses for bars in their areas on a regular basis ? It seems these places are only discovered when there is a big issue. I guess the monthly brown envelopes are preferred.

    The real Elephant in the Room is the possibility of income tax on Worldwide Income. This could be a game changer for many and would certainly discourage some from moving here and buying condos. My thinking is that they would have to announce something very soon or the earliest year where this could be applied would be 2026.

    Is the mail in method of 90 day reporting acceptable if there has been international travel in the past 90 days ? I do realize that online method would not work.

    The only way this would work is by adding a 5th carriage on main lines which will not happen overnight. Also the Silom Line is limited with frequency because of the single platform at Saphan Taksin. I wonder if the government has completed their long overdue payments to BTS too. The 20 baht fare would cost the government a fortune if all lines were included.

    Can you submit 90 day report by mail (vs. visit to CW) if you have been outside the country in the past 90 days ? Actually I have been here since late May and took 2 overseas trips already.

    They really opened the barn door with the low requirements to apply for DTV. Really ridiculous that one could apply for an 5 yr visa after making a dentist appointment. I think changes will be coming by early next year if not sooner.

    Every day in the same spot there are negative comments about Trump. It seems so orchestrated I wonder if China or some other entity like USA Democrats are behind this. Very glad the election will be over soon. Neither candidate is ideal but Harris is totally incompetent and has done nothing since she became VP.

    I wonder why (mostly) negative commentary on Trump seems to appear in every online issue in the same spot. While he certainly has his faults the idea of Harris running the country is downright scary.

    I am going for Non O retirement extension soon. Have not received TM 47 for a year because of travel (before 90 days) and 4 month stay in home country. Also have new address here on current stay which started at end of May. I don’t have TM 47 slip from a year ago….is this a problem ?

    There is no place in the RTP for a reasonably honest (by Thai standards) police officer at a high level.

    The article in Pattaya Mail yesterday looks very credible to me and a 12/31/24 deadline for bringing in old savings was clearly given. I see this as closing a loophole.
  13. Searat7
    It seems that the Savings issue has been clarified for 2024 with a time limit to get your old savings into the country by year end but the RD has said nothing about taxing Global Worldwide income possibly starting next year. Sometime I think they put things out there as trial balloons to gauge reaction which of course has been very negative ( Worldwide Income Tax). So we can just wait and see what happens.

    Why would they negotiate with squatters living there illegally ?

    Thank you…I got the Reentry permit at DMK. Very easy to carry 2 passports for a few months. Much easier than waiting in yet another line at CW.
