Excuse that may be off-topic or a duplicate request: this year, I am switching to the income method, for my retirement visa expension. It expires Feb 12. I have 12 months pension income receipts, coming into my Thai bank account., Each one exceeding 65k, one for each month. Also for the months of Jan and Feb 2025, if needed. I have followed the rules for maintaining the 800,000 term deposit. I am aware of the documentation requirements, including the new one requiring that you show 12 months bank statement of your 800,000 term deposit. My quetsion is this : can someone refer  me to the specific Regulation which identifies by which date you can withdraw the 800000 baht depost.? Thanks.

 I would encourage anyone who is clearly required to file a Thai tax return, to file one.

 

Having type that,  my view is that unless the Thai government has another (non-tax related) reason  to evict one from the country, there is more likely to be just the government fining one some money , and after the fine is paid 'all is forgiven'.  

 

However if the government is looking for an excuse, to go after an individual, then not filing/paying taxes can always be a good excuse that government's will 'hang their hat' on and proceed with eviction or some imprisonment.

''older CPA'' here: this is a letter I sent to my tax/audit office today. For what it's worth:

some would say - a better 'nom de plume' for you would be 'advanced brain rot'. read any empire's history - once it is divided, it is (i) conquered) or (ii) fails.  read how divided the USA is - split 50:50 by political ideology - and weep.

I don't have that many bitcoin. 3/4 years ago I moved all my BTC into alts. Mostly Polkadot, getting 19% in a non-custodial wallet, and also in a US bank(Kraken). Also I am big in Multiversx. 

I lost 5% of my portfolio on Terra Luna. 

I started buying bitcoin around 53,000 baht, although accumulated/exchange some before that. XRP made me a lot in 2017, but I don't own any now. 

impressive research history. 🙂

Bitcoin vs Gold

 

USD vs Gold

 

I own gold, silver and bitcoin. None of them to get rich quick. All of them as a partial hedge against governments' mismanagement/ mendacity. None of them are going to zero (I only became certain about that wrt BTC a few years ago). At the moment I choose gold over the others. BTC might "make more mathematical sense", but that's not enough to guarantee that gold won't be a part of any large scale currency revaluation/ dollar devaluation.

 

Gold because of its 5000 year track record as money, on and off. It's not a good hedge against inflation if you compare it to a given CPI (even the manipulated official CPIs that are produced at the national level). While the BRICS might eventually use XRP somehow, it doesn't explain why China and Russia (and lately many other countries) are now building up their reserves of the "pet rock"/ "barbarous relic".

 

Silver because of the current gold:silver ratio.

 

Bitcoin because it has performed very well over the last 10-15 years and solves a lot of problems at the individual level. It is private, cryptographically secure money. It is a form of financial disintermediation. It isn't going to be made illegal (this has been tried a few times but it hasn't caught on) and I don't think it's going to zero. Hell, Trump might order the U.S.A. to buy a million of them (that is about 5% of all the ones mined so far).

you live in Thailand, right. I do not know if you have to report for Tax in your country of origin. But can i add a thought. there's chatter about the Thai Govt trace/taxing crypto trading profits (income or capital gains?) Same all over the capitalistic world. part of my retirement investment portfolio, is, in (don't laugh) Thai Income funds. they are low risk/high yield. The profits from trading are tax exempt, as are any other capital  gains from trading stocks here (warning! not investment advice). income is taxed at 10%. (some of which is possibly recoverable). sort of off-topic - i've filed Thai tax returns for years, due to having local rental income. .

Errrrr. The appointments are not usually voted for by the public at large, just the senate. No one voted for Kelly or Bolton.

That isn't the same as POTUS.

what you write is true, historically. but these are starting to look like different times. I know the big T is misquoted about his ''dictator for a day'' remark (which he threw out there for the MAGA fans to lap up). lots of chatter out there, about Musk's appointment. there is no doubt that the big T. wants to push through appointment of all of his nominees, regardless of the Senate approval process.  and he has already said that the process of the constitutional separation of powers, could be evaded, by trying to do a blanket bypass of Senate's core advice-and-consent authority. all for the sake of his definition of efficiency. maybe he's right?  or maybe the saying Where's there smoke' comes to mind.

So no record of Trump getting a billion from oil executives, huh? Oops 

 

Trump promising to drill is something new?

 

 

He doesn't need it - he has made more money selling most of the ambassadors' appointments . If he does get it, it will be channelled into the Bibles Fund, or one of the many other charitable oranizations that Trump sets up every time he farts. Get serious - this is the only man in the world to go bankrupt operating a casino. 555

And, will any of this bring Thaksin back to jail where he belongs? No.

Sad. But looking at the rest of the world, including the so-called civilized world, nobody should be surprised. 

 

he's acting like he's on one of Musks' rockets - heading to the moon. what is more likely is that the old saying will come true: ''the bigger they are, the harder they fall'' . as a Christian by nature, I don't wish ill will. But it will make my day when it happens. because the rest of the family are pretty usless deplorables.

Nothing said about the IRA killings of innocent citizens in the past?

off topic. But, if you want to resurrect Sunday Bloody Sunday , or Zombie (the IRA bombings in England). you might want to read the smpathies which motivated Bono & Dolores O'  Riordan, to write those songs. They are/were completely against civilians being killed in war as are most in the Republic of Irish. except for the racist comments by people like Yagoda (who is obviously from the North, which is British) . 

the Immediate Luminary Scam has made the news, again. would it not be a good idea to publicise this at AN ? I subscribe to the Post - so the latest reports came in today. the emphasis was more about the interviewer trying it out and making immediate (apparent) profits. then there are several links to YouTube pundits trying out the same ''research''.  i pity the uneducated (even including the greedy) Thais, yet again.

Exactly its within its right. 

 

"Ireland's antisemitic actions and rhetoric against Israel are based on delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state and on double standards," he continued. "Ireland crossed all the red lines to speak to Israel. Israel will invest its resources in promoting bilateral relations with the countries of the world according to priorities that are also derived from the attitude of the various countries towards it."

 

I note you keep making a reference to well done Ireland. Strange as I you can see Hamas are also very pleased. After all, attempting to change the legal definition on a charge when its midway through a trial is every terrorists dream. They forgot its the ICJ that defines an already defined charge, not at hoc countries that want decide to join. But I suggest you read the OP its all been covered already.

when will you wake up to the sentiments on which the Irish position is based - the criminality of the deliberate killing of civilians in war  Hamas fits that definition for sure. Why should Isreal get a free pass? Isreal military bombs the jejasus out of women and children. ( conservative estimates put the numbers killed, in Gaza,, by the Isreali military in the past 12 months at more than 6,000 women and 11,000 children). if that does not float your boat, the concept of bombing a civilian population into eternity, (a significant % of whom do not support Hamas) in order to get revenge on the Hamas army of, what 15,000 - 20,000 should do so. It strikes me as inhumane. then again the popular terms for Arabs used by Isreal are  ''dogs and subhumans. for transparency I'm Irish born and proud of what my country stands up for - the dispossessed.

Swissy was given an attitude adjustment lesson in manners. Thai kids just go around bashing tourists for no reason. 

 

Tourism has recovered since Covid, the easy visa policy has had its desired outcome.

Time to crackdown now and make it harder for these undesirables with no manners.

They make it harder on all us nice people here.

I don't see how they could possibly change the definition without it resulting in genocide in every future conflict!

These people have remained completely silent throughout atrocities caused by Islamists!

Syria 600,000 murdered

Yemen 300,000 murdered

Nigeria Boko Harem murdering Christians

Yazidi Genocide

Many other acts of mass murder including

Rohingya Genocide by Myanma Junta.

 

What do all of these have in common?
There is no possible way that they can be blamed on Jews!

impressive research. but your logic is flawed and worse - you do not propose a solution - just attack the Irish led attempt to deal with ALL attrocities. Muslims have been killing Muslims, like for ever, due to the major division in Islam, between Shiite and Sunni followers. Assad is a Shiite. so they killed 600,000 'non-believers' nothing to do with Ireland or 'these other people' you want to target. Roghingya are Muslim and were massacred  by the junta representing extremest Buddhists

I opted for that as the only asset in my name is the Bank account with the 800k.

Everything else eg Car, Real estate etc is in her name. 

we had a new arrival plus his new gf visit us (to welcome them to the area). I suggested using a land holding company, to hold the land he was proposing to buy and subdivide - prime land. his response was a casual ''naw - i trust her with my life' . we're talking about  an online gf from 3 months earlier. I often wonder, do many arrivals leave their mental facilities at home, when they move to Thailand.? good to know, they're still together. the kicker -  we  didn't get invited to the wedding. 555

A few years ago, a friend asked for my advice on a crypto to pour some gambling money into.  I told him XRP, which, at the time was trading at around 25 cents.  Unfortunately, I didn't take my own advice.

 

I'm not recommending it now, but I've seen some pretty wild projections on the possibility of price appreciation from here. 

same same.  a buddy from Dublin recommended it,, at 30 cents, 50 cents etc. I did not inhale.
