I hardly doubt it.

Just another massive over exaggeration from countries over absolutely nothing.

Like always when politicians talk in stead of scientists ....have we forgotten already that Trump assured his nation that the virus would blow away quickly while his scientists were not allowed to speak freely?

I would like to send maybe around 20,000 - 30,000 €uros into my Thai BKK Bank. Using Transferwise.

 

There's any chance that they may block the funds and asking "the proof of sources", or someone get his account closed suddenly without any reasons ? (the money is legit, is my savings, but here in EU, they saw any large amount transfer as potential funds of terrorism or money-laundering & requesting proofs) I am not aware in Thailand if they act the same.

 

And right, I saw they're coming as "International transfer" so it gonna count well right for the Immigration Bureau for extend the visa, it's ok even the sum are just send like little by little, like 2-3 k each transfer for the Immigration later ?

I have only problems if I need to export some my money back home....I had to it in small amounts and to declare it was humanitarian aid for my family

Hello.

 

Does anyone have any news about the Pfizer or the AstraZeneca vaccine being available at a private hospital....and if so...when.

Not the Sinovax.....but one of others?

I expect to pay of course...

Appreciate your help.

one can suspect the Chinese government of many manipulations but not that they would allow distribution of an inferior vaccine which would damage not only their population but then also their economy

Misleading heading. Most Thais think all foreigners shouldn't get a jab and a minority of Thais think they should pay. 

 

As a Thai, I think all foreigners entering the country should be vaccinated but not those living here. 

 

I think they should pay themselves. Those working will have health insurance. Those not working can afford it. 

The question is what kind of vaccine ...Sinovac, Sputnik, etc..or AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna ???

They are looking for water on Mars but cannot find it in Texas????

 I have had a Lenovo All-In-One PC for about 3 or 4 years and it's a bit slow and clunky and I'm worried it might die on me, so rather than wait, thought I might buy a backup, another All-In-One, and saw this on Lazada and wonder if it might fit the bill. I really know very little about computers, so hoping I might get some opinions on this

I am very happy with a HP DESKTOP AIO 24-DP0203D with 256 Solid State Disk for the operating system and a traditional HD of 1 Terabyte for the data....I paid less than 20,000 THB

If is believed Iran was in compliance before Trump cause problem maybe Iran is not so wrong saying who need step back first.

It was not "believed" but absolutely sure that Iran was in compliance....Don't forget  there were other partners in this deal :  the EU and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States—plus Germany....It was only Donald the Great who - pushed by his buddies (UAE, KSA and Israel) - decided that the deal had to be abandoned.

6.8 million is of course about 10% of the population, so massive numbers "falling through the cracks."

The remaining question is what kind of vaccine will be used ...the mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer) or the many times cheaper Astrazeneca and other vaccines?

This isn't something that can be diagnosed over the internet

 

Too many possible causes

 

May not  be "bloating" as such. Could be ascites (fluid accumulation) which in turn can have many causes, all pretty serious

 

See a doctor

 

 

This illustrates the importance of GP's with private clinics as they exist in the cities, towns and even villages of most of the EU member states...Here in Thailand the only solution for foreigners seems to go a a hospital where the patient is directly referred to a specialist and then becomes only a number.

the warning about getting worms from eating pork meat is much older than Islam and also much older than the Jewish religion ....but both religions were smart enough to incorporate it in their teachings

Took my new passport to immigration last Tuesday along with the old one and a letter from my embassy. Took about 15 minutes for them to do it (including my 90-day report) and they charged me 200 baht.

I did the same last week and it took me also 15 minutes ...and it was free of charge

If I read this correctly & your wife made an income in Thailand obviously she would need to declare over a certain amount.

Monies you sent from abroad to your account I presume are "tax paid" at source so you can give some to her without further tax liability on her behalf.

Legally, if your money sent has never been taxed you may need further clarification as is a grey area

 Message from OP  :   my Thai wife was warned that I ....and not she ....need to pay tax on the monthly transfer of  my pension (minimum 40,000 THB) I transfer to support her.   She was told so at the occasion she declared the money she made for herself one time and for the first time in our marriage of more than 30 years.

I am staying on non IMM "O" yearly extension based on marriage.

Since several years I make therefore monthly transfers of minimum 40.000 Baht/month to my account here in Thailand

My Thai wife made exceptionally some money and she declared this to-day to the Thai tax authorities

Now the Thai tax authorities warned my wife that this is "income" and therefore I am subjected to tax...

My pension is already taxed in my home country and there is a treaty with Thailand to avoid double taxation.

What is the experience of other TVF members making money transfers to comply with Immigration Laws?

What if 2 months before applying for extension I deposit 400.000 Baht in my account : is this then also taxable income?
