They made lately a few visa more attractive.. but why on earth would a wealthy person want to reside in Thailand if his WORLDWIDE income would be taxed more than he managed to do so far? Open your eyes, you want more money flow into thai economy, you propose new and easier visa on 1 hand, but on the other hand with the proposals of former PM Sretta of taxing foreigners who stay more than 6 months per year in Thailand you make everyone step back from investing buying properties in Thailand and they will reduce their time to stay less than 6 months per year in Thailand or simply move away, sell their property and consider more friendly, more attractive, and less greedy neighbooring countries like Viêtnam, Cambodia and the Philippines that don't have automatic fiscal exchange like CRS from the OECD, or FATCA and will not want to tax foreigners like that ! That's without counting that it's still not allowed to buy like almost everywhere in Europe or other continents a real plot of land with the house)(without employing thai nominees in a company to own the Land which is still illegal! although done by hundreds of thousands if not millions of foreigners) and still not allowed to have the same rights on it than locals, plus no social security even if you would pay your taxes in Thailand. add countless reports and paperwork with immigration... and more hassles, time loss and money spent with filing proper tax reports from both sides, paying lawyers/accountants in Thailand as in your home country.. I think you can make even free 20 years visa, if you are going into this direction with the taxes, and no advantages for us but only burdens, it's not going to work, that's a fact and logic !

Months after this post, when I was not aware of a project to tax remitance earned abroad(introduced in 2024 I think by Sretta) , but just after the ousting in August of SRETTA the PM and the change with the daughter of Thaksin appointed as a new PM, I wonder if the hassle with the double taxation will persist...

Expats angry at huge concessions in latest Thai visa announcements
cedel replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
in theory from 2024 onwards, you will be taxed on your worldwide income as a thai fiscal resident and maybe a double tax treaty could be invoked to prevent it but it seems that you will need to file a tax report in Thailand...with all the fees and bother associated -

cedel replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
yes but if stay in Thailand more than 180 days per year, you will have to bother and pay a lawyer or accountant to file a thai resident tax report, and risking to be taxed 2 times, with a lot of paperwork also in your home country... -

Thailand mulls allowing foreigners to buy 75% of condo units
cedel replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Anyway, you are still not allowed to buy the plot of land where your house is constructed, contrarily to western countries where everyone who buys a house buys also the parcel of land and garden belonging to the house ! In Thailand, this problem makes it almost mandatory to buy or create a thai company with nominees, which is reportedly not legal and faces problems if they decide it...although this practice has been used largely nationwide for decades by all the foreigners to circumvent this law about the land... We have all heard of the French lady who commited suicide in Koh-Samui and donated her house to her maid, and the company owning the land with nominees is said to be an illegal practice.... -
I am from Belgium, 59 years old, so I still don't have "pension" now, but I am disabled from work and get the monthly equivalent of 54,000 to 56,000 THB depending on the rate, of course I have savings to complete this amount every month if I can and if allowed to just send 65,000 (minimum) Baht from my own bank account or my wise to my thai bank account. For the moment, I have the 800,000 required but not for long enough,so I will do a visa run to meet the 60 days +15 days processing time for Non-O. I would not like to leave the 800000 permanently and almost without interest on a savings or even fixed deposit account. So that's why I'm interested in the method of sending every month at least 65000 (if the rate is very good could I send for example 100,000 some months ? And then less than 65000 the next month or has it to be at least 65000 per month ? ) Is it enough to just transfer every month at least 65000 B, even if my allowance is less than that ? Do they not require in Jomtien an indemnity certification that would, in my case be around 680,000 B per year so under the 800,000 ? Also if asked by immigration, can I just download this statement or should that be certified by the Belgian Embassy in Bkk ? And last question, if we could have a mix of let's say 100,000 or maximum 200,000B Baht in money stuck on my thai book bank, then could I send the difference every month ? In the case I would leave 200,000 B I guess I should have then to send every month (800,000-200,000)=600,000/12=50,000 B per month ? Once again, I don't have pension yet, only monthly indemnity from the social security, and is sending from my bank account enough or do I need any other certification ?

Concert in Kelantan with sexy Thai dancers stirs controversy
cedel replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What a hypocrisy ! Many men recorded and took plenty of pics for their collection... Nothing really sexy here, 'nothing new in Thailand., it has always been like that for all the concerts that I have seen or heart about in Thailand, a young girl dancing and singing is sexy by nature, nothing new, and in some other shows, singers or dancers are wayyy more sexy and suggestive, there are very sexy coyotees also , and by the way, why not offend at the overly sexy girls hunting customers or seducing guys in the disco's not only in Pattaya or Phuket but everywhere in Thailand including in Bkk. not to mention the go-go bars where they sometimes are topless or nude.. (and I forgot the ping-pong shows) 😉...! -
show money-money-money...all the time...also in FB and Insta posts from many thai girls, proud to "show" how much they received from their(s) sponsor(s)...and so greedy to always try to take advantage and think all "farangs" are rich ! And what a hypocrit joke if it's only to show and later give back ! Show bank account statement then, like you have to do for visa in Thailand???? For many of us, it is a disgusting and turn-off old-fashioned custom. 12 years ago, we talked about that with my thai gf at the time and yes, she told me it's only "to show", but if it would happen, the parents that were also middle-class did not need it and would return everything back...I think return to their daughter...lol, but finally, 1 year later we broke up and I have never been married until now. And yes, why marry? Just live together, less formalities, headaches, and costs !
