LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
You made your point very clear, but I think you will find massive disagreement from many of us, who already decided we were going to live in Thailand long before the LTR visa, and in fact even more so ? it was relevant to those of us living in Thailand long before the LTR visa. When I applied for the LTR visa, the taxation aspect was the LAST thing on my mind. The LAST. At that time, these new tax interpretations and potential (not yet) new tax law were not even talked about. I think that is clear. The taxation aspects only came out later. In my case, the taxation benefit of the LTR visa was an aspect that I did not think important when I applied for the LTR visa. So if tax not an issue, why then, apply for the LTR visa? 1. Its cheaper than a type-O / OA visa over a 10 year period if one considers the included multiple re-entry. So LTR is superior financially. 2. No need for 90-day reports. Instead yearly reports, and for those of us who travel internationally once/year, possibly NO reports dependent on our departure date. So LTR is superior in terms of reports. 3. Instead of EVERY YEAR (on a Type-O/OA) visa, having to prove one's financial status, one only has to prove such every 5 years. That is a big convenience for many of us on the LTR visa (in particular for those who have the money). 4. Access to FAST TRACK lines which is very useful for those who do not fly business class and who also do not have a Thai spouse and who are also not considered a senior. That is a BIG benefit for those who travel through crowded airports. 5. Self health-insurance is possible with the LTR visa (for those of us who have the money), as compared to the Type-OA visa where one has to obtain health insurance from the Thai branch of a Health insurance company, or (for those on a Type-OA) be forced to dump their Type-OA and go for a type-O. In fact the LTR will even allowed health insurance from a non-Thai branch of a health insurance company (if one can show the necessary paperwork, which some users have been able to do). So the LTR is once again superior there. So UNLIKE yourself, many of us DO get benefit, independent of ANY tax considerations. Frankly, your tax concerns apply to ALL OTHER Thai visas, even more than the LTR visa, if one wishes to stay in Thailand >180days. A great thing (IMHO) about Thailand is it has many different visas, and we each get to choose the one is best for us. -

Transfer car from my company to me - Is there a way to avoid or reduce VAT?
I don't use this company since 3 years, just paid the annual tax report in case I would use it again. But I am sure now I don't, so I am closing.... -

Wife transfers from dependent visa to Retirement Visa in case I pass away before her.
Not illegal at all if your spouse is entitled to your assets by law. It may be immoral, but it's not illegal. -

Tourism Minister Aims to Levy 300-Baht Fee for Visitors
How about Thailand goes after corruption in its own house to gain revenue instead of always looking at tourists/farangs?! I'm sure there's trillions of baht being squandered away every year. Oh, that's right, we can't ask those types of questions, people will get upset and lose face. Easier to go after the farangs, easy targets. -

Swift endorsement turns more voters from harris than it attracts…
Look, all I'm saying, the only endorsements that would matter in this election are endorsements by: 1. John Mearsheimer 2. Naom Chomsky 3. Norman Finkelstein 4. Douglas Diamond 5. Chadd Wright It's good to see voters are not swayed by non-entities like Taylor Swift. I mean Jesus Christ, why not ask Justin Bieber. It's ridiculous. -

What did you have for breakfast?
So not too boring, wings (from night market), added to my usual eggs. Along with asparagus, freshly picked this AM from garden. Wings all of 10 baht each, tasty & meaty vs KFC, at ~55 baht now for 3 wings zap. Love a bargain 😎 -

They just need a new man-god to glom onto and they will quickly forget about the old orange grifter. There are always new ones appearing out of the wood work. Give it a minute. -

Bill Gates Warns of Likely Pandemic Within Next 25 Years
I suspect Bill has enough money. Like most leftists, it's control of other people's lives that he really craves. Hence him being a fully paid up member of the climate alarmist doomsday cult. -

Not in the case when it's your legally entitled spouse if you gave them access.
