Thailand to tax residentsβ foreign income irrespective of remittance
The quote of the RD chief didn't say whether she thought the government agreed with her idea of global tax, which involves legislation, or what year she hoped to introduce it. She said the amendment was being drafted but amending Section 41 to cover global income would only take about 5 minutes. Probably a lot of politicians have corruption money salted away in offshore accounts and might not like the idea. Theoretically they would get rid of last year's reinterpretation that made remittances taxable, if the income was earned prior to 2024, as the two systems are contradictory. They can't tax income earned abroad and then tax it again on remittance. But cancelling the remittance tax complete would give a free pass to income earned abroad from 1 Jan 2024 till whenever the start date for global tax might be. They might include a transitory provision to tax that income on remittance. It still leaves a gaping loophole for wealthy Thais like Thaksin who can use family offices to manage their wealth offshore or at least an offshore corporate structure. Any income earned in the corporate would only taxable in Thailand, if the Thai resident beneficiary took a dividend from the company. Overwise as income and capital gains just accumulate in the offshore company. This is obviously grossly unfair to less wealthy Thai residents who can't afford oversas corporate structures but I can't see people like Thaksin wanting to have the corporate veil lifted to tax the Thai corporate owners. They can also set up offshore loans if they want to transfer cash to Thailand tax free instead of taking Thai taxable dividends. -

Schengen Visa Question
What I meant was, we may only be going to one country, so if i applied at the Italian embassy and was approved, could i then enter another Schengen country first, or would it have to be Italy? -

Healthy home-cooked food in a remote location
I live in a remote area along the Burmese border between Ranong and Chumphon, so I can relate to the challenges of cooking in rural Thailand. In my early days, I was a cook in the army reserve and later trained as a chef. My motto now is K.I.S.S. when it comes to both cooking and cleaning up. These days, I avoid frying due to health concerns and the mess, though I understand air fryers may offer healthier alternatives for those who enjoy fried foods. That said, Iβve found I can achieve most of what I like with a rice cooker. Iβve made everything from fried eggs, omelettes, stir-fries, soups, noodles, curries, even banana cake and bread using just a rice cooker. My Toshiba electronic rice cooker is especially good because it keeps rice warm and fresh all day, and it handles most of the dishes Iβve mentioned. As for supplies, I grow some fruit and vegetables and buy the rest locally. When I head to the city, I stock up on frozen meat. Chicken and fish work wellβjust break them down into smaller bags for freezing. Cans of tuna are also a useful standby. Eggs can last for weeks in the fridge, but I buy them weekly from the village. Theyβre another good protein staple, and I donβt refrigerate them. When I stock up on frozen meat in the city, I also pick up a few Western items like baked beans, all-bran, and porridge bread butter etc. Occasionally there, I might treat myself to KFC or pizza, but that's a rare indulgence. Mostly, I stick to local produce and whatβs available from the village market. I recently found out from a neighbor that a daily food truck delivers fresh meat, fruits, and veggies, but I only rely on it when Iβm running short. -

Rising US Missile Superiority Over Russia and China Risks Global Instability, Experts Warn
That's what I was thinking as well, even if you get lucky and destroy a launch site, there's submarines. Russia has ten of them with 608 warheads in total. https://thebulletin.org/premium/2022-02/nuclear-notebook-how-many-nuclear-weapons-does-russia-have-in-2022/ -

Just nearly sent me back home π¦ to Blighty.Β
They've got a long history of causing issues on arrivals, what specifically did the op do against the law or rules? Raised suspicion that he may have been abusing the VE system, perhaps? What, specifically, did the IO do against the law or rules that justifies his being fired? -

Totally legal way to activate Windows
Yes, In another thread today, I talked about Android being based on Linux. ThatΒ΄s just common knowledge. Of course it drives large super computers, as they also work as servers connected to the net. Never said Linux is not the best choice for the web. However, you will hit a snag when you come to all that has to do with secure financial transactions. All reliable systems regarding that are built on Visual Basic as well as driven by Windows servers. After that, there is nothing wrong with my education. -

Most likely noted for awhile ago, and this was the right daynfor him to get an warning and a heads up to get the proper visa. Just him proving his language skills, have a gf and live here more or less permanent excludes him as a tourist.- 1

The process I went through to get a Non O Marriage through evisa Canberra Australia
As you're happy to do 'retirement' please note you don't need a pension to get the non-imm O retirement e-visa from Canberra (or Sydney). I applied in March and it was much simpler than what you had to do for the marriage. Simply had to upload Passport ID page, digital Pic, drivers licence and an Aussie bank statement with equivalent 800k baht. I got mine issued in 3 days- 1
