LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
I know very well the differences and I did not go into length. I simply pointed out that I am not required to pay capital gain taxes until now. -

Do You Believe: Next year, and the next, will be HOTTER than 2024?
I don't need a physics course to know that my dehumidifier does not warm the room. I need a heater to do that. Try real life and not university theories. No uni educated nurse I worked with was worth their pay till they'd had a year of real nursing in a hospital. That's why the UK would not take an NZ uni educated nurse till they have had a year of practical post grad. They had to be trained to take a BP properly, after 3 years of education. -

Are the Baht busses ruining their own business?
"Your grand daughter should have remained silent, kept her comment to herself." Just your opinion and I don't agree. She's always polite and courteous, thanks to a dedicated focused upbringing from her father (my Thai son) and her Thai mother. She's now coming up to 21 years old. Third year at uni studying a program, in English, basically 'civil society'. She has occasionally seen/heard her dad or her mom make a comment where they thought it was appropriate. When the red truck driver said 'she should stay home and help her mum' she ignored him, she made no response. She did nothing wrong. -

I've never heard of PKK in a conversation. I've read about PKK in news articles, where it was a reference to the Kurdistan Workers Party. -

Good post Charles, more salt to the wounds....LOL 1. You would think that they would, regardless of what fee (50,000 baht) they have paid for the privilege. I say that, as they have to be big earners to apply of it, i.e. $80,000 USD per annum or invest 5 mil here, etc, etc from what I have heard/read, if memory serves me right. Now there is a big fish to fry as they have all the information they require, don't they. 2. It has influenced my decision because under my circumstances, being married to a Thai who has dual citizenship, as do our kids, it's not really an issue, as we can up and go, albeit the kids will have to change schools and country of course, which they would love, earlier than originally planned as I would have liked them to finish school here before going back. Government back in the old country is generous when it comes to hand outs for kids, unemployment benefits, rental subsidy, etc, etc, that said, according to my calculations, one would just have to accept that the handouts would cover the rent and you live off what funds you have been living off here, besides the tax thresholds there are much more generous than here, with a few minor adjustments of course. The only real bad part for me would be downsizing and having colder weather which I suppose I could adjust to....LOL If they want to bring it on, then we are ready for our new life, with free healthcare 🙂 -

The Standard Deduction in the US for married filing jointly is $29,200. The exemption in Thailand that I worked out is about $16,200 or significantly less. If you're making $29,200 a year in the US you're in poverty really and exempt from taxes. But let's say Thailand can tax all of it. You'd be on the hook for 13,000 USD or about 450K THB. So Thailand would get you for about 25,000 THB in taxes when the US wouldn't even tax you. Not quite fair 'eh? I've read the DTA for the US but didn't notice a clause regarding tax allowance such as the US Standard Deduction or even itemized deductions for that matter. Do you know specifically where in the DTA this is stated? "If you receive less than your home countries tax allowance then you will not have to pay tax, that is double taxing, and against the DTA Double Taxing Authority international agreements." -
