LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
I arrived Phuket International Airport (with my Thai wife) after us being out of country for a week. There was a massive line up of foreigners waiting to clear immigration at the airport - I dare say it would take 60-to-90-minutes to clear that line. Someone in a uniform caught my attention and pointed out a Fast Track line, that had FAR less people in it, ... but they advised it cost 200 baht to enter that line. My Thai wife grabbed and hand and reminded me to go to the Thai citizen line. At the entrance to the Thai line was a sign noting it was for "Thai citizens, aircrew, and priority passengers" (I may have that wording inexact). There was NO ONE in that line. So we went to that line, and I was accepted and was through in about one minute. My permission to stay stamped for me to stay until June-2028 (as I am on an LTR visa - I obtained my LTR visa in June-2023 and I am on the 1st 5-years of that 10 year Visa). I believe I qualified for the "priority" line because I am age-70 and also because I have an LTR visa. And I also 'qualified' for the "Thai line" as I was accompanied by my Thai wife. Having that sign (by the line entrance) stating it was for "Thai citizens, aircrew, and priority passengers" is IMHO an improvement over the past, where I do not recall seeing such a sign. Being allowed to use that short line sure made a big difference in making the return to Thailand more pleasant. -

BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
I also just noticed with the firmware upgrade that was part of the SIM swap/upgrade the Atto Navigation System (i.e., built-in map) is completely different....settings menu, appearance once opening, icons on the map, etc. Will need to play with it more over the coming days to see if this new version is better than the old version as the old version could definitely stand some improvements. But at least my Saved Locations were still in the map. I also noticed the firmware upgrade triggered a notification there was updated Voice Command software for English (American) and Thai ready for download/install which I did successfully via Wifi connection. Yeap...the SIM upgrade comes with a firmware update that goes beyond just "SIM stuff." I expect I'll find more changes over the coming days BUT I'm pretty sure I have already discovered (stumbled across) all the major firmware changes/updates. -

Thai housemaid’s 100 million baht fortune hits a legal snag
Absolutely Absolute...Twaddle. 😂 BZZZZZZ. Inheritance tax takes SOME--NOR ALL money from the LIVING survivors. Have you ever corrected ChatGPT with information that it didn't know? I have. Feel free to correct this... The moral value behind inheritance tax often stems from principles of equity, social justice, and economic fairness. Here’s a breakdown of its moral foundations: 1. Redistribution of Wealth: Inheritance tax can help reduce economic inequality by redistributing wealth from those who inherit large fortunes to fund public goods and services. The idea is that no one should gain undue advantage merely by birthright. 2. Meritocracy: Inheritance tax aligns with the belief that people should succeed based on their abilities and efforts rather than unearned wealth. It encourages individuals to build their own achievements instead of relying on inherited privilege. 3. Social Responsibility: Those who inherit significant wealth benefit from societal systems (e.g., legal protections, infrastructure, and education) that enabled their predecessors to accumulate that The moral value behind inheritance tax often stems from principles of equity, social justice, and economic fairness.

Social Responsibility: Those who inherit significant wealth benefit from societal systems (e.g., legal protections, infrastructure, and education) that enabled their predecessors to accumulate that wealth. Inheritance tax ensures that a portion of this wealth is returned to support the community. 4. Preventing Dynastic Wealth: Without inheritance tax, wealth can become concentrated within a small group of families across generations, perpetuating class divides and limiting social mobility. 5. Equality of Opportunity: By channeling tax revenues into education, healthcare, and other public services, inheritance tax can create opportunities for those who did not inherit wealth, fostering a fairer society. -

Do you always use a Condom?
One of the biggest expat lies is: I always glove up. They want to save face with their beer buddies. This survey is a little closer to the truth , but in my opinion it is closer to 80% who never use. -

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
No This is about setting up the parameters for individuals relating to CRS. Under CRS, Tax residency needs to be established. Gone are the days of earning in 1 Country and pretending to be a resident of another Country to avoid paying tax. -

Help needed with one question about UK frozen state pension.
One should perhaps consider two situations: 1. A visit to the U.K. or other 'unfrozen' country; 2. Establishment (to DWP's satisfaction) of 'habitual residence' in the U.K. or other unfrozen country. -
