Story Of My Thai Citizenship Application
I tried to upload the Nationality Act, as requested about but it seems that AN no longer accepts Pdf or Word files for uploading which makes it difficult. I don't have a link on hand but there are plenty online. One thing to be wary of is that you need the 1965 Nationality Act, as amended up to 2008. There was also an amendment act in 2012 but I don't think any of it was relevant to naturalisation, although there was important stuff for those born in the Kingdom after 1992 and displaced Thais from neighboring countries, whose ancestors lost Thai nationality in the after the bits of neighboring countries seized by Thailand under Japanese auspices in WW2 were taken back by the European powers after the war. Re digital WPs. Has anyone used one to apply for citizenship yet. Do you get a print out that you can keep for your records. This would certainly be an issue for anyone changing jobs in the 3 year qualifying period. Previous legislation allowed you to keep the cancelled hard copy version. I did this by quoting the Working of Aliens Act at them and they gave it to me with very bad grace. But that law was superseded by a Royal Decree of Prayut's. -

Are these people stark raving mad?
They don't care....and Trump has (cleverly/despicably?) engineered this situation over a number of years where lying has become a nothing burger to the American public. Vance said a Springfield resident’s cat was stolen and eaten. Instead, it was hiding - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-pet-claims-springfield-ohio-b2615009.html -

High cholesterol as a pre-existing condition?
Now that's a completely different advice 😁 I was not referring to this thread, but more in general. I'm quite happy with the advice I've gotten here, including yours. -

Why our GOP candidate will prevail.......
The man already went after his perceived enemies before when he was president. If elected again he will only hire MAGA sycophants with no guardrails. And the right wonders why the left calls him a danger to democracy. Really? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/21/us/politics/trump-investigations-enemies.html?campaign_id=2&emc=edit_th_20240922&instance_id=134959&nl=today's-headlines®i_id=65902800&segment_id=178491&te=1&user_id=f7addae68f812491684a0bdd10fca731 https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/09/21/us/trump-opponents-investigations.html- 1

Trump vs. Taylor Swift: A Battle He’s Bound to Lose
Look again by country: In the US it also depends on which state, How many sexual partners does someone from the United States have? On average, people who live in the United States have between 10 and 11 sexual partners over the course of their lives. However, the average number of sexual partners a person in the US has can vary widely from state to state, based upon local cultures and religious preferences in particular. For example, residents of Louisiana report an average of 15.7 sexual partners. By comparison, the people of Utah, 62% of whom belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, report an average of 2.6 sexual partners. The age at which someone loses his or her virginity can also impact the number of sexual partners he or she has. In the United States, people tend to lose their virginity at 17 years of age, on average.- 2

Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
You missed the point. The IRS provides for certain allowances and deductions, as well as special rates on specific types of income, that Thailand does not recognize. Forget the 'taxable' amount after Thai deductions and allowances. This is about total assessable income. Assessable income under worldwide taxation will be all your income streams, disregarding IRS deductions and allowances. The DTA may cover certain types of pensions, but it does not include the IRS standard deduction, it does not include offsetting losses against gains, and it does not include IRS tax brackets on particular income streams. MY annual return ($0 due to IRS on $15K interest/dividends and $45 LTCG) will result in a $10,000 tax liability to Thailand on 2 million baht income, every year, with zero tax credit on my US return. That's assuming no losses were taken against capital gains, in which case the tax bill increases. Your kilometerage may vary.
