Too late, baby - Muslim Mayor of NYC
Apparently 40% of the population in NYC is foreign born. America is up for the taking and Americans are happy to oblige. This guy already has planned for state subsidized grocery stores, just like in Cuba, Venezuela and the Soviet Union. 😂 So to the Americans take note, anyone from anywhere in the world can enter your city, pillage the tax base and implement policies seen in failed socialist states. If it all blows up in their face they can move to the next city or go back home. Have fun getting wrecked guys. -

Non Imm O-A Recent Experience Please
Back in 2020 when I was under a Type-OA visa, and once a person (like myself) is residing in Thailand on the Type-OA visa, in order to obtain the annual one year Extension, the health insurance needed to be from the Thai branch from a Health Insurance company. Now initially, before residing in Thailand, I suspect to initially obtain the Type-OA in the USA, you may be able to use health insurance obtained in the USA. That only works for the initial visa (I believe) But for subsequent years, after arriving in Thailand, for yearly extensions on your permission to stay in Thailand, you would need to obtain health insurance from the Thai branch of a health insurance. Dependent on your individual situation, that could be a bad thing, or it could make no difference. In my case, where I had excellent global insurance coverage from Europe, that health insurance was NOT accepted by Thai immigration for extensions of my permission to stay in Thailand, as it was not from the Thai branch of a health insurance company. The big advantage (I believe) to get from obtaining a Type-OA (or Type-O visa) from outside of Thailand, is it makes it easier upon arrival in Thailand to immediately open a Thai bank account. This is bank account is pretty much essential for any subsequent extensions of your permission to stay in Thailand. In fact, I recommend soon after establishing a Thai bank account, BEFORE you are classified as a Thai tax resident, that you immediately transfer the 800,000 THB equivalent to Thailand. Thai only taxes remitted income , and so that will be Thai tax exempt. Note one you are a Thai tax resident, any money you remit to Thailand needs to be considered and decided by you if it is assessable for Thailand taxation, or not assessable for Thailand taxation. Things like one's Visa type (LTR is tax exempt remitted income to Thailand) or the Double Tax Agreement between Thailand and the USA may affect what (if anything) you need to do in regards to taxation in Thailand. In general, in regards to whether going for a Type-OA or a Type-O, I recall the big advantage of the type-OA is if timed right, one can stretch almost 2 years out of that one-year visa. However its massive downside is its health insurance requirements. I suspect if you were masochistic and if you then dug through the many topics on this subject (of type-OA health insurance) you will read of many expats on a Type-OA visa, who after having established a Thai bank account, deliberately left Thailand without a re-entry permit, so to deliberately invalidate/cancel their type-OA visa, and who then re-entered Thailand Visa exempt, and who then immediately applied for a type-O visa (90 day) which has no health insurance requirements. After getting the 90-day type-O, they then applied for a 1-year extension of their permission to stay in Thailand on that Type-O visa (with no health insurance requirements). And of course they procured a re-entry permit with their type-O so not to invalidate/cancel it when leaving Thailand. By having a Type-O visa, one is then free to obtain health insurance from anywhere in the world, and not be compelled to purchase health insurance from the Thai branch of a health insurance company. If you still have a Thailand bank account from 2019, then skip the entire idea of a Type-OA visa, and simply enter visa exempt and immediately go for the Type-O visa. .... Unless of course, you have your heart set on buying Health insurance from the Thai branch of a health insurance company, in which case, the Type-OA may be THE visa for you. -

Crime Bomb Scare at Phuket Airport as Suspect Device Found in Motorcycle
"One admitted to planning to plant the suspect device at the airport, after travelling from Pattani province with a group of accomplices. The second suspect was identified as the individual who parked the motorcycle at the airport. The suspect according to investigators, the men were part of a coordinated plot to target high-profile sites in a deliberate attempt to cause public disruption. Police are now working to track down other individuals believed to be involved." If true, life sentence without parole or death penality. I consider them to be terrorists who have forfeited their rights to a trial.
