Thai taxation of foreign share income - a couple of practical issues
If I understand you correctly, you hold UK investment funds via your US broker? If the above is correct, it is the same as a British person in the UK buying into say a US investment fund using their UK broker where any taxes are an expense of the fund, not the investor. If you are taxed on dividends from those funds, you will be taxed where they are received. -

3 Thai police face sack for mistaking woman as drug suspect
Three police officers in the northern province of Chiang Rai may face dismissal after mistakenly identifying a Thai woman as a drug suspect and attempting to arrest her, leading to a violent high-speed chase. The 22 year old Thai woman filed a complaint with Mae Yao Police Station, stating that a group of men tried to abduct her on the night of September 2. The men, travelling in a white SUV, cut her off while she was riding her motorcycle home. One of the men exited the vehicle and tried to apprehend her but she managed to flee on her motorcycle. A high-speed chase ensued but the woman was eventually assisted by locals in the area. She maintained that she had no prior conflicts with anyone. The woman suspected that the group were police officers who mistook her for a criminal and attempted to arrest her. Her suspicions were confirmed when three police officers turned themselves in on September 9. One of the officers is a Police Senior Sergeant Major from Chiang Rung Police Station. He was formerly an investigating officer with the Chiang Rai Provincial Police. The officer explained that he and his two colleagues were tracking a drug suspect and mistaking the woman for the target. CCTV footage showed them following the woman and cutting her off. They decided to abort the operation and leave the scene when they saw locals helping the woman, as they did not want the public to become aware of their covert operation. The three officers also admitted to crashing their SUV into a parked car during the chase. The Commander of the Chiang Rai Provincial Police, Manop Saenakun, told the media that the officers must be punished severely as their actions were considered to be outside the scope of their duties. Manop stated that the three could face dismissal if Mae Yao Police Station officers find that their actions violated any serious laws. Channel 7 reported that the police officers in question attempted to offer the victim 100,000 baht to settle the case but the victim rejected the offer and insisted on pursuing the matter to the fullest extent. ORIGINAL STORY: Thai woman survives attempted kidnapping in Chiang Rai (video) A Thai woman issued a warning to other women after a group of men in an SUV stalked and attempted to kidnap her on a road in the northern province of Chiang Rai. The 22 year old woman shared security camera footage when she sought help from a resident in the Mae Yao district of Chiang Rai province. She posted the footage on the news Facebook page, J-moi v+ (เจ๊ม้อย v+), to gather more clues about the suspects and to issue a warning to others, particularly women travelling alone at night. The page shared her video on September 3 with a caption that read, “Women travelling alone at night must be aware of this incident. This woman was on her way home when a group of men attempted to abduct her. She decided to abandon her motorcycle and seek help from a resident. Anyone with useful information about the gang can contact the page.” The video shows the woman leaving her motorcycle and running into a resident’s house. She can be heard saying, “Please help. Those men tried to kidnap me.” ThaiRath shared another video of the incident, showing the white Toyota Fortuner SUV cutting in front of the victim while she was riding her motorcycle. One man then got out of the car and tried to approach the woman. Realising the danger, the woman sped away on her motorcycle. The man returned to the SUV, and the driver immediately chased after her. She shouted for help as she fled, and a resident came to her aid, causing the SUV to speed away from the scene. In an interview with ThaiRath, the victim said the incident took place at around 8pm on Monday, September 2. She explained that she had never had any conflicts with anyone and could not speculate on the gang’s motives. She suggested that the men might have been police officers who mistook her for someone else. The woman revealed that the high-speed chase lasted for only 30 metres before she was helped by residents. The victim stated that she filed a complaint at Mae Yao Police Station, and officers assured her that they would bring the gang to justice soon. by Petch Petpailin Photo via KomChadLuek Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-09-10 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Is the Tax compliance going to be linked to Visa issuance ?
It would make sense. If the law requires you to pay tax, why wouldn't you need to show that you're complying in order to remain in the country legally? -

What stage of the relationship are you currently in with your Thai lady?
What stage? We celebrated our wedding anniversary on Sunday 8th; after renting for too many years we bought this house 2018 it's looking like long-term! Wife has a good career 11 years with current employer and no thoughts of leaving, good company, conditions and colleagues. Daughter #1 graduated in HR Mgmt & Employment Law two years ago, working fulltime, saving, and no sign of leaving home (just laughs when I suggest it); D#2 began her Civil Engineering degree in June and works part-time one evening one weekend day. All very settled. -

Destination Thailand Visa Gains Popularity Among Expats
You are obviously not married to a Thai. I moved to Thailand so my wife could be with her family. Farung married to Thais usually have a lot more connection to Thailand than those on a retirement visa or a dtv/education visa. We have homes, children, connections in the community, more likely to speak Thai, visit the temple etc. I was married to a permenant resident applicant in Australia. As soon as she applied she could work, get medical benefits, social support. In Thailand marriage visa applicants just get to contribute to the mountains of paperwork at immigration -

Must Read Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
If they get away with the worldwide taxes and then the farang only property taxes, one will have to wonder what other taxes or fees they will feel empowered to levy next. That's why I won't feed the bad behavior and only stay 179 days or less.- 1
