Biden Approves $8 Billion Arms Sale to Israel
A sale or a gift? Israel must be near broke after a year of conflict and thousands of workers in the military. Has the Biden administration ever asked the citizens if they agree with spending billions on weapons that future generations will be paying for, given the amount the US is in debt? -

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
What difference would that make, if you file electronically? Only if your local tax office is in compliance with the algorithms at the central TRD office -- would you be well served. But, good chance they don't have a solid grasp of all that's in those algorithms -- and could give you bad advice. No, best keep your own counsel on what's needed for filing -- or if you feel incompetent, hire an agent. -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Hi All, Happy New Year to everyone. My situation is as such. I am working for 2 companies, 1 in Thailand and 1 in UK. I have submitted my new application under the "Work-From-Thailand-Professional" scheme on the 25 Nov morning. Documents which I have submitted: 1. Passports (Both old and new) with all the Thai stamps and my Non-B visa 2. Detailed CV detailing out my career and my work experiences over the last 24 years 3. Employment contract from my UK-based company issued back in Oct 2018, signed by my HR, stating my position as a Director of the company, my salary back in 2018, my term of employment till my official retirement age of 63. It was also indicated on the contract that I actually started working with the UK-based company back in Jun 2016. 4. Certificate of employment with my UK-based company registration, stating my annual salary package, my position as a Director, on my company's letterhead, signed by my Regional CEO. 5. Audited Financial Statements audited by Deloitte for the last 3 years, showing that my company is generating a revenue of USD193M (Using the rate of exchange from BOI's website) 6. Authorisation letter, signed off by my Regional CEO, stating that I am authorised and supported by my UK-based company to work remotely from Thailand or any country within Asia. 7. Tax returns form the IRAS Singapore, showing that total income for the last 2 years. 8. Payslips and bank statements showing that I am still earning more than USD80K a year for 2024 and I am still working for the same UK-based company. On the 3 Dec, BOI asked me if I have a Thai Work Permit. I have sent them a copy of my work permit. They proposed that either I applied as Highly Skilled Professional and retain my work permit or I resign immediately and provide them a confirmation letter that my last day of work will be on 29 Jan. I do not need to job in Thailand to earn that USD80k per annum and certainly, I do not want to pay any taxes for the next 10 years of my stay here. Therefore I firmly told BOI that I will resign from the Thai company immediately and stick to the "Work-From-Thailand-Professional" scheme. I have uploaded the cancellation letter on the same day and gave them a courtesy call to inform them that I have uploaded the document as requested. On the 9 Dec, BOI requested for the insurance policy with a minimum coverage of USD50k. Initially, I have sent them the letter from AXA, showing that I have an insurance policy with minimum 12 months of validity from thee date of application and it covers me for THB8M. 30 mins after uploading the letter, BOI asked for a full schedule of the insurance coverage which I have uploaded almost immediately. I have not heard from BOI since the 9 Dec. The current status still shows "Considerations by Government Agencies". I have given them a call last Thursday to see where it stands. I have explained to them politely that BOI has instructed me to cancel my work permit and Non-B visa which I have already done so. I have up till 29 Jan and I have 3 school-going children here with me in Thailand. I hope to receive some positive news from them as soon as possible as as to minimise any potential disruptions to my children's studies. The officer from BOI said that most of the government agencies have already cleared me, waiting for a response from immigration. I do not have any bad records with immigration. No overstay, no ED visa or anything which stands out as a red flag to the immigration. I asked the BOI officer if anything else is missing, anything that I could submit to show that I ticked all the boxes to the requirements of the LTR. The BOI officer said "Nope, all good". I am wondering if it is normal to take this long for the application to be reviewed and approved? -
