Can someone help me with these questions regarding the "Wealthy Pensioner" USD 80,000.- per year income LTR?
- What timeframe is considered? I know that in the two years before the year of the application the pension income must be 80,000.- per year. But are there no more checks later on?
- 80,000.- before or after tax?
- The 80,000.- must be sent to Thailand? Or is it ok if received outside of Thailand?
- Yearly means it does not have to be distributed to 12 month of the year. One time payment of 80,000.- per year is ok?

Yes and no. If the bill is not paid the meter is removed. Someone has to pay to reinstall the meter, and before that happens the outstanding balance needs to be cleared.
If the owner wants to use or lease the premises then who else is left to pay?
I think it is quite standard internationally that you bring a form to the electricity company, both the owner and the tenant sign on the form, and from the starting date entered the tenant is responsible to pay the bill, with the tenant's name on the bill.

All utility bills are in the name of who owns the land-the house - the condo apartment or the condo building.
This cannot be changed.
it is not in the interest of the utility company to make such a change.
I never rented a condo in Thailand, but if someone owns a condo and has a longterm tenant, the owner is always responsible for the tenants utility bills to be paid? This is quite unusual compared to other countries.

Hi,
I will live in my GF's house, but will pay the electricity bill (and other utilities).
Is it possible to get the electricity bill in my name? Should we setup a faked rental contract to get this?
Reason, I need the utility bill as proof of residence for various purposes. (Certificate of residence from immi is not enough.)

Schwab International requires a Tax ID No. for account opening.
How did you open an account with your Thai residency if you don't have a Thai Tax ID? Any ideas?

Hi,
Did anyone bring in more than USD 20.000.- cash and declared it at customs at Suvarnabhumi airport?
- How was the process? Easy / difficult / frightening?
- Did they ask you about the source of funds?
- Did you get an FET form?
Thanks

Unfortunately there is no remedy for human stupidity.
Seems we deserve the next pandemic.

I wonder if pensioners qualify if they had 80.000.- investment income during the bull market the last years. Now no income but loss in 2022.

Wife is correct - there are two separate licences for Motorcycles and Cars.
- Translation of home country driving licence ? - which country is it ?
IF in English its already ok IF your country is signatory to 1968 Vienna convention on road traffic.
IF in a foreign language you’ll need an IDP.
Thanks. Yes, I have the IDP.
I already asked the DLT and they said it must be the IDP under convention 1949. This is what I have.

My wife told me that there is no combined driving licence in Thailand (for car AND motorbike), but I need two seperate licences.
So do I need all these documents 2 times if I want to apply for car and motorbike driving licence at the same time?
- Residence certificate
- Medical certificate
- Translation of my home country driving licence?
I will apply in Bangkok Chatuchak.

Your analysis /statements only apply when illegal acts are committed i.e occupying someone else's land without permission
To my knowledge, land can be leased for 30+30 years by a foreigner and the lease can (or must) be registered at the land office. It is legal that a foreigner builds a house on leased land.

Hi,
Three specific questions regarding FET form, maybe someone knows:
1.) Do I get the FET-form from my Thai bank when the money is not receivd from my own bank account abroad but from a company bank account (company and sending bank are both outside Thailand).
2.) Condo purchase: Is it possible to get a "neutral" FET form if you don't know which condo you will buy, and later use this "neutral" FET form to buy a condo? Neutral means, without specification which condo.
3.) Build a house: If I build a house on a land owned by a Thai (land lease): Do I need a FET form so the house can be registered in my name?

Never even had anybody asking me for any vaccine info. hehe
Yes, true in most cases.
But I hear about vaccination checks when going to Koh Chang or to Nan Province. So with 76 provinces and 76 travel rules it might happen anywhere, at least outside Greater Bangkok or Chon Buri.
-
Hello,
Did anyone have problems using the EU digital Covid vaccination certificate when travelling within Thailand? Is it accepted when checking-in at airports, ferrys, at a hotel, when entering a province, in restaurants (if required) etc.
I don't have the Thailand pass as I entered Thailand in summer.

I thought it was about the money? They forgot about it, because the officials get tax payers money anyway.
Maybe setup some steel and chemical industries? This way no foreign tourist would go there voluntary.

There are many tourism workers but they are still a minority.
The majority is still in panic when it comes to Corona.
We have to acknowledge that they are building up a quarantine industry to let in foreigners, but somehow I get the feeling they want to get rid of retirees.

Trust pattaya city to embrace cruise ships ,highly polluting ,dumping sewage into the sea and smoke into the air.Some european ports dont let them dock now due to the pollution.
pattaya city ahead of the curve again ???
Only a very dumb tourism manager would like to attract cruise ships nowadays.
The money is made on the cruise ships. Hoards of people go sightseeing on land between two meals on the cruise ship, buying a small bottle of mineral water while walking around or touring in organized groups.

You should always see the the positive:
The US will achieve herd immunitiy this way.
200,000 more deaths with the corona virus and it's over.
-
There is a big discussion among scientists now, mainly Europe and US, that the way PCR tests are evaluated now may be too sensitive. They should search for high virus loads and not detect any virus RNA.
An asymptomatic case has a low virus load and the probability that they spread the virus is very low.
On the other hand pre-symptomatic cases (some days before the person shows symptoms) could very well spread the virus.
To my understanding a less sensitive PCR-test could separate the infectious cases from the non-infectious.

An asymptomatic was not immune. They still caught the virus.
I thought if someone catches the virus and stays healthy, this is called immune ??

It is important to appreciate that many asymptomatic carriers, although they have no symptoms, have a high viral load and are easily able to infect others. There is much that is still unknown about when and why some develop serious symptoms while others with a similar viral load do not. The evidence suggests that immunity is not the key factor.
I think this is not quite true.
Cross immunity from other corona viruses could be important. And it's not only the antibodies which cause immunity. Known factors are T-cells and I bet some other factors still unknown and unlikely to be found within the next months.

This is new information for me. They clearly explain that is must be "unearned income such as pension, rental, capital gain, dividend, etc.".
"SUCH AS" this sounds like there is no difference which of these you get.
I am above 50, don't have an "official" pension yet, but dividends above 80,000.- from a company where I own shares. Looks like I meet the requirements but still don't qualify?
