Ned Focker yes try going to a us embassy as an expat or for a visa for your partner- or for that matter you Americans – the state department’s of motor vehicles where you get car licenses- the hatred and bitterness in those places far exceeds anything I’ve seen in thai immigration.

@Giorgio *****

most likely. Isn’t the earth flat though? Im sure I fell off and its actually nice down here!

@Paul ******

you are an absolute jerk. If you don’t want a vaccine or mask, don’t get one/wear one. Nothing to do with the topic at hand. Im a dirty farang but had 6 jabs and still wear the mask. I trust the OP will look at the advice he receives and make a reasonable choice about his baby

As with any visa because they (some of them) prefer you would not come here.

@Sam ********

its back to that in Bangkok because the TM30 is tied into 90 day report

You may have to move up to next month, or the following

@Steve ******

if you have multiple reentry permit it is good till your visa extension date.

@Sean ********

only pitfall, there is that $104,000 limit, and a tax treaty so you only should pay the higher of the Thai or American tax, but there is no Social Security treaty, the US Social Security. You may be stuck for either seven or 15% of your earned income, regardless of where it is earned. BTW, as far as income, not being taxed in Thailand, if it’s not brought over in the year that it’s earned, you could always transfer money from your savings that you had before the current year.

I’ve use the ฿800,000 method for a long time. And yes, the interest rate is very low. The only thing I found that may pay higher is the government savings bank. Lucky prize account, which brings good report, however, I don’t know if it will qualify as immediately available, it’s a term deposit. My income is enough to qualify for the monthly method, But I pay most of my bills in US dollars, so I would have a little use for the money in my thai account

@Paul ********

I disagree. US immigration much worse. Getting a retirement visa doesn’t depend on convincing at officer you are worthy, mostly just meeting the requirements
