Is a medical certificate required to obtain a motorcycle license in Thailand, and can I apply for a Thai motorcycle license online?

Duncan *******

The scam isn't just the medical certificate, it's the whole thing - to get a license, you need to attend the DLT in person to undertake testing and have your picture taken. And a medical certificate (which is required) is only legally issued when you see a doctor in person.

Duncan *******

It depends on what the Bank of Thailand does with interest rates - would suspect there will be a 25-50bps cut before the end of the year.

Can an Australian citizen lose their tax residency when living overseas, such as in Thailand?

Duncan *******

@David ********

you pay tax where you live - simple as that. And if you live in Thailand over 180 days, you're a tax resident of Thailand. Instead of contacting the ATO, try contacting the Thai Revenue Department and ask them. And if you're bringing money into the Kingdom not declaring tax in Thailand, they are talking about targeting foreigners who dont.

Duncan *******

Not true - I'm Australian but Im not a tax resident of Aus and pay income tax in Thailand and have done so for years. And I should add, not having to ever deal with the ATO ever again is a blessing.
