I’m being accused of being arrogant from the guy who mansplained why Thailand is setting an annual sales minimum. That’s rich.

WFH is "work from home". If you were following this issue, you'd be familiar with the jargon. Yeah, I know that the requirement of $150M is to attract people with steady income (not "wealthy people" per say). I believe I clearly referenced "large companies". Annual sales is general how the size of a company is determined. SMH.

The restriction may shoot them in the foot. As Ham has stated, a company can have a large number of sales and not actually be profitable. For example, Uber has over $25B in annual sales, but it's not profitable.

I don't know what officials have told you the opposite, but numerous articles have been written about how larger companies have even been slow to adopt WFH now that the pandemic is slowing. Do you have anything to backup what "the officials" have told you?

The larger the company, the less likely they are to allow a digital nomad.

I think your post is a bit vague as to your goal. That’s why people are guessing and giving you answers to every scenario. What is it that you’re trying to do that you want to know what you need to do to ensure your marriage is recognized?

@Jonathan *******

they were talking about filing taxes as “married”. If you also have no income or are not filing tax return as married, you don’t need it.

@Jonathan *******

what did you use for a tax ID for your spouse?

@Steve ****

he didn’t ask about her becoming a citizen. She doesn’t owe U.S. taxes just because she’s married to a citizen.

I’m so glad visas are so simple (of course, this is not a problem only in Thailand)

@Sid ******

thank you. I will try that. That’s not the hospital that gave me a bit of a run around before, so maybe I’ll have more success. I’m also going to get LinkedIn premium, so I can try to contact the two Lilly Thailand folks I found there.

I had hoped I might find someone taking emgality on the group, who might be able to refer me to their doctor. However, people have been tremendously helpful.

Thanks again.
