Why was my question about the visa application process rejected?

Ruth *******

oh, sorry. It was a rather stupid “question” and yet, he couldn’t just let it go. I thought the smileys were about the first half. My bad.

What should American men know about marrying a Thai national and US tax requirements?

Ruth *******

absolutely agree. I can’t have my mail go to my family in California when I move to Thailand (soon), because suddenly I’d be responsible for CA taxes (I’ve lived in FL & WA for 5 years). Absolute insanity!

@Andy *********

I normally don’t like such comments, but here it’s appropriate. He could have asked his question without implying that catering to the Western palette was the responsibility of the Thai people.

most countries want to know that you have a home to which to return unless you’re a citizen of theirs. It’s pretty standard.

What does the recent USD-Baht exchange rate hitting 34-1 mean for expats and visitors in Thailand?

Ruth *******

@Thomas ************

lol. The dollar is at its strongest since May 2020 (including having its strongest jump in 5 years this week), but you have to post that you don’t trust Biden, who has been president during its strengthening. Yeah, ok…whatever. You know…you could have just left politics out instead of making such a ridiculous comment in this context.

I've lost several friends, so it's not a matter of getting on with LIFE. If you don't want to get "jabbed", fine, but keep it to yourself...in fact, keep yourself to yourself. This is a group about visas. We don't care about your personal issues and science-denial, except that you are the ones killing people and keeping the world shutdown.
