I thought in Thailand, that foreigners could not own property. Or maybe that’s land. I have a friend who is married to a Thai woman and he is American. She just bought a house and she will own it even though they are married. He is going to do the reinnovating. He is older, so I think he is banking on the possibility that he will die first. She will take care of him as he gets older and then she will get everything when he dies.

@Adrià *******

Thailand is very aware of that.

@Adrià *******

why pay taxes to Thailand at all

@Adrià *******

not all the countries, but I agree it’s prevalent. That’s why you need to be careful about picking countries.

Thailand shooting themselves in the foot. But obviously, Thailand is becoming way too popular. Time to go somewhere else. Too many drugs in Thailand now as well.

That’s where my friends were going to take me.

I’m guessing I will not schedule a flight until the DTV gets completely approved.

@Grant ******

what if you had not gotten approved though?

Thank you! I have been paying attention since May and watching the DTV info come out. I found this very informational and so happy that it’s the deputy director-general of the Department of Consular Affairs at Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who actually knows something about why policies came about. Was confusing at first to try to figure this all out. Great to share with friends also. Merry Christmas!🎄

Was your proof of address for Texas?
