well then you clearly still have things inside the US that obviously you would be accountable for paying tax on.

There is nothing normal about not having to pay tax on up to $104,000.

If you are paying 20% then you either don’t qualify for foreign earned income which means your comment is irrelevant or you make so much money that I sure don’t have sympathy for you complaining about taxes and maybe you should be paying more.

Also it seems the way you are structured that you wouldn’t even qualify for foreign earned income. Unless I am understanding your comment wrong.

House in the states, kids in private schools etc..

@Judd *********

that’s not how it works.

If you are self employed you only pay 15.3% in taxes to the US, unless you make more than $104,000.

If not self employed then anything under $104,000 that is considered foreign earned(ie you are living out of country) then you dont pay tax on that. Anything over the $104,000 you pay tax on at the percentage of your tax bracket for gross income.

If you pay taxes in another country other than the US it is deducted from your tax liability in the US.

So basically most people that are not self employed don’t pay any tax or barely any.

Typically only the self employed get stick still paying US taxes.

maybe I will look into that if you can remember the name. Thanks a bunch man!

@Michael *******

I did not know they moved. I like rawai area. Good to find this out when I’m searching for place to stay.

@Michael *******

yeah I’ve never been a fan of leaving the islands and going up there to live. Maybe I will reach out to Tiger. Thanks!

@Michael *******

haha very true. I’m currently in Vietnam for the last two years. Was thinking of coming back to Thailand. I miss the islands and fitness scene. Everything is open here except for the many places that had to close due to losing their income during lockdowns. They may be opening borders here in Vietnam in December. This is just a rumor. Thanks for the information ✌️

@Michael *******

yeah I think they may be the only legal one given permission by the government to be considered a school for education visa. The other I know of is in Bangkok.

@Michael *******

ah okay so STV need to leave and re-enter if you want to change the visa type later. Unlike the tourist visa where you can change it in country.

@Stuart ********

yeah I think if I remember correctly there were only two or three that were legally allowed to offer these by the government.

@Benjamin *****

>I have not seen any Thai Kickboxing visas being sold above the table yet.

I wonder why that is. I remember these used to be readily available. Thanks mate.
