Let me make it clear, because I prefer to avoid irrelevant comments. The car is for going back and forth from my house to my son's school. I already have a car for long trips across the country. So, why would I have to spend a fortune? Yes, that’s for those who think I’m looking for junk. Well, for you it might be junk too. For me, it’s a functional car. That’s what I’m looking for.
I have already given enough reasons to think that it is not a dowry because my wife is not into those stories from the past. Point two, she has her own money, she can support herself. Point three, she has no family, they've all died. Let's see if there's no one else thinking that it's a dowry and Thai traditions from the past. What happens is that there are always jokers who make the typical comment to act like they know Thailand. I don’t know what circles they hang out in, but my environment and my situation are completely different.
I pay for my son’s school and upkeep, and my wife pays for everything else. So, relax, guys, because you’re always thinking negatively. I’m not saying this about you, I’m saying it about others.
The sale of a property in Spain generates a capital gain sourced in Spain.
According to the Spain–Thailand Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement:
Gains from the sale of immovable property are taxed in the country where the property is located, in this case, Spain.
Thailand cannot tax that same gain again, even if the money is transferred to a Thai account.
Therefore, the funds from the sale of the property are protected from double taxation.
The only thing the Thai bank might request is documentation proving the source of the money, but that is not a tax—just a banking and anti-money-laundering control.
I already checked with my bank that my phone number matched my account number. They confirmed it, but I did this weeks ago, because this has been happening for a while now. I did it even though my account wasn’t frozen.
Yes, I know, I know, but what I’m trying to figure out is whether the transfer needs to be through direct banks to have an international SWIFT proof, which is what I’m trying to find out if immigration will require me for starting the paperwork, or if simply showing immigration that I have funds in my Thai account will be enough to proceed with the paperwork. That’s what I’m trying to clarify.
