@Rena ********

I need a little clarification on that. Is what you’re saying that if I send money to my wife using a cash app like Wise, I am going to be taxed on that money? That doesn’t even make any sense since the money has already been taxed.

@Tom ********

my guess is he had more than personal use consumption, which in Thailand is a very small amount then when over that amount you get charged with intent to distribute.

we’re talking the same language, my friend. I might have to check the book out.

that’s because most of them want to eat the steak for dinner, but can only afford a hamburger. In Texas we call that a guy that’s all hat and no cattle.

@Phil *****

thanks Phil but that is all behind me now and I am getting my yearly extensions , based on marriage, on a yearly basis. Thanks

@Phil *****

I wasn’t required a notarized marriage certificate. The embassy wanted nothing to do with certifying the marriage certificate because they cannot how could they possibly know if it’s legitimate so how could they possibly certify it? As I stated in my response to get around to that is by writing an affidavit of your marriage. The embassy will notarize that and the Amphur will accept it, once it is translated and sent to the MOFA for their seal

@Greg **********

 best explanation that I have ever read and the most thorough. Every moderator should cut and paste this response so every question that it comes across their computer asking about non-o retirement visa, they could answer it by simply pasting your response. Very good.

@George ******

he only dedicated 90 words on the subject, understandably easy to miss if you’re blind or you don’t know how to read.

my wife has to go through the same thing with her US visa her passport was about to expire that had her original visa when we got the new passport. The US Embassy will not transfer the visa stamp to her new passport so for the next eight years, she has to carry two passports when coming to the US every year, a bit ridiculous I think.

@Phil *****

 yes I understand Phil. I was commenting on your comment that was directing him to the US Embassy website. Now, unless things have changed in recent years when I went through the process, I got zero help from the US Embassy other than them notarizing my marriage affidavit.
