At this point, I'll take that! 😅

I probably have close to a decade to go if I can put off claiming US Social Security for a while. I plan to continue working for the foreseeable future, anyway. But I just "retired" from teaching in Vietnam and am at a fork in the road, livelihoodwise. Working on a new project as I try to figure different things out, including tax implications. At least the US has a USD124k exclusion for her tax persons if they are domiciled abroad. I won't be seeing that much soon. 😅

@Tim ********

Thank you again. I haven't made the final decision yet, and I have some work in front of me if I'm going to be able to make this work, income wise. But tax implications are exactly the things I need to know, going into this.

@Tim ********

Thank you very much. So we are to keep an eye on the proposal to tax global income, but for now just income brought into Thailand. Minus taxes already paid at home.

Much obliged.👍

Et al.

Question on what exactly is triggered by the 180 days in Thailand. It's then income tax on all funds brought into Thailand during that tax year? Not any income earned regardless of location, right?

@Graham ******

What do land borders have to do with anything that OP has mentioned?? His work base isn't Siem Riep, it's NYC.

@Jo *********

Haha. You're fishing for a win after telling me twice I was incorrect.

What's "massive?" I first heard the song in the 70's when Santa Esmerelda sang it. A lot of people learned of the song through Santa Esmerelda either in the 70's or the 2000's after their version became popular again from Kill Bill. But go ahead and enjoy your fishing expedition.

Yep. And all hotels, restaurants. Even many of the combini's in Tokyo are staffed by South and Southeast Asians, these days.

@Andi **********

You beat me to it. You're correct.

@Jet *******

That's incorrect. There are more foreign workers in Japan than ever. And that's not counting the illegal workers who went there on a tourist visa for the purpose of finding work. Immigration there knows this but they know small and medium companies there are starved for labor so they look the other way. Same in Korea.
