@กะลาสี ****

who do you expect to get guidance from?

@Peter ********

I suspect 12 month renewal of your Visa will be dependant on showing you have submitted a tax return. So good luck with that 5555 🙄

In most countries, if you stay longer than 180 days you are considered resident for tax purposes. Your visa is not relevant. The current position is you would be assessed for tax on money you bring in to Thailand. But you can deduct any tax already paid in the source country, so maybe no more tax is payable. Government sources say Thai Revenue is now discussing a plan to tax all income worldwide, even if it is not brought into Thailand.

You're proving again it is exactly about your white privilege, Nigel. Those who have fled terror are refugees and entitled to sanctuary where they apply for it. Those who have not will be returned. Government determines spending. This one has managed to run up a record debts while slashing public spending and persuading idiots like you it's the fault of refugees. But the truth is you just don't like foreigners, otherwise you'd accept these simple facts instead of believing trash fascist newspapers

@Steven ********

Thailand isn't a signatory to the UN Refugee Convention. UK is. See the difference?

@Nick ***********

I'd that a racist trope I hear?

@Tony ********

OK you used the "woke" card, telling me all I need to know about you

Woke = believing in the right of all people to live a good life with fairness and respect.

@Tony ********

Tony, the lazy nonsense is only reading one source. Men and women/children leave their home countries mostly as families. Can you guess what happens to the women and children along the way? It is researchedand published. Don't be lazy. You are happy to accept racist tropes from news media owned by non-dom non-tax payers, who lie to get lazy idiots to support a corrupt racist government that allows them those tax breaks and media power. I'm happy to say your decisions, behaviour and comments reflect your racism, even if it is largely borne of ignorance from a failure to widen your source material. There is some truth in your view of Romanian economic migrants. But it's not true even of all Romanians, many of whom are persecuted in their own country. And it's still fundamentally racist to reject someone on the grounds of their nationality, race, faith etc etc with no investigation into their personal allowances circumstances and reasons for fleeing.

@Nigel *********

France is not safe for most refugees, Nigel. Do some basic research on attacks against refugees in countries you would feel safe in. That's called white privilege, to feel safe in France, Belgium, Italy, Greece etc

@Tony ********

Your maths? How many asylum seekers are in the UK? 1.2m UK population increase in last 3 years? Quote source before making shit up. UK born citizens have a +ve birth rate. What are you going to do about that? And why are you in Thailand playing Empire Builder when you show obvious signs of racist ignorance like these?
