@John *****

You've called them, John?

@Sue *********

Why are you here?

Google Revenue service and phone them for advice

@Jack ****

Hell spend your first week there 😉🤣🤣

Negotiate hard to keep the deposit low, and assume you probably won't see it again. But rents here are so low, generally, you'll forget it quickly anyway.

I'd advise you to keep renting. It's dirt cheap. Let someone else worry about maintenance. Easy to move if a problem crops up, or of you fancy another (part of the) country. And, if you died here (got to look at the possibility) it would be a nightmare for your heirs to manage a sale to get your money out

Not if you won't be entering Dubai, but staying air-side in a transfer lounge

Try contacting the Thai Cycling Association via their website

Try to use an agent who will obtain the extension at your local Immigration Office. Then, if you choose to and can show the money (either lump sum of 800k or 65k a month), you can handle future renewals yourself for just 1,900 baht

@Tony *******

Yes that's also my understanding, Tony. Since they didn't apply this law fully in 2023 or earlier, they will not assess tax on money you bring in from now on that was originally earned prior to 1 January 2024

@Graham ******

I'm interested. What do you charge for that course? 😉
