Thailand wants to be a member of the OECD. And what are the criteria for‌ joining...

Quote: According to Mr Prommin, for a country to become an OECD member, it‍ must have (1) open, transparent and free-market economies and political freedom, (2) safety and good⁠ governance, (3) strong rule of law, (4) a quality education system, and (5) environmental sustainability.⁤

I've got‌ a associate/friend, multi-PhD high up within the Gov-adjunct cross over to-Navy been trying to get‍ me to move there for five years due to my skillset he observed in the⁠ private sector (AI Military Application) - fast track residency/citz.

I've always been hesitant, mainly because⁤ i've had enough of Western society.

But as each year passes my decision and reinforced⁣ position remains.

He came here recently, and kept on trying to steer the discussion that⁢ way, in the end i laid out standard of living, lifestyle, health, environment, costs, and︀ self-control of environment (wealth/etc), surveillance (lack-off) etc and he couldn't put up a counter argument,︁ like i said at the end, if i wanted to join a prison-cum-debt-camp, i'd head︂ to the UK.

For me, Asia, South America, Africa, Middle East suit me fine.

Looking forward︃ to the next coup and roll back of CRS.

One thing you have to understand, EUROPEANS/SWISS actually are required to register︆ with their embassy where they live abroad when outside of the EU as i understand︇ based on my discussions with friends/neighbours, i balked at the idea, and in some cases︈ they even have to file taxes....

UK / and i guess Australia (at a time)︉ don't give a s**t, having said that they've now enabled voting for those outside of︊ the UK for more than 5 yrs and i am guessing this is a prelude︋ towards introducing some sort of World Wide Tax... -> but in this case thats why︌ Australia didn't know where he was, they were going through CRS information (HK) for his︍ bank but he never bothered to update it to Thailand as he has the right︎ to reside in HK due to the period he was there etc.

But the wealth️ he earned whilst living but not working in HK (Flew around the world as a‌ specialist) was tax free there, and when he moved to Thailand it was tax free‍ remittance (changed this year).

So he didn't need to file anything but Australia were notified⁠ under CRS i suppose, the wealth he had in HK and started digging to see⁤ if they could get their claws in, now he's been retired 10 yrs so perhaps⁣ now yes, but at the time certainly not based on what he was saying.

He's about to sell his home 10m$ -> and buy bullion for the bulk - said⁢ he can't trust Australian banks, if war breaks out in China his wealth would be︀ seized, and in Thailand he doesn't (probably right) trust the banking system.

Probably has 10-30︁ yrs left (had skin cancer twice)
 
yes that‌ has been evidenced and broadcasted since 2020, worldwide and in high definition .

its a good way to keep on friendly terms with the︀ oecd fatf terrorist gang. However 0 chance for that happening, including all of southeast asia︁ ex singapore.
The oecd gang is really nasty these days and are pushing the poor︂ ones around quite a lot more than before.
 
Obviously we have other friends and one Canadian has a trust, that pays him out‌ the profits annually...

Seen the news recently 67% tax on profits, whilst they debase the‍ currency, note debasement isn't just represented by inflation, inflation is variable goods increase, debasement is⁠ best observed/represented by how fixed assets appreciate and can be calculated by looking at CB⁤ Balance sheets..

So he's getting fucked from both sides, the inflation + debasement, and can't⁣ withdraw the funds from the trust due to the rules his mother placed on them⁢ (she didn't like his wife so did a trust).

So i kinda get why he︀ doesn't want to keep his wealth in Australia.... as he may get restricted to a︁ small amount of expenditure annually.

Reinforcing (Western Approach)

-> Glad my exposure to︃ 'Western Financial System EURGBPUSD..etc' is now very very low and decreasing rapidly.
 
When you see one of the most ‘famous’ French business/investor YouTuber (he is living in‌ BKK since few years), talking with a real agency owner in BKK (sorry it’s in‍ french, from 1h.01min) that :







"If you are owner of some flats in Thailand, and⁠ you don’t rent them with a contract of 3years+ (so by making lease agreement for⁤ 1 or 2 years for exemple) then you don’t need the register the rental agreement,⁣ either to pay the 12.5% flat tax on rental income (and also not the progressive⁢ income tax on it..), if you ask the tenant to send the money abroad."

Loophole again or classic tax evasion ? ange¤%&
 
is this still valid? I heard that Elite visa is been taxed now, and⁠ soon will be taxed with the worlwide income.
Also: If one gets Elite, or LTR,⁤ will it be tax free really or PE will still be an issue?

Something like that?? or I understood wrong︂ ?

@offsiteguy @unth72 did you find anything ?

@offsiteguy @unth72 did you find︈ anything ?
Are you sure about this? today︌ i met one of the "famous" accountants in BKK and he told me that is︍ considered as CT /PE (tech. company outside thailand, owned by Thai resident (shareholder only). Even︎ if there is director etc, they check the UBO and prove that is yours and️ you have to get tax as local company. Is this the case? In this case‌ one more reason to leave asap.
Also, as I'm on owned company business visa &‍ wp here, he proposed to invoice from the thai company to the offshore that the⁠ offshore is paying the local company to provide me; that will "reason" and invalidate the⁤ PE. But I believe the opposite. That if I invoice from one to the other⁣ (thai company to pay the offshore to provide me) then this might really create a⁢ PE as the offshore will be actually doing business in Thailand (now there is nothing︀ related with thailand, the offshore is doing business in other countries, never remitting here those︁ money).
What do you think?
 
who is a "famous" accountant? Share a name.
Theres is︈ no better client than a rich scared foreigner.
.
 
Agree with you. I want to‍ be typical and on the safe side. Is one of the many tax advisors you⁠ see around this period. That’s why I say “famous”, I don’t think he is really⁤ though. I’d appreciate it if you can share your opinion
 
rof/% smi(&%
You ain't kidding! F*ck! Foreigners get exploited‍ by accountants & lawyers ALL the time! stupi#21
 
for me to share opinion, you must provide the⁤ name of that person so we can look him up online on youtube etc.

id say youre on the safe side if no one knows your private affairs.
 
After 20 years in Thailand I can confidently say the Thai government have no ability‌ in any way to tax your overseas companies if they do not trade in Thailand.‍ Any lawyer or accountant who says otherwise is fleecing you.
 
Yes and I’m very concerned; it’s not the ability is if I’m obliged to be⁤ taxed or no as this income never gets into Thailand. If I’m obliged to be⁣ taxed then I’ll leave asap but no one can give a straight forward answer.
 
Income not remitted into Thailand is NOT taxed. Anyone telling you otherwise is an idiot.‌
