    Thailand's soon to launch Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)

    Seen a few successes now from Vientiane that have gone through without issues, even saying the staff were helpful and let them come back with more necessary documents on the same day to complete the application. Seen one guy that got rejected there because he really didn't have enough financial...

    Thailand's soon to launch Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)

    Cheapest option is in Laos. Application fee is 10K THB (less than US$300). Definitely no need for a paid 3 months course if you can come up with a tiny bit of remote work documentation. Some people even got the DTV with a dentist appointment to fit dental braces (no prepayment), etc.

    How to become tax resident in Thailand? (I got rejected)

    All those newly registered elite visa holders must be feeling pretty silly right now. Som nam-naa

    Cambodia banks

    Not sure about others, but using Smart - charging just $1 gives you 1 week "validity" followed by an additional 60 days "grace period" where you can only receive SMS/calls (sending SMS/calling disabled). That is just perfect for receiving OTPs, and you never lose your balance. That's what I've...

    Thailand tax situation

    Btw, a non-o visa based on marriage DOES allow the holder to work in Thailand. On this visa you would only need a work permit to be arranged by an employer if you wanted to work. The employer wouldn't need to arrange a new B visa.

    Receiving an inheritance from Australia

    Currency conversion at Wise will run you about 0.5% or AU$350. You can optimize by sending the AUD from Wise to IB, where conversion will run you just US$2. This will obviously increase your surface area for potential AML annoyances. You will need to decide whether it's worth it by yourself.

    Thai tax residency certificate without spending 180+ days in the country?

    Opening a bank account/buying a car/etc. doesn't require a *tax* residence certificate. It (sometimes) requires a residence certificate, which you can get at any immigration office for 500 baht even if you're currently staying at a hotel for a few days.

    longer stay in Thailand

    I outlined the "simple way" above which is an easy 180 days (60+30 + 60+30). There is currently no simple way that doesn't involve exiting and returning, unless you're over 50 years old.

    longer stay in Thailand

    3 months can be done with a simple tourist visa (actual visa, not a visa exempt entry), which will give you 60 days on entry, and can be extended in-country by another 30 days. If you need more than that then you can do a border bounce (which will net you 30+30 days) or a visa run (which will...

    Interactive brokers deposit rejected

    IB had to beef up their compliance department in the last couple of years because they were previously one of the loosest brokers and got burned for it. Unfortunately as things go they over-corrected and compliance is now ridiculous. Hopefully they will readjust when management sees the...

    Revolut - N26 - Bitcoin for people not living in Europe anymore

    Revolut is a terrible idea for Thailand. They have a 1% markup specifically for THB conversions (and a whopping 2% markup on weekends), plus 0.5% for anything over €1K/mo (basic plan). Even (Transfer)Wise is slightly better at a spread of "only" 0.4-0.5 % depending on volume. So unless you...

    BVI Company Liquidation/Dissolution

    Sure, just as not paying the annual fee results in supposedly huge fines and threats before the company is struck-off (and then you are still liable for those fees+fines). These are not enforceable.

    BVI Company Liquidation/Dissolution

    The company won't be in good standing anyway, since it doesn't pay annual fees or the dissolution fee. I don't see any incentive for filing the substance reports in this case...?

    Digital Nomad / Perpetual Traveller - 0% tax with US LLC

    @joffreylol @rowena Just curious, are you filing forms 5472 & 1120 by yourselves or are you using an accountant? The forms look pretty simple, just want to make sure I'm not missing any nuances.

    Whats your thoughts about Transferwise now?

    You should be able to receive SWIFT on it eventually. Hope they're right about this, but I think they missed the Feb deadline... From their post on the changes: Can I use my new EUR bank details to accept Euros sent from outside the EU? Payments like these are called SWIFT payments. At the...

    ePayments is gone!

    Where did you hear this very accurate rumor two days before the implosion?
