I've been to Malaysia a couple of times (only KL) and I did not really like it when compared to Bangkok. For me it is not. For others it could be.

What's the alternative? I do not know if Philippines could be. It is not as good as Thailand.

Whatever, but through someone on Fiverr, who actually fills and submits the same form, you can get it in 5-7 days. I used the same guy that someone posted here in the forum like 1.5 years ago and it is legit. A friend also used that service a month ago an he got the EIN in less than a week. You...

One week or less if you do it through someone on Fiverr. Cost $15-20

Yes, I am aware of it. Stupid measures that do not work. But in other countries they do not have the squatters problem like in Spain (for many years now), which is even worse. And some politicians encouraging the occupation of properties. For instance, the mayor of Barcelona for the last 8 years.

To make it even more clear, I am from Spain, although I do not live there, and I would not buy any residential property in Spain. I have some connections to acquire properties in my region (mainly from foreclosures) every now and then before they go public at a very good prices below market...

I confirm this is 100% true. And many of these squatters know the law better than the average citizen, as a matter of fact, they are advised by NGOs (funded with public money) on how to do it to delay the procedures and stay as long as possible and take advantage of the system. One of the first...

If the person is a non-US resident, then they only open the broker account, but not the checking account. But they do send a card linked to the broker account. I wanted to open an account with then and I didn't because of that.

I've been a few times in KL. KL is boring compared to Bangkok, it doesn't offer as many things, and my experience with locals is that they aren't nice, as opposed to Thailand. That they don't try to scam you, I agree. It's also cheaper I would say. About Penang I can't say anything because...

And what is the difference between what you just wrote and what I said?

What I said is what the TRC says. If you don't know how to read or interpret a law is no my problem. What people believe or not, I don't care and it's not my problem. That being said. Do whatever the heck you want. If you want to pay tax on your worldwide income in Thailand, up to you with the...

The source would always be the Revenue Code. Thai Revenue Code sections 40 and 41

Remitted to Thailand. And also income with Thai source if you generated any.

Your visa has nothing to do with your tax residency. If you are in Thailand 180 days or more in the same year, you are a tax resident in Thailand. Period. If that happens, you should pay taxes on your remitted income. If you have paid taxes before for said remitted income before, you might use a...

Chartered accountants. That's not the issue. But some do not know much when international taxation and structures come into play. I did not even mention any price. I had a consultation (for a different business) in the past with a guy who charges $700/hour, and it was a waste of my time and...

Here every week there is a new hub. This is a hub of the previous hub that was a hub of the other hub. I have lost the count of how many hubs they have announced in the last months.

No worries. I knew that you were not being critical. Thank you! I was just speaking my mind out about paying a consultation, because in my experience, and my friends' experience, paying does not guarantee we would receive good advice or facts. As a matter of fact, I was looking to pay someone...

It is not about paying, I do not mind paying. I have paid in the past to "experts". The problem is when one pays and the expert has no idea. You can speak to 3 of them and the 3 of them might come up with different solutions that are not compatible with the others. I was not even looking for a...

I think the same. I'm already speaking to another accountant to verify the information and that I'm not in a big mess with the HMRC.

It was an initial free consultation. I told him I would have to double check and get back to him. So I guess he didn't disclose all the details. My fault also because I did not ask specifically that question. He said about an economy agreement between Ireland and the UK because of economic...
