You are right Ben ! I just wait until everything is worked out properly and officially published and then see your video on that!

I didn't know Benny was a tax attorney and that's after listening to several dozen 'Tegrity vids 😅

Personally I hope they do start taxing expats... a few things I would love to see happen, 1st is retirement visas not only you have to show the 800k in the bank but you have to show the funds have been in the account for a MIN of 6 months prior to renewal or application. this would remove it is estimated 35% of broke retiree's that are using dodgy agents, also any retiree found to have done this should also be banned for 10 years

Why is everyone panicking about this, it’s so simple to understand if you DYOR

It's ridiculous when we check in hotel or condo our names and pp are registered with immigration straight away.

I never consult these UA-cam amateurs.

I wonder how difficult the enrolled agent test is. 2+2 = 6. Yes congratulations, here is your certificate. In reality, you will see my fat ass sprint away from any certification IRS provides or recognizes.

It is hard to take this tax stuff seriously.

Facta fail....went to bkk branch to register in person. Manager had no clue what it was...... hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

no I love your advice

Wait till it happens then they can freak then 5555

Absolutely. On the other hand if they make it too expensive and too much of a hassle, we will start going elsewhere. The reason I never visited Russia was the cost and more importantly the hassle of getting a visa when there are other countries in the area that were much easier to travel to.

Thailand is definitely headed towards the dark side, hope they take a different direction soon.

So true, keep up the the great videos😊

Thank you for the updates! I'm keeping my eye on what is changing 🙂

You know Ben, the majority of Thai people don't pay any tax but the government is targeting expats living here on a fixed pension, this is so wrong

You're doing a fantastic job! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

Because the government is threatening to take away people's livelihood. It's scary and causes panic. Sometimes, complaints are in the form of questions. Thailand should stop issuing "plans" that are way down the road and probably not going to happen.

Actually they -the tax office or whoever is responsible, can contact me if they want me to pay tax. Then they can explain why I should pay tax when I get nothing for it! People seems to be so wined up regarding this. Just wait and see, nothing is confirmed as far as I know.

You will know when TR send you the penality bill for no tax return issued ....🤣🤣

We are only trying to understand what this ridiculous Thai tax is all about and how it will affect us. The Thai revenue department has failed to inform the public. Blame them, not us.

I looked at a couple of these and it appeared that the information being given for 2024 was accurate. The Elephant in the Room is the tax on worldwide income because nobody knows ! It seems to me that if this is not clarified by year end that the earliest date for implementation would be 2026.

I have been in Thailand 8 years. I bank with two of the largest banks in Thailand. Neither bank has attempted to communicate with me any new required forms, or tax information. I was in one of these banks yesterday. My banks know I am American, have my social security number, and passport id, photo, etc. I assume such information is shared with the USA if required. Here I am watching another video that sounds scarey and is much about nothing. Nothing at all. Getting tired of it. Thumbs down

Your me, UA-cam is a great and the only source of information about Thai tax matters, because I don't read newspapers like Bangkok Post. Without UA-cam, I wouldn't know out the recent changed in taxation and the considerations to amend the taxation of expats again. The same regarding immigration issues. Unfortunately, there is no official information medium for expats in Thailand. UA-cam also alliws me to capture the various aspects of a topic, pros and cons, etc so I can challenge my tax advisoe or my agent. But of course UA-cam cannot be my tax advisor itself. Here I count on a local professional.

With individual tax advice it is exactly that, individual. Not much is generic, so the best alternative is to obtain advice from a licensed tax professional in your jurisdiction, tailored to your circumstances...

Mate, some of these Expats are simply retarded, i salute you for being straight up. Cheers

Ron Paul is a non-interventionist as was Jefferson. "Commerce with all nations, alliances with none, should be our motto." Thomas Jefferson Thailand needs to ditch the WEF and Ashkenazi Jewish MAFIA as does the USA and most of the rest of the world.

Thank you ,Ben. As usual totally right!

great rant...gimme more

Hong Kong is no longer safe. That is according to the US banks, States Departments and others. It makes no sense to set up anything trust, company etc in HK. Those that is there are LEAVING

I have been working all over the world for many years and I have had to pay for visas in every country. In some countries where I didn't need a visa I had to pay an entrance fee. In some countries I even had to pay for an exit visa.

Great info, I've followed your channel for quite some time! 👍 This BS doesn't only pertain to US citizens, I discovered an email from Kasikorn Bank in my junk folder (ex-pat UK) this morning, complete with attached 🙄PDF files. Keep up the excellent work, following as usual. #FJB and the so-called elite!

Washington has too many government workers The sooner Trump cuts them out the better. Also my friends in Europe OECD never heard of TIN Tax Identification Number and CRS Common Reporting Standard. They are NOT REAL

It's about building power blocks and drawing nations into choosing sides. It leads to polarisation. Thailand needs to focus on being free, letting people do what they need to and that includes most foreigners that wild line to come live there, invest spend money. In saying that, I have noticed that more and more road signs in chiangrai have Chinese on them. Before it was just Thai and English. I wonder what that means? I would be very wary of China. I'm in Australia and foreign influence and wanting to fall in line is destroying things here and making life very difficult and every every expensive. Bureaucrats rule the roost and most people don't understand that always pointing the finger at politicians.

Wef can suck it forever Thai stay Thai self sufficient. Keep the ngos out screw the globalists.

Thanks for this info --- just to clarify, as a Canadian retiree (50+ age) does this mean that if I have an income from Canadian listed stocks greater than 65,000 Baht/month, that I don't need to deposit any funds to a Thai bank account to either obtain (or extend) an OA or O Visa --- that I can instead get verification from the Canadian Consulate to show that I satisfy the financial requirements? This would remove so much planning/stress as I have no pension or gov't income to look forward to for many years still and likely won't get much when I do turn 65. Many Thanks!...from North Vancouver

Ripple has a hand init for sure xrp 💎🙌🤑

Great content Ben! Would it be possible to get a response letter template for all your viewers, in case people receive those indecent bank requests? 😊

The use of nominees particularly for real estate is very widespread here in Chiang Mai, and I speculate in many other cities where a lot of foreigners live )Phuket, Samui, etc.). I don’t expect this to change unless the Thai government wants to take this issue seriously. Complicit in these activities are builders/developers, real estate agents and lawyers. Given the amount of serious serious money involved in these activities, I doubt anything will be done about it. TIT.

everythings becoming a scam ..

The hypocrisy in these comments is 😂😂😂😂😂

Thailand is an escape from WEF. But how long can they remain free.

I think OECD mission is to fight tax evasion & money laundry and if Countries doesn’t sign treaties than they get black listed et et bla bla and our privacy is anyway already gone . Like it or Not you are just a number . I love Thailand 🇹🇭

The OECD offers Thailand and Indonesia nothing, other than a loss of sovereignty. There is no evidence membership promotes investment, which is how it is being promoted. The OECD tax harmonization for one thing is likely to cause damage to Thailand, as it has the potential to destroy Thailands long term tourism sector. Only gullible officials would think that OECD membership offered anything tangible. Singapore refuses to join the OECD sighting potential loss of sovereignty and Malaysia has taken a huge step back from membership after coming to its senses. Malaysia has now extended its tax exemption on foreign income to 2036, and has given up on OECD membership. As for OECD member helping with the EU FTA, it’s totally unrelated. Australia an established OECD member walked away from the EU FTA, when they saw what one sided deal it was. The fact they were an OECD member did not help. Thailand should carefully consider the benefit of OECD membership. Where there is a need for major policy changes to qualify for membership, put it to the Thai people at the election. I am sure no Thai in their right mind would vote for tax harmonization and other crazy western measures in exchange for the possibility of maybe, a slight increase in foreign investments at some point in the future. Terrible trade off.

Dude you're ignorant and living in the past. Welcome to the new multipolar World, BRICS+ is the future! If any ASEAN nation wishes to remove the U.S. boot from their neck, prosper and look forward to the future than their only alternative is to make peace and an alignment with BRICS+.

WORST IMMIGRATION SYSTEM, , MARRIED TO A THAI GIVES YOU ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LONG TERM

Thank you for your bravery! I will use your services soon, very few persons people are willing to say something about WEF and what’s really happening . I love the US, lived here for over 28 years, but so many things are happening in the last few years , I’m preparing myself to retire early .. sadly Thailand was my goal, and now , it’s hard to understand where this is going . Hopefully Trump will be able to take charge ( regardless of compromising DS figures being picked) before WW3 starts , which is all part of their game “ all or nothing “ . With US getting back, we might see a positive reaction of resistance globally , still, the globalist bank system might be slowed down, but strong measures will have to be taken in order to prevent a total takeover . I truly hope Thailand won’t become another UK.

Easy, OECD, it's about totally controle and extra taxes,EU politicians and ex politicians , Bankers are involved in this totalitaire system, including the WEF sekte who want to end people's privacy. It's all about your money they coming after and make you a slave from that anti democratic system. If there is no shame and respect anymore for the people you have a dictatorship, that's exactly what the west is right now.

Dedollarization, Security and Freedom of trade. The USA in recent events has shown the world they openly support genocide.

I almost feel like Thailand wants expats to leave. The remittance tax for one and the proposed application of a global tax - these are expat deterrents. Makes cost of living here significantly higher and increases financial risk with staying here. It's a wealth depletion risk. Lots of expats deemed tax residents (> 180 days here) are talking of leaving and many have reduced spending and not investing. Thailand wants to go straight to a first world fully taxed society without any incentives, rather significantly reducing our 'after tax' exchange rate. Tax significantly increases cost of living here. Who is pulling Thailand's strings? What is the real need and benefit to Thailand for all of these sudden changes and/or proposed changes? Who are the think tanks?
