In Topic: Air Asia Not Too Good.

2012-05-13 12:48:03

I have opted not to travel on Air Asia because I would expect this type of service from an airline that has no concern for passengers. I would reclassify them from low cost to low class.

In Topic: Visa And Work Permit

Thanks for the advice Mario2008 and digitalchromakey. I will look at the options. Thai wife visa if I can get all the docs in place looks like the way to go.  National Police Order 777/2551 Section 2.18 one year Thai Spouse extension - this would be fine for the issue of a new Work Permit. Smile!

Yesterday, I met with an officer from a Thai bank and she mentioned to me that the US government is pressuring Thai banks to sign an agreement to identify US citizens and green card holder accounts in Thailand. She said that it would all be in place after about 2 years. FATCA is expected to deduct taxes directly from accounts. It is an administrative nightmare, but will be a reality soon.

Not too worried as I deal with my taxes, but some will certainly have problems.
Thanks, ilyushin, this is what I was looking for: actual first-hand knowledge of what Thai banks are doing re. FATCA.
"FATCA" deducting taxes = rubbish² !

This is what the bank officer that is dealing with FATCA arrangements has informed me. I think the banks will be responsible for reporting and collecting the taxes on the US citizens. She mentioned they are establishing a sysetm to identify the citizens and green card holders. Why go to all the trouble to identify the accounts if they will not take some kind of action? Thai taxes are automatically deducted on interest so the system could follow that template and then funnel the funds to the FATCA accounts. I don't put anything past the US government at this point.

Wage a bet on rubbish?
