This is the first year I'll be a Thai tax resident, so I'm trying to figure everything out. I work for a foreign company fully remote. Salary is paid in a foreign country into a foreign bank account. When I send money to Thailand, it it sent to a Thai bank account. I'm on a DTV.

The question is: how much tax do I pay to Thailand? After way too much research online, it seems there are 3 camps on this:

  1. Work performed in Thailand is considered "Thai-sourced" and must be taxed as income in Thailand. So, if you stay in Thailand all year and have a remote job in the US and are paid in the US, it's still Thai-sourced income and the whole salary is taxable.

  2. Yes, technically #1 is correct, b

We've been dating for 3 months and we don't live together. We haven't seen each other in about a week, and we had plans to meet tonight. She just told me that she's feeling sick -- fever, etc.

I told her I would come and bring her some medicine and some hot soup and snacks, but that I didn't want to stay because I don't want to get sick too. She said this was very selfish, and that I should stay and take care of her while she was sick. This seems weird to me, because I would be doing my best to self-isolate if I were sick. I really don't want to make others sick too.

I could see how if we were living together it would be different. But given the length of the relationship and the fact tha

I'm about to move to Thailand, and I have been a resident of an income tax free state for many years. I will need to have a US mailing address for bank accounts, credit cards, etc, and my family all live in Virginia.

If I use my family's home mailing address for financial matters, will Virginia consider me having domiciliary residency there and want state income tax? I will not be taking any additional steps toward establishing residency in Virginia -- I won't be getting a driver's license or anything like that.

I've read they are fairly ruthless about pursuing taxes for domiciliary residents living abroad, but there doesn't seem to be a particularly well-defined criteria defining domicile

This is a weird one.

When I got my Legion 7i, I tested it out some with the stock SSD, then swapped it for something bigger. I did a full Windows install, all the Windows updates, all the Lenovo drivers, and I noticed a stutter every few seconds. Latencymon said it was coming from the Nvidia drivers, so I did DDU, reinstalled the ones from Lenovo's website, tried all kinds of stuff. Still a stutter.

So, then I was like, maybe it was actually there before, so I swapped back to the original factory SSD. No stutter, very low latency measured in Latencymon.

Then I tried doing a Windows install and going offline immediately to block Windows Update, then installed all the Lenovo drivers manual

Hi all, I have a few questions about US S-Corps and foreign EORs. My current accountant is not great on foreign tax issues, so I was hoping to get a general idea of how it would work before I go any further.

I have a primary residence in the US and do contracting via a single-member S-Corp. I want to move to Thailand and pass my S-Corp salary through an EOR. It would be my clients paying my S-Corp -> my S-Corp paying the EOR -> the EOR paying me.

What I'm wondering is:

  1. Can my S-Corp pay the EOR and then count that as salary paid to me? The EOR pays my taxes and takes a percentage fee. Would I count that entire EOR payment as salary, or would the fee portion be an S-Corp expense and not

There's a thread over on aseannow talking about how the NZ consulate posted the new visa fee schedule, and prices are 2-3X 2-6X higher than what they are currently. They start on March 19th.

New NZ visa fees on MFA site: https://image.mfa.go.th/mfa/0/Ty8J7f4hKr/Announcements/Consular_Service_fees.pdf

Discussion thread: https://aseannow.com/topic/1320861-new-visa-fees-beginning-on-19th-march-2024/

The admins over there seem to have just confirmed in the thread that the visa fee increases are real, at least in NZ. They are not sure if it's worldwide or not, but it seems likely. Apparently it will be announced later today.

EDIT: Non-immigrant visas are going up over 6X, 120 -> 800 N

I got my official Samsung bookcover case today and I don't love it -- no protection and not great to hold with one hand. I have an existing TPU case from kwmobile that I've been using that's quite nice to hold and has decent protection, but no good way to prop it up or keep the screen covered, and no pen holder.

So, I tried using them both together. It turns out that the bookcover case closes almost all the way over the S7+ with the TPU case on it, and the magnets are weaker but still work enough to hold it up at the two angles. Magnet wake/sleep works. And, if I want to pick it up, I can just pull the tablet + TPU case out of the bookcover. The front magnet is not strong enough to keep it
