Mekong Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 The US IRS exemption for foreign earned income is $97,600. No worries about me for paying taxes. Flash That was 2013 figures probably will hit 100K in 2014 plus a US Citizen can deduct certain Foreign Housing Costs. I have just had breakfast with an American Guy I work alongside here in Nam (Public Holiday today) he has lived in Nontaburi for over 20 years and his eldest Luk Krueng son is at college in the US. He is due out on leave next weekend and will miss the Songkran chaos in Thailand by spending a few days in Singapore and opening a bank account there, Singapore is the only ASEAN country to have set up an IGA.

cavanami Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yesterday, was able to open a CD, 2.8% for 11 months with Bangkok Bank. The bank required additional info from me, social security number (SS#), etc. The lady doing the account was filling out the form on the computer and I could see the screen, so was able to offer what was needed to get the CD setup, the SS#, etc. Looks like the war on money laundering is giving me a pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
