No. The fact is that Ukrainian propaganda said so. And suddenly these “children kidnapped by Russian soldiers” were discovered by the German police in Germany. So, did Ukrainian propaganda tell the truth, what do you think? Were the children kidnapped or did their parents simply transport the children to Germany, escaping from military conflict through Russia, and Ukrainian propaganda took advantage of the moment and declared that they were “kidnapped by Russian soldiers”? Hint: in 2022 Russia got 2,8 millions refugees from Ukraine. Or do you have your own version explaining how Ukrainian children, declared in Ukrainian and Western propaganda as “kidnapped,” could suddenly show up in Germany?

reader, esp. for you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgiy_Gongadze - founder of Ukrainian pravda. His name is at the bottom of each page of "Ukrainian pravda" as memorial. Now in Kiev exists Gongadze avenue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainska_Pravda and this is NOT proRussian newspaper, such medias don't exists since Zelenskiy shutted down about 100 newspapers, radio and TV channels in 2020, - one of journalists and editor of UP even worked in Zelenskiy govt as minister.

Hahahahaha.... dear, are you living in 20 century yet? "Pravda" was Lenin's and communists newspaper. Was. In USSR. "Pravda" agency never exists. URL to pravda.com.ua - is to "Ukrainian pravda" - one of Ukrainian newspapers, which is working in Ukraine. And the same what declared by Ukrainian Pravda is on official state police website https://www.npu.gov.ua/news/u-spivpratsi-z-nimetskymy-kolehamy-ukrainskym-pravookhorontsiam-vdalosia-vstanovyty-na-terytorii-frn-161-ukrainsku-dytynu-vykradenu-rosiieiu gov.ua is enough for you for to trust fact what "kidnapped" kids were found in Germany?

We are talking about visas, thread is about visas, so it is not important how many Vietnamese were trafficked to US for prostitution.

Have you brought urban legends of propaganda media here again? Russia evacuated children from orphanages on the front line, whom the Ukrainians did not even think about taking to safety, but used as human shields for their troops. Most of the children, declared by Ukraine as kidnapped, by the way, have already been found... in Germany. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/04/17/7451586/ https://bukvy.org/en/161-ukrainian-children-deported-by-russia-found-in-cooperation-with-germany/ https://thepressunited.com/updates/ukrainian-children-kidnapped-by-moscow-found-in-germany/ Official statement by Ukrainian police https://www.npu.gov.ua/news/u-spivpratsi-z-nimetskymy-kolehamy-ukrainskym-pravookhorontsiam-vdalosia-vstanovyty-na-terytorii-frn-161-ukrainsku-dytynu-vykradenu-rosiieiu How wonderfully the Ukrainian lie machine works: blaming the Russian Federation for taking the children out, having previously hidden them in Germany... Or you really think what Russia kidnapped kids and then in cooperation with Germany hiding them on German territory?

Guys, you need to decide - are we discussing which country is more accessible to the poor or where oligarchs prefer to live? It is obvious that in the Russian Federation there is no British snobbery and American racism. This has been laid down since the times of the USSR - internationalism and all that. A fair international policy of real mutual respect is reflected in the approach to visas. And none of you will be able to oppose anything to this. The Russian Federation and Thailand have mutual visa-free travel for tourists. How many of you can say the same about your country and Thailand? You - all those who travel to Thailand without a visa - can you say that Thais can also freely come and see your country without a visa?

Since Ukrainians are allowed free entry into the Russian Federation only through airports, it is obvious that every night Russian saboteurs kidnap Ukrainians, stuff them into flying saucers and take them to Russia...

So you have above proportional migration for past 30+ years from World Bank. Russia is more attractive than most EU countries.

It is not "another hand" it is another year... by the way: number for 2023 in WIKI is wrong - in 2023 should be negative number... 2022 is also out of trend - Ukrainian migration... But you may see trend in which Russia always was more attractive for migration than most countries of EU here: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SM.POP.NETM?end=2022&locations=RU-GB-DE-AU-FR&start=1991

If you see the same table, as I see, then there are only 2 options: we are booth wearing the same lenses, we are booth without lenses.

Your pic is wrong. Ukrainians still able to visit Russia without visa.

You are victim of Western propaganda. Welcome to real world: Russia is third in World and next after US country by incoming migration. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_sovereign_states_by_net_migration_rate&diffonly=true And to talk about Australia is funny: whole continent has population just a little bit more than population of Moscow and 10 mln less than living in Jakarta (Indonesia).

Read above: Thais have visa free enter to Russia. Can US, UK, Germany or any other country from EU tell the same? Since 1992 Russia has absolutely clear and civilized practice: if country gave visa free enter to Russians, then Russia gives visa free enter to this country. Can you tell the same about your country? "NO WAY!" How many "money country" you see in this list? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Russia Pay attention: even now Ukrainians are free to enter to Russia via some check points. My Thai friends already visited me few times, I just send them letter what I will host them, because on the border tourist should show reservation of hotel, so they show this letter instead. https://thailand.mid.ru/en/consular-services/visa_information/

Risking to derail visa thread, but can't not say: why whole world trades with evil then? Even these countries which nonstop talking and brawling about "sanctions" more than 2 years already? Why each year 2-3 additional countries make visa-free entrance for Russian, why Thailand just few days ago participated in BRICS session in Russia and send letter of joining to BRICS?

I'm sure too. If you want to joke about Putin, correct is "Tsar" - at least it has sense

This explains a lot. It is difficult to expect much from a person who receives nothing for his work. And obviously you shouldn't expect quality. If you're not Barry, but you know him, tell him about сhatGPT.

At least I read his nonsense Sometimes I think: Barry Kanyon = Pattaya Mail... 1:1. Editor, writer, secretary, courier and cleaner. "5 in 1".

Barry Kenyon is idiot and never checks facts. He collects urban legends and pretends they are true. Correct name of "lender Tinkoff" is T-bank. This phrase is generally beyond comprehension; it could have been written by a person who believes that the wind blows because the mills are spinning. Thai Bahts are widely represented in exchange points in main Russian cities because of bidirectional money moving: here are a lot of Thai students, tourists and businessman because Russia is visa-free for Thais as Thailand is visa-free for Russians. Money transfers in THB and RUB exists more than 10 years in both directions. T-bank doesn't work with Turkish lira 12 countries "around 30 countries" - it is about Sberbank - #1 on Russian market. Both banks are under US sanctions, so their press releases should read “we can still transfer money to 12\30 countries.” There are more than 300 banks in Russia, about 20 of them are under sanctions and the possibilities of international transfers in them are limited. In order not to lose money transfer business, such banks advertise their transfer services “to certain countries.” In the remaining 280 banks, transfers are carried out worldwide. The whole article as a whole is nonsense, because it makes no sense to compare the South-Eastern region with Schengen: before the advent of Schengen, the European Union was first formed and after 20+ years some of the EU countries managed to agree on Schengen. I assume that the countries of the South-Eastern region will take significantly less time to form a visa union than the senseless bureaucracy of the European Union.

I think there is misunderstanding in this news: because of questionable naming of this company it has sub-cumpany for international flights "Sunday airlines" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_Airlines with Boeings 757 and 767 suitable for long haul flights.

Small low key airline from Kazakhstan. Works since 1998. Very questionable service. Mostly charter flights. Only nonrefundable tickets - it is not possible to return any ticket, only option to change to another day. At past it was typical "countryside aviation company" with few small and slow aircraft and flights btw small towns within Kazakhstan. Now it has small park of Boeing 737 MAX, which were grounded for 2 years at time of scandal with that model.

Visa requirements are exempted for citizens of the following countries: Federal Republic of Germany, Republic of France, Republic of Italy, Kingdom of Spain, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Russian Federation, Japan, Republic of Korea, Kingdom of Denmark, Kingdom of Sweden, Kingdom of Norway, Republic of Finland Republic of Belarus with a temporary residence duration of 45 days from the date of entry, Resolution No. 128/NQ-CP, takes effect from August 15, 2023.

This is a general rule. But it is important to understand that if there is a double tax treaty between your country of citizenship and your country of residence, then the rules from this treaty will apply, and not the “183 day rule”, since international treaties have greater force than local legislation, if not the opposite is stated. Therefore, it is extremely important to study this particular agreement in order to avoid “surprises”. That is, you should start studying the problem with “what country am I a citizen of?” Then - “is there a double tax treaty between my country and the country where I live?” If it is not there, then you can study what the Thai government is now trying to change, and if it is, then you should only worry about what is in the treaty, provided that there is a clause that it is stronger than local legislation. Another thing you need to pay attention to: if you have real estate in Thailand as your own, or you are the owner of a Thai company, then the Thai tax department has very good reasons to consider Thailand your center of vital interests and not pay attention to how many days within 365 days in a row you actually live in Thailand. But renting a home is not a basis for applying the “center of vital interests” rule. Another mistake you make is that you count years in “tax years” and calendar years. But for residence, the calculation is carried out as “the number of days in the country in any consecutive 365 days”, unless the tax treaty provides otherwise.

This may not work. Especially for such cases, in treaties on the avoidance of double taxation there is the concept of “center of vital interests” - the place where a person spends significant time and on which the income of this person depends. If the Thai Tax Department recognizes Thailand as your center of vital interests, then, based on the above-mentioned treaty, it may recognize you as a resident of Thailand even if you have not lived in the country for 183 days. Whether this actually happens depends on the content of the double taxation treaty, and what that treaty provides for persons with a “centre of vital interests” in Thailand, if that concept is included in the treaty. And, conversely, if the center of your vital interests is recognized as the country from which you receive your pension, then in Thailand you will not pay anything, since you will not be a resident. But there is another option: you can be recognized as a resident of both countries. Yes, this is also possible. This is especially true for US citizens, who, in order to become a US resident, need to live in the US not 183, but only 31 days during the year or 183 days within 3 years, for citizens of Israel (30 days within year), Cyprus (60 days within year), citizens of UK, who has property in UK and lives there 30 days within a year (in some cases only 16 days). Bottom line: everything, once again: EVERYTHING depends on the existence and content of an agreement between Thailand and the country of your citizenship on the avoidance of double taxation. Moreover, you will need the services of both a Thai consultant and a consultant from your country.

183 days is precise number of days what makes person resident of country of the stay: 183 is exactly minimal number for "more than half of year" (365/2 = 182.5)

While "boy may marry at 14", he still counts as minor at 14. Sex with minors is criminal offence. Do you see difference btw "marry" and sex?
