  1. I deliberately avoided saying that and was giving a general warning that these guys often get things wrong. However, in your specific example it's probably not black and white. If the money is in a simple bank account and you have a statement from 31/12/2023 showing a balance, then that balance should not be taxable if brought into Thailand. If however that money gets added to in any form (interest, further deposits etc) it could get messy. If the money is held in pensions, stocks or other financial instruments then all bets are off, and given what we read or watch the taxman could claim some of it. I'm a firm believer that the taxman is not interested in us run of the mill foreigners living here on retirement or marriage extensions, but that could change down the line.
  2. Don't believe half of what you read on these expat tax charlatan's websites.
  3. I've found with Bangkok Bank face scan that the lighting seems to be the key thing to success or not (assuming one can read the instructions to blink or smile or whatever). Going out into natural light improved my success rate each time.
  4. No need to arrange. Just follow the "Priority" signs towards one side at the bottom of the ramp up to immigration. Fast Track is probably the wrong term now as the original Fast Track is now just for diplomats, aircrew etc and the Priority lane is for most of tose who used to go through Fast Track like Over 70s, Business/First Class etc.
  5. No-one is checking for these certificates, but when they were issued they were only valid for a couple of weeks (a multiple entry (exit) style version lasting longer was available if justifiable). I doubt if they were even thought about by those specifying the auto exit lane requirements. I don't know the answer to the rest of your questions and expect to never have to find out.
  6. They are not issued as part of the tax return process. They are applied for seperately, normally within 2 weeks of travel.
  7. How does this relate to the safe issues the thread is about?
  8. Mytello has been recommended in some of the other threads and can be ran from a computer or with a phone app.
  9. He posted a revised figure in a somewhat confusing post just a short while later.
  10. What is your final destination? What class of travel do you intend to use? Where are you located in Thailand? Anything more about your circumstances and plans while there will get you more focussed replies.
  11. Where are trying to call? When I select the UK from Thailand it indicates I can use Apple or Android apps or a desktop (computer).
  12. Of course something has changed and it's been discussed numerous times across several threads. I posted this earlier but will repeat again. Wise recently changed and transfers to Bangkok Bank now all appear as International Transfers and will arrive shortly after 2:00pm on a working day. This will be the same working day if initiated early enough (I think before something like 09:30 or 10:00) or the next day if after that. If that service does not support your needs then don't use it.
  13. He/she was told this 6 months ago so surely can't still be the same problem? https://aseannow.com/topic/1347041-minibus-from-mochit-bus-terminal/#comment-19473333
  14. Still no mention of reason for transfer being selected, but as per various other posts that is now the standard for all BBL transfers whereas previously instant transfers were possible. It's not Wise withholding anything for any reason other than that is how the current transfer process works.
  15. I guess it's because the SF Express company which is mentioned upthread as having taken over Kerry originated in mainland China, a communist country.
