    One solution, Send money from your bank to PP then link your Paypal to Transferwise and send the cash from Paypal to TW... I sent money from PP it arrives in about 30 minutes..sometimes sooner

     

    My bank is UK and doesn't have any problems sending to TW 

     

    Max Levchin Paypal co-founder is a Major shareholder in TransferWise as is Richard Branson

    Why oh Why should Agents Days be numbered ?

    I asked my agent and he told me No Problems for them, but I do think that folks who are not 100% legal, well there days are numbered especially as a friend tells me that the 800K for single folks, is going up to 1 Million.

     

    john

    it is unfair to say a friend tells you the 800K is going up for single people .

    Where does your friends information come from on this point ?

    The ones who you say are not 100% legal would be the ones that it would not effect , the alleged funds that are allegedly supplied would just increase by the extra required.

    Areas vary. I have found over the years that it isnt the actual post office that was the problem it was the Postman. Living in a rural area sometimes he wouldnt come until he had a fill load for the village. Properties scattered everywhere with no logical sequence must be a nightmare to find addresses. I reverted to renting a PO Box at the local office (500baht yr) and never lost or missed a delivery again from that day to this. ?

    Same for me no mail gone missing since I took PO box also

    Agree with Trujillo ( for once!) "best fish n chips in the uk"...Haha, in his dreams......I m from Yorkshire where you can go to any village and find half a dozen "chippies" all of which produce lovely fish n chips ten times better than anything Kellys has ever produced!

    He won the prize when he was in the Uk, his Fish Shop was called Out of the Blue.

    It is a prestigious prize to win in the Uk.

    I received many cards in the post over the last 12 years, both from Europe and America. Not one of them was registered and none have ever gone missing.

    Same here never a problem in same amount of time.

    Wow! But I doubt it, being contracted out. They make deductions I think. Yeah, I'm lazy, it's a couple of years until I'm eligible, and I've never given much thought to pensions, concentrating on everyday life now. I have a pension, linked to the consumer price index, and payable in Thailand with the increases, but that's more by luck than judgement.

    You need to register on the Government gateway, then you can find out all you need to know.it is easy to do.

    It was the issue of ‘parts’ that I was concerned with. Could be totally incorrect but a Thai friend said parts were not readily available or expensive compared to other brands...??

    if someone has had direct experience with getting parts I’d be interested to hear it....Thanks.

     

    Check with ex pats autos they are very helpful.

    I have friends who have told me

    It is from the date you leave the UK to go live overseas

    If you go back for a period you go back to full pension'  But when yo leave to go back to your original payment you receive when you left to go live overseas

    Its a killer for pensioners but a win for the government

    They are looking into this

    But they dont realty want to cnange

    As it will cost the government more money

     

    It is from the Date you start receiving your pension, the amount you will get less any contracted out years is given on your pension statement forecast. If you visit the uk yes you get the current level while in the UK then it reverts back to the level that was on your pension statement when you leave the UK again .

  9. Check the management fee accounts for the condo,the expenditure should be displayed in the Office ,also enquire into the sinking fund for the building and the amount in the account.If all that is in order make some enquiries with owners of the units not tenants.Tenants will not always tell you the truth in case it causes them problems in the future with the condo owner. Take a Thai speaker with you that is the only way you will get anywhere near the truth.
