Don't ask much of my offspring most of them come here every year and stay with us except this year of course.

 

My UK bank has my address here so they send my credit cards and debit cards here.

 

My family is quite large so some of them can't always get over so we just keep in touch all year by facebook messager.

What's the name of the bank

Best to do two separate Wills.

Does the last will I do cancel out the first will did I'm concerned about that 

Don't want to hijack this post but if you have assets in Thailand and your home country would a will in your home country cover it or do you need 2 seperate wills

Does the consulate offer any type of service or help/advice related to setting up a power of attorney for British citezens living in Thailand.

Regarding the ISAs.  If you become a non British resident, you are allowed to keep your ISA accounts (if opened before departing the UK).  However you won't be allowed to add anymore external money to the account.

That's correct

Or bung £20K into a tax free ISA account each year and pay sod all. 

You can't pay into an isa if your non resident it's illegal 

On the above form one of the questions is "do you have health insurance yes or no" 

Can the consular explain the relevance of this question

You've confused the word 'farangs' and 'Americans', all us western folk outside America get free health care from our governments.

 

If your a UK non resident you don't get free health care in the UK unless you pretend not to be non resident

If your British you have to inform HMRC of any untaxed foreign interest up to £2000

Thanks.

I assume you only have a 3 month fixed term account, or is it a longer term.

12 month fixed deposit

Just now, Tanoshi said:

Who do you bank with?

Government saving bank

I assume you can't change promotions on the account either 

Like 3 month fixed account updated to a 6 month fixed account because that would be the same as closing the account 

When should I get my book updated every 3 calender months or every 90 days exactly on the day the day before or the day after so many ifs and buts immigration can easy trip you up

Everyone should have at least 1 million baht in liquid form in case of emergencies. For me its my visa requirements and reserve for medical expenses that make me a 1% according to this (?) research. 

When the mandatory health insurance comes in you will be forced to give your money to an insurance company, then if your sick you won't have the money for medical expences

Nope - Krungsri will only update with the last dozen or so transactions - maybe fewer

If the account is not used as in my situation and I get it updated nothing shows unless I make a point of making a small deposit

Maybe I should do that

Glad you posted that... in there it says..

Phuket Immigration do not accept income into a bank account less than the required 12 months period.

Which was mentioned in another thread a little while ago. IE No 'leniency'...

 

Why do you need to update your bank book on a regular basis if you update on the day of your application it will show All withdrawals and deposits up to that date

Ah the safe

The first place to look

Look boys all the money in here try and get it open

surfeit meaning...

"excessive amount" of proof.. 

Haha yea thanks for the English lesson. it's getting more and more like an inland revenue tax investigation

The 800k is the only money requirement in your case. You don't have to show any more cash imports. As long as that money sits untouched in your account you can do whatever you like with any extra funds. 

However, they do require you to prove the 800k is there, and has been there for the seeding period. For this they require a surfeit of proof, including a letter from the bank confirming the current balance, an account statement from the bank that confirms it's been there for the required time, and copies of your bank book for no real reason that I can see.

I did my extension in Phuket this week, and they also wanted another  picture of me in front of the house. I had provided one a couple of years ago, but the lady officer wanted it again despite the fact it is not a  legislated requirement for a retirement extension. They can ask for many extra things just to create an annoyance. 

Thanks old Croc. what is surfeit of proof? 

In addition to the 800k untouched for a year for retirement extension 

And showing monthly withdrawals from another Thai account for living expenses. 

Do I need to show anything else such as transfers from my forign account to my thai bank account 

I usally only transfer a large amount every 3 years enough to live on for 3 years because it works out cheaper 

Anything else I'm missing. 

Do immigration specify how much you need to live on every month

If people are so poor that they have to beg how can you fine them 500 to 2000 baht very confussing

I also got confronted by a big fat black woman in the same area she pushed me against the wall and put her hand in my top pocket and grabbed 300baht I managed to grab her hand and twist it, got my 300 baht back she squealed like a pig when I twisted her hand

Can anyone tell me if the sukhumvit BTS goes all the way to kheha

I want to go from nana to kheha but judging from the map looks like a gap after bearing maybe the line is not finnished yet
