  1. Interesting story from 9 years ago, a 23 year old chef is sentenced for fraud. His name: Wesleigh Cyril Russell from Clitheroe He would be 32 now. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/15498288.clitheroe-man-left-mum-daughter-dire-financial-straits-fraudulently-selling-car/ Five years earlier, when our Mr Russell would have been 18 years old, a Wesley Cyril Russell aged 18, of Clitheroe, is sentenced for theft from a hotel https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/9996754.clitheroe-crooks-holiday-cost-hotel-14-922/
  2. This works for my private pensions but should also be the same for the state pension Create an online account with the Government Gateway. Use the Gateway to register with and access your HMRC account. In your HMRC account, select the PAYE option Then select "check your current pay, income and tax details" Your pension income should be listed on the next page Click on "Update" for your state pension and you can change the income they have on their records
  3. The problem is that trying to sell within a year is a serious handicap to getting a fair price for the property. You will be taken advantage of unless you have a very easy to sell property. I am in a similar situation, I would expect it would take at least two years to find a buyer. One option is to leave the house to a Thai family member you both trust with instructions to sell the house and give the proceeds to you. (I have this option, my sister-in-law). As a backup ask your wife to grant you a 30 year lease on the property. So if the legatee/trustee goes postal or they die and you are dealing with their executors/legatees you can stay in the house.
  4. I understand In the DLT requires proof of address from both the seller and the buyer.
  5. I obtained a CoR on 22 October as I will need one when I sell my car. Car is still unsold so my question is what is the validity of a CoR for Department of Land Transport
  6. I've had two occasions when unauthorised payments have been made on my Krungsri credit card. Both occasions I submitted the claim form by email and both occasions the payments were removed from my account.
  7. Are they available in Thailand?
  8. Helpful responses thank you. I am trading in one car for another so i will prepare two CoRs issued within 30 days.
  9. I have a CoR for a car sale/purchase dated 9 March. Is there an expiry date for this certificate for the Land Transport Office?
  10. Look for assayed gold like this: https://express.ausiris.co.th/1baht.html Check gold price here: https://www.goldtraders.or.th/DailyPrices.aspx
  11. Ok I just worked it out. When you apply for your permit in Thailand you need to choose under which convention it will be issued. 1968 or 1949. Thai language page on this: https://safedrivedlt.com/ทำใบขับขี่/ใบขับขี่สากล/
  12. I just went to collect my rental car from Toyota Kyoto and they informed me my International Driving Permit issued in Thailand is not valid. The Thai permit is issued under the 1968 Convention. Japan only recognises permits issued under the 1949 Convention. So only licenses issued by signaturies to the 1949 Convention will be accepted in Japan. List of countries here: https://treaties.un.org/pages/ViewDetailsV.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XI-B-1&chapter=11&Temp=mtdsg5&clang=_en UK is signed up to 1949 so next time I will bring my UK license and permit
  13. I used a certificate of residence issued by Immigration to purchase a car last year. Do I need a new one to sell it, that is transfer ownership at the land Transport Office?
