I'm 70 years old, and married to a Thai woman for 25 years. She has not worked in Thailand since we married. I have never worked in Thailand. I've lived in Thailand since 2009.
I get two pensions, in the UK one the normal UK state pension, & the other private from a company I worked for. I have not brought any money into Thailand since December 2023. We have substantial savings in the UK, which I would like to bring to Thailand, over the next few years. These savings have been in the UK Bank, since before the start of 2024, but I would prefer not to pay tax on it, when I do bring it over.
What can I bring over without paying tax?
How much tax would I pay if I decided to have both pensions paid directly to a Thai bank, instead of going into UK Banks?
Can I gift money to my wife, via Bank transfers from the UK, without paying tax?
