You need to learn that the background is largely irrelevant; it is where/what you finish up as that counts.

No. Those of us that are happy are the ones who do not waste their capital (and I have a lot..............).

I don't own anything in Thailand. Renting is always the best advice.

There is more to life than conversation.........😉

What 'anomaly' ?

Daughter is visiting for a month and apart from an annual health check, at Jomtien hospital, she wants to have 2 small miles checked out. Any suggestions for Pattaya to Sattahip area - and does anyone know if Jomtien hospital offers such a service (nothing obvious on their website).

Won't do any harm.

I am surprised that no has berated the OP for his tardiness with the passport renewal. That should have been at the forefront of his mind since approval of the previous extension.

Not just him.

Says a lot about America.

Veteran is just a job title, it doesn't bring any additional entitlements. The people you describe are not entitled to any of that.

If I believe my GP (and I do believe my GP) when I asked him about taking amlodipine and cialis, said that the two drugs worked in totally different ways - and did not conflict with each other. The Cialis sends blood to the penis, blood pressure tablets are a calcium channel blocker.

Works OK where the 'democracy' is a sham.

I think I would prefer that scenario

Add me to that. I got 11k back. Just needed a police report from Pattaya police, took everything to the government insurance on Sukhumvit just past Naklua - walked out with a cheque 20 mins later.

He is scum. The nationality is irrelevant

Probably, probably, probably................................you should be an economist.

Useless rant.

"was" in technical recession for the end of 2023. January to March will likely show minor growth.

It is relative to Thailand because the tax code situation ONLY affects people in countries where the pension is frozen....ie Thailand.

You need to set up a Government Gateway account and make your claim to HMRC via there. A friend recently received a refund of £850.

Incorrect. The IO simply ticks a box from evidence that YOU supply. An IO could not analyse my bank statements if he looked at them all day.............a quick scan for 65k coming in monthly is the extent of their activities. Obviously there were no bank statements in the days of the embassy letters.

I will never be short of beer money..................agent or no agent. If the helpful little chappie at desk 8? could process my extension application 3 months before the due date then I wouldn't use an agent. I don't care what you say, Jomtien Immigration is not a pleasurable place even when things happen as smoothly and timely as in your case. One added bonus of using the agent this year is that I get immediate access to my 800k so I won't be making as many monthly transfers. I can build up my second lot of Premium Bonds holdings and hopefully recover my net 6,000 Baht from monthly prizes...... (that is totally separate from my beer money....)

There are many reasons for using an agent. Not having to deal with Jomtien Immigration is one of them. I shall be using an agent this year because I need to renew my extension 3 months early.
