Took less than 2 weeks from the appointment to delivered to my condo for my Thai lady.  Mid August it was.

My missus' was processed on 20th September, back at VfS today.

I make that 7 working days.

I would ignore the guy mate - judging by his past 'activity' I have added him/her/it to my blocked list. 

Sound advice. ????

Moreover Wise transfers, as many other P2P money remittance solutions, are local transfers not international inward wire transfers.

Yet, recognised by Immigration as such for satisfying foreign income requirements.

What part of ANY, don't you understand?

Any? I have got many.

What I don't understand is what you are getting at - or are you just trolling again.

I would be asking about specific qualifications, if it was indeed relevant at all. 

Which it isn't.

Do you have any qualifications? You are very good at talking Thai people down, what have you achieved yourself in life? 

You haven't answered the question.

I only talk down the idiots - Thai or Farang.

Yes, very successful.

So why then all the fuzz on it , if not possible  by Thailand to enforcing it ...... also WHY 56 pages about it here .....?

I.O. officers are most possible key players for control .....let's hope  they don't like to assist Tax office on just asking a TIN  numbers ????

 

 

Because some people like scaremongering - and some people like to panic at the slightest whiff of trouble.

Nothing concrete, nothing official about it happening, keep a watching brief.

would be easy if they wish it to so ..... just an extra document demanded by I.O. when doing whatever connection to your Stay Thailand status .... TIN  number by example ...

I don't believe that it would be anything like as easy as you suggest.

The Thai authorities can't even connect traffic offences with road tax/licence renewal.

You have tried 'tap and go' here have you?

 

 

I am waiting for the old hags in Makro queues to move towards that technology - QR codes take them ages, just as bad in 7-11.

Thailand is way in advance of UK banking.

 

Everyone here now uses QR codes to pay for everything. The UK is still stuck using debit cards.

 

Here the banks hand you your debit card over the counter, back in the UK they want 14 days to post it to so criminals can have a go intercepting it and using it first.

 

UK banking security is a bad joke!

I had reason to stay in Issan for 2 whole months out of choice. No Pattaya no Bangkok in late 2011

Buriram and Lantanmanchai

 

I consider myself easy going (some will disagree lol) but always fit in easily wherever I am and adapt.... Give me the Sun and lotion and an internet connection and I'm a pig in paradise

 

At 60 days hard up against the Tourist Visa I was going completely dollally up there seriously

 

It was actually the end of the marriage (yes there were other reasons) but go up there out of choice to live alone (or even with a Thai) and 98% you will go completely mad.

 

Period

Few people in their right mind choose to live in Isaan.

We move to Isaan because that is where our teeraks hail from.

Some, who financially don't need to stay, stay and make a success of it. Most stay because they have few, if any, other options.

I wonder if immigration can refuse exit from the country if back taxes were not paid?

 

They do that in the USA in exceptional cases, the IRS invalidates your passport so you can’t leave.

They couldn't manage to collect a small departure tax; do you really think they could become tax collectors??

That won't work. 

When you obtain extension using money in bank method for your next extension after that they check retrospectively.

They will want to see the requirements (financials) for money in bank were satisfied. 

 

 

 

Exactly what I had to evidence this year.

If you're talking about when dead, it's easy as everything is clear in the will, very simple.

But will involve Probate costs.

Others are looking at practical methods of the GF/Wife accessing the bank funds.

Nope. Incorrect. She has full access, through the ATM card. There will be no probate. And if there is, who cares? Everything is in her name. I will be cremated, and only my memory will live on. She will withdraw the funds before anyone knows I have bought the farm. Easy as pie.

All mandates cease on death. That is the legal position - anything ither than that is illegal.

Of course, the practical route is for a partner to gradually siphon off the money via the ATM (or preferably via internet banking). I have known situations where a wife has got greedy/stupid and, for whatever reason, the ATM card has been retained. Then she is totally buggered. A Will is a back up to whatever expedients you choose to put in place.
