  1. Probably, probably, probably................................you should be an economist.
  2. "was" in technical recession for the end of 2023. January to March will likely show minor growth.
  3. It is relative to Thailand because the tax code situation ONLY affects people in countries where the pension is frozen....ie Thailand.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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....)
  7. 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.
  8. Indeed. I was replying to someone who uses Jomtien.
  9. Not their job to evidence the transfers, that is why the system was always an embassy letter. The monthly income figures are extrapolated from the main branch's file of 'international' transfers and printed out on a seperate letter of certification. Immigration like letters/certificates signed by other people.
  10. Any imposition of a points deduction for Forest (it is Nottingham Forest, not Notts Forest) and you are right. It is all about points and Forest need some wins. We have had six 2-3 defeats, most from winning positions. Personally, I think Luton will slip back and Palace may need another managerial change to stop their freefall.
  11. Nobody cares. It's not about you........or even you trying to justify you.
  12. As said above - Pattaya Klang branch (international desk on the right). The IO gave me that specimen and I went to K Bank on Beach Road, Jomtien (where I have an account). They said I could only get it at Pattaya Klang. Very simple and efficient when I got there. 200 Baht I think.
  13. Jomtien do not accept just bank statements showing the transfers from abroad....even accompanied by WISE pdfs. The IO in Jomtien gave me a specimen 'letter of certification'? and I had to go to Pattaya Klang branch of Kasikorn to arrange it. 200 Baht I think.
  14. It seems hard to imagine that in your time there they regularly had to deliver fresh water from Pattaya. Probably electric outages as well. Not many Russians though?
  15. What we think matters not one jot. It matters if a few more than 50% American voters think Trump is the man for the job.
  16. It must be a lot more embarrassing for the USA if Trump won.............
  17. They are not negotiating...................they are playing with you.
  18. Was there supposed to be a smiley emoticon at the end of that?
