Both ends. Just to add to the post from @sandyf WISE do not charge for UK domestic transfers either. So, GBP in from, say, HSBC - no charge; GBP from your WISE account to, say, HSBC - no charge.

Ha Ha. Who says marketing doesn't work! -
I didn't. Quite the opposite I hope.

Ah, so now you are a culinary expert! Lord preserve us Go Celtic. -
Those of us 60+ realised that a long time ago. Not clinging to anything, just taking advantage of market forces and the availability of product - which is probably half our ages. When you get there you will know.

Chefs where I eat...........................or at least they think they are. That said, the best fry up I ever had WAS at a transport cafe on the A1....... coincidentally on the way way to watch Liverpool hammer the bar codes in the 1974 FA Cup final. -

That shouldn't be necessary, for most palates, if the chef has done his/her job properly. I accept it could be different for those used to an old transport cafe on the A1. -

Each individual case is different. If you are prepared to be a tad deceitful (and you have been anyway) just call the IPC in Newcastle and tell them that you have decided to reside permanently in Thailand. Since retirement you have struggled with English winters and, having regularly visited Thailand, you have now decided that you are unlikely to return. A friend did exactly that and they just said "you do realise that you will no longer be entitled to the annual increase"..........that was it. -

That question is better directed at Immigration - although there is an accepted convention in the west that 'families' are not split up. @theoldgitmay have more insight on that. IMO if you look like a couple then you will not have a problem; they didn't ask if we had been together for 18 years - or whether I had just barfined the missus!

Brit claims being abducted, Pattaya raid uncovers drugs, guns

Oh, I don't know.......he had his 30 minutes of 'fame'. -
Thank you. That is how it should be. BUT Jomtien changed their requirements last year. I wonder if they have now had a change of heart and your visits fell between the dates when they enforced the 'current TM30 receipt' rule. I returned on 30th December and visited Immigration at the start of January to get a 'current TM30 receipt' and also get another reentry permit. At reception I should have just said that I wanted the reentry permit and see what they said. I probably made the mistake of mentioning the TM30 receipt first. The reason for asking for a new TM30 receipt was based on advice given to my resort manager who was told (by Jomtien Immigration) that he needed to submit a TM30 for returning residents - and then I had to take a print of that report to Immigration to get a new receipt. If Jomtien Immigration have now stopped that nonsense I will be very happy.
