All income arising in the UK is taxed after taking account of your personal allowance.

Is that regardless of where you reside ?

I am looking for some advice

When I move to Thailand , all year, and my tax it taken from source.

Even if my pension is paid directly into my Thai bank , tax is still taken from source .

I was wondering, can I get a change of tax code or not pay tax at all ?

If so how ?

Thanks in advance

im still communicating with and now apparently he has divorced her can anyone translate this form,?  Her first name is Panumas. So I can tell if its under her name
 
Also picture of broken iphone I asked her to hold it up on Skype.   Im pretty sure someone said if I can post pictures of the broken iphone they will pay me the 30k.    I will take cash or bank transfer thanks               Btw the way her English isn't good, she wouldn't pass the English test they give for permanent entry to Australia, but along with my thai and some phone apps it was good enough to get by.
 

Why tell us ??????

You got your advice and your ignoring it ??????

Give us a break and stop putting these sad requests in the thread , it's fir advice , which you ignore , so it's pointless

One thing Adams never mentions , when he first joined the IRA. As a young member he was shot by loyalists almost died

His life was saved by a soldier. .

That soldier, many years later, lost his legs in a car bomb in England by the IRA

I feel terrible I met and had lunch with Gerry Adams about 15 years ago what a wonderful man a truth freedom fighter

Freedom fighter????????

You mean TERRORIST!!!!

Looks like we have an IRA sympathiser here........ Child murderers.... Should never have been released, should have ALL been locked up for life and Addams should have been the first.

I will never forgive Tony Blair for apologising to those people.

Disgusting..... I hope he dies in the Maze.

Sorry I just like freedom fighters

One persons freedom fighter is another persons terrorist

Depends on your views

Nelson Mandela was a freedom fighter / terrorist

Im starting to thing I want out big time now and im starting to lean on the side of scam again, im still confused ask #$%* but today she asked me to give him 500,000 baht or he wont divorce.    I think tonight im going to tell her that I love her but this is to much for me and if it was a scam bad luck if its not a scam you should crawl back to your husband and beg for forgiveness.  Or that she'll have to do the divorce on her own and we can make contact when it all over if were still interested.          Also... that you shouldn't put your self out there on a dating website if your still attached to your ex in anyway.
 
 Im starting to feel a right fool   At least I will get out relatively unscathed although I will now join the ranks of the cynical...you got room for one more?

At least you know where you stand now. No one in their right mind would send 500,000 baht (or any amount for that matter) to someone they've only briefly known, who they won't be marrying for a long time (if at all) and therefore whether or not she gets divorced is currently inconsequential.

Only an idiot would send that amount of money to anyone without knowing them or being told a story on line

Regardless of the circumstances , even sending it to see if if it's a scam or not ???????

Just plain stupid

I agree with in you  ve741 in some ways but I cant do that to some I care about.    She  has virtually ruined her life for me....... believe me I will be keeping a close eye on both.  They both don't know I know there face book accounts and I will be checking other things.    If I catch anything out, I will be gone in a flash.     But for now I cant not as Iam a honourable man or as some TV members would say "stupid"
 
 Yea he is goofy looking but he has cash.  Me im good looking but don't have so much cash :P    (awaiting a tv member to say and brains too)   boom tish beat ya too it.

You have no idea. None at all

You are giving her money , per month, on Aus cost of living , not Thailand , not Thai people , my mother in law lives on a few 1000 Bht a month , your gf family could live on that money ,per month and more . They will be having a hell of a time , thanks to you

You have no idea , no idea at all of Thailand or the culture or the people.

You ask advice from people who know , or have more idea than you , which is why you have asked , yet ignore their advice

How do you know ? Only what she says , you can't confirm she has ruined her life as again it's only what she says . All second hand , you cannot know its true .

Yes I would say stupid , confirm first , it's all around money , sorry it's all money , you cannot confirm what she says .

I agree there's a lot of others out there, had a wander around ekamai tonight and damn... Hot girls everywhere and most probably kid free.

Anyway that's irrelevant if you've made your decision, great if you support her to get up and running but she should be keen to get her own job. There's no need for you to be sending her 20k every month, her living costs will be nowhere close. I know many Thai girls who don't earn that and still manage to support themselves. Speaking English she will easily be able to find a job working in a restaurant with a guaranteed wage including service charge of around 12k per month plus if it's a reasonable restaurant she will get a few more thousand in tips. Enough to live on by far without you sending her money.

Your money would be better saved for visiting her and supporting any future visa application.

 
If you take no other advice from anybody here, take this advice above. Tell her you're working your butt off to get to be with her and if she cares it will be enough.
 
Come to thailand asap. Do not send cash beyond very small amounts (bank transfers of a couple of thousand baht will help your visa app anyway).
 
TheRascal has articulated the best advice you can have and probably more than your foolish gullibility deserves. I have been through the doubt of red flags and things I would not have got good responses to on here either and happily married after 6years of awesomeness.
 
With kids involved it will be 10 times tougher. She may have to accept she won't see them again (and you should ask yourself if that is what you want from a woman). You also must be prepared to change your circumstances to be with her. All these things make me doubt your resolve as much as hers at this point, but caring does not mean being an idiot and I do think you're in over your head.
 
Good luck. This may drag and still end badly so I hope you found those stones I warned you about before.
 
 

He's already given her a lot of money , even after advice not to .

She's asking for a lot of money and you hardly know her , if you knew her you would not be finding all this out . It's an on line relationship .

It's a scam , if you met someone in Auz after a while would you give her that much money ???! No

She's in Thailand , you can't verify anything she says . Jez, surprised she is not from Nigeria , photos mean nothing , I can use photos

Do us all a favour , give her the bloody money , and leave this link, as you are not even listening to any advice

Take mine , as it's what you want to hear

She's ace, she's genuine , she loves you and she's telling the truth , give her all she wants as it will end in hearts and tweeting birds

This is better than daytime television!

 
 
ANYTHING is better than day time television!!
 
This becomes more unbelievable my the minute.  She didn't tell him she was living with her 'husband' until after he arrived, but she could get out to screw him for two weeks, and now she can't get out!!!
 
Come on tekNique, this has all gone too far, and I believe you're now continuing to post so that you won't cop the wrath of the moderator/s for being a troll.
 
It is all too unbelievable.

 You got to remember as far as I had know she was living separate to husband and was separated.   She told me she had a room I only found out she still living with ex once I got to Thailand.    but on his his facebook profile under relationship it says "its complicated" so they were kinda separate but still in same house.
 
 In the 2 odd months we were communicate before I went to see her I never knew the chit would hit the fan like this or I would of never got involved.

As far as you know. , remember that
As far as you know

You know nothing , only what you get from her . Photos ? They can be from a week a month ago , Jesus Man. Think with your head not your bits

Anyways why are you asking advice anymore ????????

Your ignoring all advice, have not responded to people's answers (or barely) you just want to vent.

You have more money than sense.

 I sent her money to move into an apartment 20k baht, not 30k US dollars for divorce.   Ill be asking to see photo of lease agreement.         If I never see her or the 20k baht again not the end of the world and one could say its a payment for services rendered

Do you have money to burn ? The advice here mainly says . Be careful and don't send a large amount of money .

They could send you a copy of a lease agreement , a copy , easily faked , and it will be in Thai .

Either listen to the advise here , which you requested , or do what you are doing and finish the link.
Personally. , I think you are being scammed and now you have sent that amount , they will not let go . You cannot guarantee anything she says is true, as you are not there and no third party to confirm anything

At Least contact a lawyer ( found by yourself or someone on this site) to do the work . Spend your money there , not to her .

It sounds like a scam to me

If she says she being help hostage , then the family don't want the divorce. So why ask for the money for the divorce

The information is coming from her , if they are in it together , that would explain the " hacking" of her e mail

If she gets the money , she gets divorced and then looses the house .

You have only met , how can you trust her , and family's in Thailand are very tight , you need them on your side . If you piss them off you will not be left alone

I know I seem pessimistic. But it's another point of view

Good luck either way

Thanks for the replays , just to clarify , have got good legal advise , the land is leased to me for 30 years and the house is in my name .

I have a pension that covers my visa but just wanted to know if it's calculated at sourest or has to be in Thailand. I am clear now. Thanks for all

Good luck mate

I am sorry to hear about your situation.

I do not know much about the laws in Laos, so will not try to tell you whats the law.

I do have experience in divorce and in these situations, She is obviously blackmailing you, and manipulating you, this is typical in this situation, world wide, mean (generally ) go to the easiest option and cave in, do not. Look at the long term, your children's future, do you want them with her ?? and seeing that type of behaviour?

You seem calm and in control , keep doing that.

I would cal the police , get document ion as to your injuries, this way its recorded even if they do nothing. For all you know the police may be aware of what she is like, after all its her village and she has lived there for a long time, I doubt that this is the first time.

Don't give her the money, give her some, what you thing is enough, as once you give her the money , you are setting a precedence , then she will ask for more, and when she wants, keep control, and you have control of the money. it may be the ply thing you may be in control of at the moment. It may not be much, but it will give you a feeling of Some, control.

I agree with another member, tell her if she hits you again, you will not speak to her or contact her.

You could start the divorce proceedings. This will show you are in control, and she will see her money and income go, and call her bluff. Remember she is blackmailing you, for money and your children, once you give in, like all blackmailers, they will want and keep wanting more.

I know , God I know it will not be easy, but think go the long run, a year or more ahead, not this week or this month, as it will not get resolved, think longer, its the only way to focus.

I hope I have helped, from someone who has sen there, granted in a different country but the principles are the same.

Good luck mate

Thanks for your replays , they are helpful , and I did get legal advice , I am covered and understand the land ownership thing for falangs , or should I say the lack of it.
