Ok thanks for clarifying very confusing. 

 

I take it the single entry has little requirements and the multi entry is going to require the 400k THB? Any idea if USA bank will cover or does it have to to be Thai?

have a look on this thread look at page 5 onwards, someone asked on page 4 about non thai banks - 

only a non immigrant 'O''A visa will allow a 1 year stay without leaving Thailand, only available in home country

a single entry non immigrant 'O' visa will give a 90 day entry. a multi entry will be valid for 1 yaer but still only gives a 90 day entry each time you enter within that year, each entry can be extended for 60 days to visit Thai wife

Perfectly normal, your entry stamp allowed you to stay

up until the expiry of your previous extension, note dates

match.

 

Your new extension allows you to stay until its expiry in

Feb 2025. Should you leave the country at any time your

entry stamp on return will show permitted to stay until

Feb 2025.

 

Note: Whenever I return always double check after 

Immigration that the correct expiry stamp is there.

 

only if entry is made using a re-entry permit

Vaguely recall that Rayong at one point required a witness for extensions based on marriage. 

Someone dealing with that office will advise 

on Rayong's yearly marriage extension visit, they always want to speak to our neighbour/witness

Neither would take longer than it took you to have a cup of coffee and a toilet break.

so 16 minutes, that would charge an ev for another 400km

Why have you left it so late? you can do up to 9 months in advance, had you applied in January you would have back by now probably, two trips to Bangkok a bit of a pain from the south I admit

yoy can do it as early as you want no set time limit,

the 10 year validity starts for issue date, no time added as it was un the past

I will get a UK State pension of 140 quid a week in 8 years.

I'll probably die before my wife of 23 years.

Is there anything I could be doing to enable her to get my pension if I don't reach 67, or for her to continue to get it if I die after 67 but before her?

 

UK state pension is not transferable

why will you only get 140 a week, not enough NI years, if so buy some more years

It's always the foreigners fault....even if it wasn't the tourists fault, in Thailand it's ALWAYS the foreigners fault.

The logic is, if the tourist was there, the accident would have never occurred....TIT!

what a crock of sh*t, view to take, completely wrong but your hating Thailand view.

the insurance normally sorts it out,

Not exactly, not only non sanctionable, but is disqualifying, meaning other sanctionable benefit being received maybe adjusted, not the pension itself.

Not I should think has ever been used, but time expired too

 

Years ago, poss. 12,DWP took 2 OAP to county court(Barrow in Furness) one to attempt to affix a frozen pension on them,DWP never turned up to hearing that they themselves instigated.

 Lost the link to it, the other one was in Bristol county court, same result

 

Local paper in BiF now defunct in which was reported

 

 

 

 

 

"Some benefits are disqualifying but not sanctionable (Column B) and others are both disqualifying and sanctionable (Column C).

Accordingly, an offence may be committed against a disqualifying benefit but the sanction would be imposed on a different but sanctionable benefit.

Most benefits are disqualifying, meaning that fraud against them would trigger the loss of benefit sanction to all sanctionable benefits the claimant is receiving.

Some benefits are disqualifying but not sanctionable. The reason for this tends to be the reason why the benefit is paid – for example if paid to meet the extra costs of disability or retirement pension. The Department sees these benefits as falling in categories of extra need, for the benefit of others, or protecting claimants that might be especially vulnerable to hardship."

So who pays all  the hospital bills will it be the Tourists? Why should insurance companies have to pay unless it is the bus companies?

that's the purpose of insurance, 

why the bus company, was it to blame for the 'accident'

It was granted on Aug 23, 2023 and must be used by Feb 18 2024 but there is no expiration date on the eVisa...

do a border bounce as close to 18th Feb as you can, then do a 30 day extension on this new entry, 

KUL is good for same day turn around, but worth a few days if you current permission of stay expires before the 18th Feb.  all foreign travelers entering Malaysia are required to complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card at https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main . This is an online pre-arrival form that must be submitted within three days prior to arrival in Malaysia, there are no visa charges i believe.

But as I said, I have no history of filing tax returns for the past 14 years, but the money is in accounts, and has moved from one account to another in those years.

 

So if I transfer money who's gonna provide me with such a document? I feel this whole thing may turn in to a can full of worms

 

if you do not pay tax or have any UK income, what do you want to show, that you paid no tax and have no income?

Where in the world do you pay tax on your income in the year you earn it?

 

Tax returns for 2024 are everywhere filed in 2025

 

By March 2024 you can't even be in the country this year for 180 days yet

in the UK, its called PAYE if you only have pension income, that how you pay ( through a tax coding) any income tax due

thank you for your reply...

 

rest of comments, as usual, why even waste your time... do you think having thousands of snarky useless comments to become a paid mod here one day ?

 

make your gf buy...no she won't... if it goes pear shape... why do you think I ask about a legal registered lease or usufruct , not so dumb to pay a house and not a thing on paper, or better, on the chanote itself...

 

 

some attitude, its an open forum if you want professional legally correct answers, then ask a professional
