  1. Need to include unfreezing UK State Pensions to ensure UK expats not excluded just as the UK has done post Brexit with 27 EU nations. This is relevant to all free trade agreements!
  2. Won't avoid tax as if tax resident IE 180days+ the new rules cover all financial transactions both in Thailand and elsewhere. Financial institutions have to declare internationally including Thailand. That said I'm not sure Thailands revenue dept can cope with so many expats. Only K bank has sent forms. Can't see all the others doing same. Like other countries income tax depends on deduction at source or self declaration and with tax credits available for the 57 dual tax agreements little increased revenue will be generated
  3. Wise will DHL your card to you but it's expensive 40+gbp
  4. Don't bother! Eva Air turfed me out of my on line reserved aisle seat when I boarded in favour of a supposedly sick passenger who hadn't bothered to pre-book theirs. Won't be travelling Eva Air again!
  5. If you use a bank loan then they will deal with the land office and protect their and your position. Thai lawyers take no responsibility for their advice. Agents add no value to the process.
  6. Still works for me-too express VPN
  7. My problem is not managing to get facial recognition to work. I blink slowly, smile slowly and turn my head to the left slowly but that never works and I have to call CS to get my account unlocked
  8. Even with an agent it's come back tomorrow or even next week!
  9. At my last retirement extension at Jomtien I presented my P60 HMRC tax declarations to show the origin of my pensions. This time they kept them wheras before they returned them. Not sure why but they contain a summary of tax deducted in the UK???
  10. Difficult to apply for an Ed Visa extension in Thailand. Immigration (Jomtien) require seismic expansion and extraordinary level of proof of tenants residency. Copy of rental contract and Landlords housebook for rental apparently not enough any more. They want housebook for landlords own residency plus reduced to A4 full colour copies of land registery for rental and landlords residency despite City Hall only issuing housebooks upon presentation of land office title deeds. Apparently Immigration don't trust City Halls certification. (Mind you Jomtiens paperwork demands for a simple retirement extension have also undergone a seismic expansion)
  11. Won't use Eva again after they bounced me from a pre-booked aisle seat to a window seat
  12. A Trump and a BJ. Couldn't describe them better! Certainly deserve each other!
  13. Never had any problems with Wise for 10+ yrs. I use Natwest in the UK via Wise to Bangkok Bank in Thailand. Have done 2 transfers since 29 May both received the next working day
  14. Reform has been set up to satisfy tories who are left of the conservatives so is about as far right as you can get despite the wokery displayed in this article! Farage set the party up specifically to cater for those bigots who felt let down by the Tory party!
