'Bought and paid for'. And that is for my Thai partner of 28 years, I had no intention of sticking the land on and aeroplane and flying the soil to the UK, it was always for my Thai partner. Obviously, financially, you and I, move in different circles. You rent a nice condo overlooking water? Your property in Pattaya with ' water views ' do you mean it's overlooking the public toilets? Well, I don't rent, never have, I have had properties I rented out. Everything in Thailand and the houses in the UK is paid for,' LOCK, STOCK AND BARREL.' Lastly, ' crossing a border ' I love getting out of Thailand once or three times a year, taking a break and enjoying other countries. You live in gorgeous Pattaya? Are you frightened that number 18 dancing, or the fat fifty-year-old bird you've been chasing, that told you she is a ' cashier ' is going to get another punter if you have to do a visa run, and be missing for four days?

Weird report , must be more to this.

I HAVE NEVER DONE A BORDER RUN. Why you laugh at your own jokes? You are a special kind of clown. I stated that to move from Retirement extensions to DTV and leave once for a few days every six months is a very simple task. I certainly wouldn't be doing the famous ' border run ' for skint members. Furthermore, I have four houses, bought and paid for in Thailand, I have a house in Siem Reap on long term rental, so it's absolutely no hardship. You seem to be under the misguided illusion that I put myself in a jam packed minibus doing border runs. So, you need to get out of your 5,000 baht rental room with your squat toilet and free Wi Fi and get out into the sunshine.

You mean BORDER??

No need to Somchai me. I can assure you my reading, writing and Thai skills after 28 years are far in excess of yours. Bye TROLL

TROLL Thread is DTV visas

I use my own 4 X 4 to get to the border. I park up in the military car park. Likewise, I then use prearranged transport in a 4 x 4 to Siem Reap, on my own., I pay $70 each way.

Certainly caught up with you

I pre-arranged. However, there were guys touting for taxi business when I arrived there.

or mental issues, have you been and had yourself checked out?

TROLL. I was going to go to Australia, they asked me if I had a criminal record! I said I didn't know we still needed one!

What I see on this board is people coming here in their later years who are just underfunded and unprepared for ripples and mishaps or changes in the system. In my view, having to use agents, and many here are, to get around the 800K a year method or 65K a month method means you are underfunded.

Stay a week in Vietnam or Cambodia. Life is about getting around.

Not or try not to be a rude man, But guys, You've got to read my polite answers to other posters. Another one, asking if I am only spending 180 days in Thailand. So, this for the last time is a DTV thread. Jaysus, I've explained multiple times. Not a tax thread.

No, Read the thread, I am not going over it all again. That question is asked and answered.

They don't put a Visa for DTV in your passport. You get an e visa through email, when the immigration looks at your printed out A4, which also contains your photo, you get a six-month stamp. After, I think you are in the computer as a 5 year DTV, but additional back up is to carry a printout for airports and borders of your 5 year E visa from the MFA

No, What I did is I have a retirement extension based on Non -O plus multi entry. I have a Cambodian Visa as well. I applied online for the DTV. It took three weeks and was granted in an E-visa via email. That kicks in when I decide to use it. So the DTV is granted and dormant until I utilize it.

I did say I went, and the local tax office were extremely relaxed and told me not to bother. So, they obviously are not getting the MEMO. I didn't understand your post in capitals, as I don't have permanent residency. I have a retirement extension based on a Non - O, I now also have a DTV. My intention, is not to renew my retirement extension or multi entry permit. On expiry, I will leave and re-enter on my DTV, which is now valid until January 2030.

Definitely right. Thanks for that, cheered me up.

That wasn't the point. The thread was about DTV and going to immigration to extend it at the immigration office, as opposed to leaving the country and the DTV days count starting afresh. Those guys could be stubborn and make a DTV extension in country difficult with requirements and documents. As usual these days, tax laws got mentioned. I pointed out already in my posts above. I am not repeating myself all over again. Some on this board are obsessed and turn every thread into a tax thread.

I've said on the board all I will have to say about tax. I honestly have no idea about these new tax rules and what will, and will not, be implemented. Furthermore, I have done my job, I have all my paperwork, I have all my incoming funds to Thailand in a hard backed file. I went to the tax office, they seem to know nothing. If I get a knock on the door, I have all the necessary evidence. I actually owe them bugger all. My worst outcome is I get accused of not filing documents for tax purposes, and they said I should have filed. In that scenario, I immediately, backed up by my spouse, show the amount of times I have tried to understand what is going on and been told my by local tax office........ Don't call us, we'll call you! If they have made an error or cock up at their end, I am damn sure in this land of comprises, we will come to an agreement.
