Dipped below 800k for money in bank method
Scouse123 replied to DrJack54's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I agree, But I think it includes companies registered in Thailand and Pacific Cross is. Assessable income, well we are back on with the ongoing debate of is it or isn't it. I transer savings and some rents I get, but how do I prove savings and the UK government make agents deduct tax on rental income for HMRC when it comes in to them. -
Finnish Man Arrested for 10-Year Overstay in Thailand

That's what they meant. But you have to give Immigration the credit and not let the truth get in the way of a good story. -

No, I already allowed that. 60K personal allowance + 150k (0 -150K Non taxable) + 25k health insurance = 235K 780k - 235k= 545k taxable. -

Nope, They place them in immigration holding, which is not a nice place, and they stay there until they acquire the funds to buy their own ticket home. If they wait for Embassies, it's a very long time after all options such as family etc. have been exhausted. -
British Man Arrested for Sexual Assault of 6-Year-Old Thai Stepdaughter
Scouse123 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Makes for extremely sad reading, and so does constant references to him being British being banded about, as though pedophilia was the exclusive domain of British people, which it certainly is not. If British law enforcement has been in touch with the RTP, the evidence will be pretty solid, they don't leave things like this to chance or possible error. -

Scouse123 replied to DrJack54's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
As DrJack24 says, they lock it for three months after granting your extension, it is ridiculous really when they are saying they believe 800K is what somebody needs to look after themselves for a year. Then, they are blocking the full 800K for three months, and 400K permanently, as they say it mustn't dip below that at any time. Not same with a DTV visa, weird?... Yes, it is. Also, under the 65k a month method, that equates to 780K a year, with your single man's allowance under the new taxation system at 60K plus 150K, for a single man. You can claim 25K for health insurance. The rest being 545K, subject to differing levels of taxation. -

I will keep you informed as promised about how I get on early January with DTV application in Cambodia. -
No they don't, Anybody bypassing the immigration entry to any country is there illegally and should be removed. Absolutely no way is anybody entering by boat legal. Instead, we have smart ass lawyers in the UK who earn millions by exploiting the system and legal loopholes to keep these people in the UK.

Absolutely, As a self-employed businessman for many years, I really am in awe at the waste they allow and just kick the can of blame down the road for the next government. This is what happens when laymen and women get put in positions of power that they are not qualified to do. Shameful, the incredible waste that goes on in the UK.

DTV or retirement visa ?

Medical. I need a medical procedure every four months and this must be performed by an ENT specialist. This procedure must be done for life. -

DTV or retirement visa ?
Scouse123 replied to tgw's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I will let you know the outcome of both the January application and the re-entry if all goes smooth. I am really focussed on getting the application right. Likewise, I have just had a friend apply in the UK for DTV, they have asked him for a lot more information, including, Flight bookings, companies house records, salary records and proof he is a director. He differs from myself as he has applied for the DTV based on his company and his ability to work anywhere in the world, with a computer internet connection. Fortunately for him, he has all this information to hand. -
DTV or retirement visa ?
Scouse123 replied to tgw's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes, I thought that. But if I have the DTV, it would be better than risking the chance of my retirement extension having already expired, then being refused a DTV. -
DTV or retirement visa ?
Scouse123 replied to tgw's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
My idea was to keep the DTV delivered by email unused, and hold it until the expiry of my retirement extension. My understanding is it only comes into force from the date it is first used, when granted. So , if it is dated January 2025 until January 2030, I will just lose the six months, using retirement extension until July 2025. I have multiple re-entry permit. That way, if I am granted the DTV, it can just take over in July from retirement extension Non-Imm O. That is, if my thinking is correct. What I am hoping to avoid is a load of additional clauses or changes that the government may bring in to the DTV, if they feel it isn't being used in the spirit it was granted. I was basing it on this: -

Anyone know if Makro, Lotus, Big C accept contactless?

I agree, I think far too many excessively worrying and getting their knickers in a twist about scenarios that probably won't pan out. -

And a good choice! All these Thais with their little shops using the QR etc, which is all OK until big brother decides to check their actual income, against declared income, down the line. Then all these QR code payments etc that were so easy, won't have been the best decision any more.
