So if my Bangkok Bank account (that I maintain with 800K for visa extension) has no incoming transactions for 2024 then I have nothing to declare ?

You talk as though you've.never filed a tax return. You have to declare what those funds are, you can say what you want. But if they don't believe you or decide to do a routine audit, you have to be able to prove what you said is true.

How could the Thai taxman get access to your bank details in your home country ?

I would quite happily declare that my funds are savings/inheritance but that would be it.

If HSBC gave my details to anyone sure they would be in breach of even basic banking regs.

It sounds like the hotels that ask for your passport, then flick through hoping to find you are on overstay.

If they do find someone like this, straight on the phone to report and claim a finders fee.

It's just another way that Immigration use to get other people to do their jobs.

Most Immigration Offices want the bank letter on the day of application or the day before.

Jomtien definitely do.

From the picture in the news article, it looks like the cheese department is run by Jagota and most likely the meat department as well then, which means way overpriced.

 

They run the same at big C extra, and to be honest I have never seen a customer at the cheese counter there

The meat counter in Big C Pattaya Klang, especially beef, is way overpriced.

I don't have one but from others I think that you need to create a GBP account within Wise.  After you do a test deposit and maybe verify your identity you will be given a new UK sort code and account number to allow payments like this.

Yes I have a Wise account, have been transferring with them for a few years now.

So is it the same sort code etc for Wise that I use when sending funds from my UK bank ?

This could lead to the UK person deciding to move permanently to Thailand and get married.

Trouble will come when the UK state pension is due -- The pension will never be increased after the first payment.

My state pension went to Wise UK on Friday and transferred to BKK Bank on Monday 18th December as normal.

How do you set this up with Wise ?

Is it the same bank details as when sending a transfer through them ?

Thanks for the clear report.

 

Thought Jomitien had stopped with the 90 day check (report back)?

In any event you can skip it. 

You can ? Mine is due on Xmas Day

if you do not renew your passport before the extension, I believe you will get the extension to the expiry date of the passport, and that will be your new annual renewal date.

Correct The new extension will end on the passport expiry date.

After obtaining the extension, apply for a new passport and then get the stamp/s transferred.

Taking my daughter to school, it's a normal working day.

Has anyone found the IPA in Pattaya ?

That will be a heck of an increase for many Thais. Thank you PM (not).

Stop wasting tax payers money on mega projects and help the millions of folk that voted you in.

And if/when they get the 10K handout it cannot be spent on utility bills

Still haven't found the IPA anywhere in Pattaya

Good point.   Making up for lost profits during Covid ?

They made up for that in 2 days at the Pattaya fireworks. 7/11 couldn't sell drinks fast enough

First report?

Not for me. I went today and had to fill out the TM47 and supply passport copies.

Been doing the 90 day report for 20 years now.

Strange thing is that when you get your passport back they still staple in the slip giving the next reporting date, along with the bar code scan

where in Pattaya sold Dunkel cans?

I found some in Big C Sukhumvit

The proposal also includes the responsibility of these establishments to arrange transportation services for such patrons.

So would the establishment also pay for such transport, having decided that you should not be driving ?

Even if you're not the driver, so passengers can get home as well

Breathalyzers cost money, it"LL never happen.

 

They need to be calibrated every few uses also.

 

Conservative think tank stupidity. 

 

 

 

 

During covid some bars charged you 100 baht for a covid test just to allow you into the bar.

Will this prove another opportunity for An*tin to provide "official" breathalysers ??
