Living close to easy transport is important for city living. Condos are built close to the transport links - Hence busy zones - the closer they are the more expensive the land is, and thus the condos cost more. Its a trade off for convenience.

video walkthroughs of your home..? More over reach by the idiots that are immigration here. Is it to push you to use agents?

Interesting. This is the first I've heard of the concept of 'common law wife' in Thailand. Is it a thing?

also, try calling them and explain the situation - if a thai answers, then have your missus talk to them. +6623058333 They charge 2000+thb for 5 mins and an A4 piece of paper - I'm not sure why they remove more and more services when its fairly lucrative for them

At which DLT / immigration? Providing details and agent contact may give an option for the peeps struggling with a CoR in this thread.

Last October I got a cert of residence from the UK embassy. I called and explained that I have a vehicle - i need a drivers license (it had long expired during covid), but I wouldnt be able to get one from bkk immigration as I'm not staying 90 days each time. Basically they were my only option. So they issued one

Sounds like a terrible plan! Who wants 9 hours in a taxi after an international flight? Take a flight - Thai smile includes 20kgs

I remember seeing ads for a gogo that advertised rooms upstairs - rooms to stay in, like a guesthouse, but with, as you say, a jacuzzi, nice decor and a 'VIP' vibe... Can't recall the name though ????

Right. So you don't need to be resident in Jersey for 180 days.

before 'jumping down their throats', how about you find out (or tell us) what the issue was?

Not for their offshore / expat / international accounts that wouldnt make sense

Some UK banks have an offshore branch based in the Channel islands - I bank with HSBC expat in Jersey. The sterling account functions the same as a uk account, with sort code, direct debits etc. The entry requirements differ between banks, but this is another option. I also have an account with Nationwide, using a family uk address - not had any issues so far after 15years overseas.

I think by 'English' he means... English. St George is the patron saint of England.

So, the dealer ratted him out?

And they ignore it like this...... ????

Not in my experience. The visa start date began from the date of issue, not the according to the itinerary; in our case starting 2 months later.

I've done a few visit visas now, and I find it curious that you cant request a start date. The visa approval can take from 7 days up to 12 weeks - so the embassy advises Thais to apply nice and early, which then cuts into your trip time, and makes planning harder. Either allow a start date, or grant 6 months from date of entry. Seeme too easy ????‍♂️

they talking about extension of a UK visit visa..... ????

The difference is; in Thailand, and most of the rest of the world, mentally disturbed adolescents cannot walk into a gunshop and purchase mulitple automatic weapons and ammo, to then go on and slay a load of innocent kids.

My understanding is how you have explained it, but the OP makes a good point with what he read on the HMRC website - the 2nd paragraph is fairly concise - it doesnt specify between state pension or otherwise This is in the section solely talking about tax on pensions https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-pension/tax-when-you-live-abroad I'm not disputing what you say, but their own website makes it a little unclear.

Interesting. If someone doesnt believe in faires, fortunetellers, santa claus or god they are 'negative people'?

I'm pretty certain there are more poor supersitious people than rich

Relevance?

Definately spoilt; in 1 of the pics he's wearing a rolex submariner (15k usd) and in another a Patek nautilus (50k usd) Not many 19yo air force cadets have that kinda cash.

Yeah, ridiculous. Mind you, many people believe in god too Just goes to show...
