The payment you have been told about is from Social Security. You can claim back 12,000 baht + they pay 350 baht per month for the first 5 years. You are only entitled to claim this if you have been paying into the social security fund for more than 12 months. Your employer would normally pay it directly out of your monthly salary.

Good luck!

Depending on your nationality they are correct. To extend your stay requires an income of a specified amount. Teachers are an exception and have a much lower requirement.[

Thank you!, i'm British.

I have a NoN B visa, am employed as a customer service manager, i have a work permit. When i got my salary this month, (new job) i was taxed on a salary of 50k. my salary to start is 40k. my company said they have to tax me on earning 50k because of my visa. if they didn't do that i would have to leave every 3 months to do a visa run. i have been working as a teacher the past 2 yrs, with work permit on a non b and was never told anything about this/and never did any visa runs..

is it right that having a non b visa for a company rather than a school is different?

does anyone know how the tax is calculated here?

on a previous salary of 35k, tax deducted was 1,800 baht

now salary of 40k, tax deducted 4,700 baht?

a massive difference......ur comments are appreciated

i have been living and working in thailand for the last 3 years. have had my salary paid into the bankevery month. i want to know if, as a foreigner, i can apply for a personal loan with a bank. my b/friend is thai, but doesn;t have a monthly salary paid into his bank. can we apply together?

What's the purpose of the loan?

to buy a jet ski.

Salary statements with a letter from your employer to prove the status of your job should help you get the loan. I don't think you should have a problem.

hi, this is my first time to all of this and i wasn't sure where to post.

i need help in searching for a lawyer who deals with criminal law. i am a farang lady with a thai boyfriend who needs a good lawyer. the problem is trying to find one that i can trust and isn't going to rip me off just because i'm 'farang'. i have been living in phuket for 2 years now but we are looking for a lawyer outside of phuket.

if anyone has any suggestions please let me know

thank u

I don't think being a beach boy has a lot to do with it. The embassy gives tourist visas to bg's or ex bg's. The UK embassy doesn't' really care what job your partner does. It is the proof of the relationship & assets which will probably prevent the visit visa in ap696's case.

As I said apj696, there are exceptions but I would suggest waiting a few more months & taking time to put as much documentation together as you can.

Thankyou for your comments. i realise that we have only been together for a very short time, however i know that the whole proceedure can take months which is why i am thinking about it now. i plan to do as much research as i possibly can and keep my fingers crossed!

thanks, i appreciate ur help.

hello everyone

i want to take my thai boyfriend to england for a holiday. i have been living in thailand for 2 years, teaching, and plan on staying for.....who knows how long.

i have been with my b/f for only 3 months, he's a beach boy. my parents have agreed to sponser him as they have already met him. i have heard so many horror stories about getting a visa for the uk, i haven't a clue where to start?

one of things i have heard is that we have to have paper proof of our relationship. we both have prepaid credit mobile phones, i have never emailed him as he lives 15 mins away from me. any suggestions?

if someone can give me some starter tips, i would be eternally grateful.

i have a work permit and visa valid till may 2006.

do i have to go to immigration every 90 days to show my face?
