Just wondering if any one has any up to date info on this company, any ideas what the charges are and what services they offer.

would appreciate pm if any one has any actual experience about them rather than just anecdotal stories

has anyone any  used these people , from their advertising it sounds as if they can get things done , if at a price ,

Bert M , could you please pm who you use , thanks

Good thread

, this is a major reason for me relocating here.

I also am retired and on dividends/savings for income

I have tried a  couple of lawyers to obtain a TIN and both looked very bemused whilst explaining there is no point in bothering.

My reason for not trying the revenue office directly is I travel within LOS for most of the winter and spend 4/5 Months back in Europe , so although I am over 183 day most years , I don;t have a permanent address.

Would be interested if anyone else in this position ,that could offer any insights

topt , hi, had a look at Hargreaves and they only take  customers based in UK

Tried A J Bell and they were a bit of a pain , asking for various documents /forms which I duly sent , then at the last moment they said everything had to be notarised , I felt they were a bit amateurish so did not pursue it

as for the expatsipp the charges are about .9% as far as I can see , do you think that  is excessive ?

again as far as I can tell the funds  will be held by the two fund house , which then offer a range of risk profiles , this limitatation puts me off a bit ,

but the ease of everything else seems attractive.

any advice welcome

Very cruel thread this , one of the few things I miss is a propper pie , any one any ideas  where they can be found in Bangkok ?

There is still an internet cafe on soi 22 , near the Suk end , opposite holiday inn ,

Hi wordchild , have you any reccomendations for HK banks , I am in SG at the moment but would welcome any info on an alternative options

I thought that Singapore had quite a high financial requierment , several mil $  ?

I used to use them , but left about 18 Months ago , as they were a bit over eager implementing the CRS requirements for me.

There platform is pretty good and covers most markets , generally I would recommend them as long as they take Thai based customers .

Depending on the size of your portfolio there are  banks in Singapore that hold foreign equities .

Have been trying to find a legit company for moving pensions into , and have come accross this one.

All seems very straight foreward , but  can't find any reviews  on truspilot ,

Just wondering if anyone has used them here ,

Bit of an update ,

went into the branch at emquarter , 3 visits over two hours each time , much tooing and frowing with various members having a play on the phone .

Eventually got a staff member who realised how awkward the position was (no otp banking etc)

they got on to the "back office people" who after another hour sat waiting got the service back on

The best explanation I could get was that there is a changeover from 2g AND a change of company to some separate branch of DTAC I think

so 3 days , no service  , several visits ,  but if I had been away from Thailand it would have been pretty drastic

Phone is a samsung , just a year old , 

Adam , there is a whole raft of agents for visa, I don't thin TV allow links or advertising on threads , I did quite abit orf research last year and the price is between 25 to 35 k ,

All depends how you are fixed for funds I suspect , both having the 800k on deposit for the length of time , and are you prepared to pay the extra to an agent

Would appreciate any help from the tech savvys on here.

Been a DTAC customer for ten years plus ,   got a message a few weeks ago to get my SIM card replaced , went in , and got it done , now , tonight the service seems to have been cut off ,

Is it a general outage , or , did the replacement not work , or did the operative at DTAC just not do the job correctly

Bert M, can I ask which agent ,

Understand if you want to PM in case putting names on here not allowed

also a branch of CB  at the interchange tower on Asok

any other options around sukhumvit for a real authentic pie , with propper mushy peas would be fantastic !!

FWIW I lived in Greece for ten years and we had to give a tax number for all commercial purchases, seems like TL is heading down that way

Yep  will be over 180 days this year

It seems it makes things a lot simpler when completing the forms if you can provide a Thai TIN ,

but appears a bit more difficult obtaining one in some areas of the country.

My problem is I spend a lot of time in Serviced apartments , so have no permanent residence as such , would expect if \I applied to the tax office they would make that an issue

Any one got any alternative suggestions

Everyone seems to say that unless you remit your dividends in the same year as they were earned you wont be liable for Thai tax

apologies , just reread the post , UK tax ,

any suggestions/reccomendations for a good basic accountant who can confirm whats needed and perhaps put in some sort of record , so there are no comebacks in later years, ?

just a thought

Any one know of any agents that will do the run for you to save hanging about at CW ?

or is it necessary to go in person

can you please let me know where this one stop shop is , TIA

thanks for the reply much appreciated , O will need to do something as I will not be able to do 90 day reports for quite a while ,
