Wise Transfer change problem

I don't know how you get your money to Wise, but it's been mentioned before that pushing it rather than Wise pulling it may get you back to where you were before. -

Wise Transfer change problem

Lots of Wise delays reported recently in other threads. Are you sending from North America? -
Yes, and without looking again I think one of the pages shows where they fall below the subsistence level. I don't know about other countries, but the UK for example has pension credits for those getting below the regular state pension so bringing them into line with it, and the UK is oft cited as having one of the lowest pensions around. That also then qualifies them for many more potential benefits. I think we're getting (well) away from the MRT discount being discontinued so I'll leave it at that.

Here's averages from 3 years ago which should be more representative and shows a similar pattern, and bear in mind they'll have increased somewhat since then. There's always going to be outliers well above and below average but I don't think it's as dismal as you make out. https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/05/31/pensions-in-europe-which-countries-are-best-and-worst-for-retirement

Thai Tax on UK pensions
treetops replied to Humpy's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
One thing not taken into account which may affect things is that many UK pensioners using pension drawdown will be taking part of their monthly income from the tax free allowance of 25%. This will reduce the UK income tax they pay and depending on the amount taken like this may or may not push them into the position where they will owe tax to Thailand. -

Is there a way to block specific sub-forums?
treetops replied to ChrisP24's topic in Forum Support Desk
A bit laborious to set up but seems to work. You're actually opting in to what you want, not opting out of what you don't want. Create a custom activity stream using "More", "Activity", "My Activity Streams" then "Create New Stream". Select your preferences on this page, give it a name and save it. The choice for "Following" doesn't seem to suit but that will be fixed next. Go back in to this new stream and under "Following" change it to "Content posted in areas I follow" which wasn't an option when creating a new stream. Save changes. Go into the sub-forums you want to view and follow them, selecting if you want notified etc each time. Select your new stream and you'll see only the new stuff in only the forums you've chosen to follow. Here's the heading of the one I've just done. They're not laid out well (IMO) doing this but gets you what you want I think. -
The MFA spokesman in this interview emphasises that the IOs at the border will still have the discretion to say no if they think you're abusing the system (living in Thailand on the "wrong" visa). No change there then. https://www.pattayamail.com/latestnews/news/the-60-days-visa-exempt-and-destination-thailand-visa-empower-immigration-officers-466938

Legal Strategies to Reduce Thai Tax
treetops replied to Mike Lister's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
It's not quite that simple. You need to read the DTA, in particular for this issue the Fiscal Domicile article, and see how you fit in.
