  1. TAT have already said that will be added before the system live deadline, so fingers crossed they're true to their word.
  2. TDAC departure details now required before form can be completed and submitted. That's going to cause some issues.
  3. You're thinking of this one probably. https://aseannow.com/topic/608166-the-hit-and-run-restaurant-review-thread/
  4. Of a notice in Sainsbury's in the UK when the government there made a similar move on 6th April 2018.
  5. I think a year after posting that AventurasEnMadrid may have already travelled, but if you are referring to the recent service introduction by The Transport Co. which goes from DMK to the new bus station on Sukhumvit Road then the latest service departs at 17:30 so would not have been suitable. If there's another service please post details.
  6. It won't be. The DWP have no mechanism in place to take tax off the UK State Pension and it's always paid out in full even if it exceeds the Personal Allowance. If it does exceed the PA then your other pensions will be coded to recover the tax amount that would have been due on the State Pension.
  7. Still there for me after logging in and selecting my account using Firefox on a Win 11 laptop. Don't know if that's any help as you don't mention how you're using the system or with what.
  8. I suspect he means that if you omit departure information when first completing a TDAC (as discussed a few posts up) and then don't add it before your departure you may encounter problems at the immigration auto gate on exit. Personally I suspect they're not that smart but time will tell.
  9. Non EU (UK) carrier with the flight origin a non EU (UK) territory means EU(UK)261 does not apply.
  10. What did you get from this firm that you think would be acceptable to immigration as evidence should they ever ask for it? Given there is nowhere in the submittable tax forms to mention/offset UK tax paid, do you think the "BKK firm" might have just made things up to make you feel at ease and pocket a few baht of your cash?
  11. Going by FlorC's experience you might expect a few yellow emojis for this statement.
  12. Not my emojis, but perhaps from readers who think it's crazy to give your pets mineral water when they've probably been licking their own genitals and any other animals' butts when you weren't looking to keep their health tip top.
  13. When I was looking for the source of the OP I came across one link that mentioned a Supreme Court ruling (in Bangkok?) which might indicate it's country wide.
  14. Sorry, who is Mr. Simon and what's a spaltist? PS. I've edited the link as it didn't appear to be showing. Lots of other historical cases if you look for them.
  15. Not the first time. https://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-law-long-term-leases-unenforceable-again-62140.php#b4Cx7UwMzhdLkiDy.97
  16. You would be better to use one that was accurate. In the example shown the 90th day and therefore the one when a report would be due is the 28th of June. Earliest date would be 14th so they got that right even with the incorrect day 90, so that calculation is wrong too. Final day is Saturday 5th so the calculation is correct but as Immigration is closed at the weekend it should show Monday the 7th. Like a lot on the internet, garbage. 1 day in March 30 in April 31 in May 28 in June Total = 90.
  17. You already asked this a few days ago. https://aseannow.com/topic/1355942-sso-coverage-applicable-for-managingdirectors-of-owned-company/#comment-19687955
  18. Don't believe what a "tax pimp" puts on the internet in an attempt to separate the gullible from their money.
  19. The exchange rate is but the fees aren't so it is feasible that a Swift or similar transfer works out cheaper. This is usually (only?) found in USD trades as it's the most commonly traded currency and bank spreads are tight. At the moment the spread on USD is 0.88% (spread of 0.3 baht on a mid-market rate of 34.25). For GBP the equivalent is 2.03% (0.9 on 44.49). Wise fees includes a percentage of the amount being transferred so if that %age is higher than the %age bank spread at some point Wise will lose out. Where exactly depends on the fixed Wise fee and the costs of the Swift transfer plus receiving bank fees plus any intermediary fees. The poster you quoted sent in USD and likely fell into this situation as they were talking about total costs and not just the exchange rate. Another poster did the calculations a while back and (for him) Swift was better above approx $20,000 USD IIRC.
  20. Not that it affects your state pension transfers as explained already, but that's the selling rate - what they will sell you GBP for - you want to look at the buying rate which is what they'll buy your GBP for and give you THB in exchange. The current rate for that is 43.5 with the sell rate still the 44.4 you saw earlier.
  21. The video is embedeed at the top of the page, or follow the link in the "Step for Submit the Thailand Arrival Card" box.
  22. New payment system? Mentioned here a few months ago alongside JamJang, another payment system for the gullible. https://aseannow.com/topic/1341777-jamjang-app-to-pay-by-scan-without-thai-bank-account-–-tried-it/#findComment-19336943
  23. A Border Pass is used for those from neighbouring countries like Laos, Cambodia who can enter Thailand for a period without a passport. I expect that's what is referrred to here.
