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.

Did you read the thread?

Lots of Wise delays reported recently in other threads. Are you sending from North America?

Duh - how did I miss that? Any ideas whether the NT Thunder 12 month SIM will return? The guy I got a couple from has now run out but do you know of any other suppliers? https://www.lazada.co.th//products/i2482654262-s21388785759.html

I came across what I think is the same one when browsing earlier on, albeit 30 baht more expensive than in your link. The way I read it (or Google reads it for me) is 3,000 minutes any network. https://www.lazada.co.th//products/i5229476935-s22203522191.html

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

Link is to an article about cars. 😕

Figures are in GBP but this table indicates otherwise. https://www.almondfinancial.co.uk/pension-breakeven-index-how-does-the-uk-state-pension-compare-to-the-rest-of-europe/ Greece in Southern Europe and Finland in the North are the only ones outside the Eastern bloc.

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.

I mainly agree, but some offices do the 90 day report when you get an extension, and this poster specifically says that his 90 day report was done when he went to pick up his extension.

If your extension runs until April 5th 2025 you must have renewed it either on or before April 5th this year which is ~ 118 days ago.

It must all be a hoax - the 60 day thing and the removal of the limits. The UK has just updated their travel to Thailand advice and it now contains this:

Easy to find a ticket that price if you fancy a night out in Hawaii this weekend.

It was described in The Thaiger as temporary when it was at the sign-off stage (although I can't vouch for their accuracy). https://thethaiger.com/news/national/tourists-from-93-countries-can-now-come-to-thailand-visa-free

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

Pre-DTV days but this was discussed regarding other visa costs when it was first announced. https://aseannow.com/topic/1320861-new-visa-fees-beginning-on-19th-march-2024/

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.

No. You can probably get it from the supplier's website, or if you currently have it on a disc then you could transfer it to USB using your old AOI.

USB stick or direct download from supplier's site.

The new one's storage is shown in the bottom line of the table you posted as 256GB and SSD (Solid State Drive). The 16GB is memory capacity.
