If you caught him that's a good first step. Show him a pot, a fire and a recipe such as chicken cordon bleu, chicken a la king or roast chicken recipe. He will soon get the hint and shut up.

''I am living mostly on saving which I believe will be seen as income when coming into Thailand.'' No that is not income. You may just have to explain it if they ask. The only income may be some interest accrued and there were requirements when it had to be transferred out and even then it will be below the marginal limit when one starts to pay tax.

Why not install the app one time from Google play store., effect a transfer and uninstall the app. Choose transfer to your bank account, input the name and account number, the money will be transferred. You can choose once off transfer [account details are not saved on Lazada]. You could also try through chat [that cleo thing] and then get a live rep and they will need you to send you bank details. Lazada will then transfer your money to the designated account.

Using Thailand address.

Barclays.

Imagine my surprise. Last night arrived home to find two bank statements with account balances now at zero and final bank statements showing accounts closed. No prior correspondence before that they were going to close my accounts. Have to contact them Monday to see where my money is now and how to get it back.

The cat is not impressed.

Must be disappointing to break the 4 days of sobriety.

I don't think that owning a house is reported. It will be reported when there is buying or selling of the house and any financial transaction in and out of a bank account or if one has to report in their home country any immovable assets held outside their home countries. This is dystopian levels of govt control.

Ah the current govt and leadership who lobbied for NATO and the UN for the change of regime and who have let everything fall into disarray.

NATO, the ICC and UN should be paying reparations and upgrading the dams and infrastructure and restoring the flood management systems they destroyed due to their military adventures in Libya all those years ago.

No, they will not tax you 35% Banks are not the income tax dept. The bank may report the transfer to the treasury/amlo and Thai tax people (CRS) who will share the financial info with your home country tax office.

Does one not feel shame or embarrassment posting something like this.

Social media has caused this upheaval, there is no stopping it now. People from the world over have information and many are headed to where life is better, how they can game the systems, how they can earn money and the infrastructure and management is better than the places from whence these people are arriving.

Says a lot about supervising your subcontractor and installations. The world over, artisans need supervision, inspection and correcting.

Exactly, it is income tax and is dealt with by tax authorities not banks.

Why would anyone want to.. The same trying to sell diluted foreign gold here and see what happens.

Good to see that taxation is now a topic for the "Thailand Visa and Immigration Forums"

Taxes dont discriminate on citizenship or nationality. It is residence based as in most countries.

Usually the Thai ID is the TIN for Thais. I have this first hand from the Thai tax office in our area. For foreigners it is usually a tax number obtained and issued from the tax office. Pink ID number is maybe a tax number issued as a pink ID number.

''If I bring over 5-10 million baht to buy a property, will the Thai Bank 'withhold' 30% as potential due tax?'' The thai bank will not tax it, why would they. Taxes are paid on income and taxes are managed by tax offices. For such a large amount the bank may ask questions and report it to the tax office. After that it is up to you and the tax office to prove that the income is savings and if the taxes have been paid if it was required.

Yes, but I guess a kind of letter could be obtained from the UK authorities to state something or if they do not at least the communication could be shown as proof.

It would depend if there was a law or policy excluding elite visa holders from Thai tax otherwise everyone will be in the same boat based on tax residence. I suppose the complication of different Thai residencies and sources of income transferred into Thailand by foreigners will come to light by the Thailand govt and tax authorities who will study and work to find a solution.
