I have quite a few bitcoins that i bought as an investment. My wife is a thai national and has a bank account etc. in thailand.

A few thai based companies now exist that let you cash out bitcoins upto 10 at a time.The payment can be made to various outlets- a thai bank account being one of them.

My question is... is there a limit on the amount of thai baht one can receive in a bank account from a tax registered thai based company before one has to pay tax?

Regards

Not too sure, but I would start with the fairly new BIG C complex, just out of the main CBD.

thanks ,i will gladly pass on this info, and report back. by the way in the meantime anyone with any other ideas?

hi all,

my wife arrived here on a settlement visa last august. we have a lituk test booked at our local centre in sheffield in may. is this considered too soon to take the test? is there a minimum length of stay in uk required in order for her to take the test ie. she cannot take the test if she has been in the uk for less than 12 months?? all opinions welcome.jim

text her your address

we had settlement visa and my wife (travelling alone) never encountered the problems of smilingjim.she got ask who she was meeting at the airport? etc.....the basics, in a friendly manner by the immigration official(manchester airport). a fiance visa could encounter more in the line of probing questions, nothing to worry about for your missus scotty.

hiya scotty,

the banks need proof in the form of a doctors letter (which can take an age to recieve by post due to registration times at the surgery) or a utility bill, i found that adding her name on a water bill was quicker. by asking them for your last bill, they will add her name on that (takes about a week), this will give her addiquate i.d for an account.

scotty, check your private messages.i hope its of some help,jim

well done matey, i just knew you'd get it.congrats my friend all the best to you and your wife .

we handed ours in monday, called up thursday to say we can pick it up. collected friday because it was too late in the day thursday. we put friday as our travel date. all looks rosey for ya.

no, and believe it or not i was bricking it more than you.....because of not having an interview. you've done your best. and believe me there is no one in this forum i would like to see recieve a settlement visa than your wife. everyone is behind you!!

same timescale as my wifes, scotty and she got the settlement visa.

placing a settlement visa in your wifes passport ,good news is that your overdraft issue isnt a problem. good luck matey.jim

hi is it possible for myself (uk resident) and my wife (thai national on a uk settlement visa) to open a joint bank/savings account in the uk? we both have uk current accounts at the same bank in our own names and both work, thanks in advance.jim

hi i am wanting to know if any of the major uk supermarkets stock a large variety of thai ingredients ie pappaya (for salad) sticky rice, tamarind etc. the chinese supermarkets in our region are quite a distance away from us.your thoughts and views will be much appreciated.jim

there is a section on the form "travel date to uk". if you hand it in asap then you wont be waiting as long in uk for her to arrive. a week is a bloody long time here in blighty waiting for her . good luck matey

scotty , tell them the date you want the visa by is 5 days after you hand inthe application. ie. if you hand it in on monday tell them the date of travel is on the friday, regards.jim

hiya mark ,we applied monday the 16th july and my wife recieved the call friday 20th , just telling her that her passport was ready to be picked up. the date on the application form was 20th july we asked it to be ready for.jim

My wife has just been granted a settlement visa for the uk. first time visa application (of any kind) and no interview,we went through a pattaya based agency. i cannot speak about the actual presentation of the documents handed to the embassy as i was in the uk but i would like to give a few pointers which i thought maybe should be shared with everyone. i dumped the agency with a load of documents aquired just from reading this forum..... you can never have enough!!

My wife is a receptionist we're both late 20s,we have been married since may ,known each other since november 06, 3 more visits since november ,i have a £20000 a year income, factory worker and live at my mums, £6000 savings , no credit card debt (at the time of application) and at least £300 in my current account for the last 6 months. the agency said that "AN OVERDRAWN ACCOUNT IS OF NO USE WHATSOEVER". and of the photos provided "NO FOOTBALL SHIRTS AND NO PHOTOS IN THE BAR" also photos of yourself with the family of your wife in SMART ATTIRE and you and your wife in NICE RESTAURAUNT AND/OR SCENIC LOCATION go down very well with the embassy.

please take from this what you will.j

will medical cover be needed for such an occurance if my wife gave birth in nhs hospital?
