If UK pensions? Government / Military pensions only taxable in the UK under the UK Thai DTA (unless you have Thai Nationality) check they are on the list https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm343000 https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm343040 State NI and Private pensions are not in the DTA, but if the private pension is taxed already in the UK under PAYE probably not much of an issue.

Change effective 1st Jan 2024. If less than cumulative 180Days same as before, not tax resident, in respect to overseas income. If over 179 Days in Thailand Pre2024 savings brought to Thailand from legit source no problem, keep your records though. Overseas Income etc when less than 180 days in TH, ok Income anywhere 2024 onwards, when you are tax resident in TH, when you remit to Thailand any time 2024 or later may be taxed. Lots of DTA, whether assessable catagory etc etc. and detail to consider....

Last year I just did a Hotel Booking, as they suggested, the first few days would suffice. Agoda booking. (I've always had a return ticket. But often thought, if you have enough points an airline award ticket could be useful for one way, and just refert the points and booking later...

Will new DWP power to scan Bank accounts affect UK State pensioners and bank accounts of anyone linked to you, what ever that turns out to mean? (Civil servant and minister not on the same page apparently.) First 20 seconds and from time 5:20 may be of particular interest, to potential and current state pensioners perhaps...

Don't think it would matter for moving 400k thb, (will you be waiting till after 6th July to stay non tax resident this calendar year..) I think if you move regular monthly amounts, could anticipate lots of niggling little complications. (Not sure what IOs may think, nor where they recieve their financial training )

If there is no gain so I can't see anything assessable. (Only reason would to be to match the loss against a gain, don't know if that's even relavant in the Thai tax code)

Sounds good, £1000 + for SE non-O, so £10k in UK bank ideal for application. The 400k needs to be in the Thai Bank 2 months before the extension application. The have modified the e-visa for the TR so don't know if the non-O bit has changed as 9 months since I did one...... Best getting the visa soon as roumors of a bit of a price increase maybe 19 Mar. (Did she give you and email noting she is aware of, invites your visit. Copy of marraige cert, copy of ID or Thai passport. Though I don't know if the supporting docs fields are still the same)

By omission it does appear to be the the case though, and as it would likely my full time in Thailand, later, is likely to be between 170days to 270 days in a calendar year. I may tend to keep the 170 day in Th years and remittances in blacked out room, stealth mode.... Don't want to be sniffed by RD!

I'm just on the phone just now so haven't looked back for the link to the RD page PDF, noted on the other .... from 2024 Thread. "The Norwegian question" which suggested a Global Filing, but with a remittance taxation, think it was about page 222 on that thread. I keep having to have a look back to see that the Tax return filing is linked to remittances somehow, as distinct from "Tax filing criteria." Totally isolated from;- Taxed on remitted assessable income. (after allowances. Then I calm down again

Thailand is by default Remittance Basis, you don't have to claim that status. But do we see any possible Thai RD parallels for 2024 onwards, within this UK Tax Forum Q & A Exchange? 🤐 ...... Q_1 . I am a UK resident but non-domciled. I do not have UK income. I have foreign income which I have not remitted to UK. In such case, do I need to file a tax return? I read somewhere that I don't need to.. A_1. You will need to complete a Self Assessment Tax return (SA100), in order to claim the 'remittance basis'. You will also need to complte SA109, boxes 28 to 40, to declare the unremitted income. ( 🤯 ) Q_2 . Separate question. If I remit the money to and for use in UK, will I only be taxed for the income or gain arose from that particular tax year disregarded any income or gain arose in previous tax years which I did not remit any fund to UK? A_2 Any unremitted income from a previous year, that is remitted to the UK in a later year, will be subject to tax in that later year. ..... https://community.hmrc.gov.uk/customerforums/sa/4ec30d4c-3b25-ee11-a81c-000d3a8751e3 It does not scope the remittance , if non-resident later though, and then resident again scenario. Found a few UK forums with conflicting views maybe yes, maybe no!

For a Tax resident of Thailand who derives foreign sourced assessable income from 1st January 2024 onward, such foreign source assessable income is brought into Thailand either in the 2024 year or a subsequent year. Appears to be the general jist of POR 162 /2566. So if I were Tax Res in Thailand 2024 and non-tax Res 2025 and remitting the 24 assessable stuff in 2025, even if not tax resident then, you may have to have a think about that, as it has been theoretically tagged as Thai Tax Assessable if remitted later. Probability & practicality = up to you. Would hope folks would not to be waving the 24 docs later, with assumption they are immune from possible attention when Tax resident again, at some future event. But hopefully there won't be an Oh-dear report with some bear testing it at a future event.

Yeah it does that some times. Does not like texture in backgrounds I've found. Does not like any shadow. We use a old slightly off white / light cream bedsheet ironed and placed over a door as a background. The son just takes my dads photo on an I phone and slightly crops it to approx. h x width ratio of a passport photo I always keep a pic that works for the next application, so you can populate everything and then go back and get the recent photo re-uploaded if it does not get the ok first attempt. . we've had about a 15% of might not work messages I would guess. Most recent e-visa was approved in under 48hrs!

It's a bit of hit or miss I have an old photo that always comes up acceptable, and loaded that whilst I found the more recent 4 month old photo and went back and substituted it didn't like it cropped another copy of same very slightly and it was fine. File size is below the 3MB Maximum?

As long as it wasn't earned or derived in 2024 when you were a Thai Tax resident, you perhaps would not present proof of that..... Your 2025 earnings or pension etc should be no problem bringing it in.

Will be a big shock to a family that has booked a Flight resulting in a 32 day visit, because the flight was a bit cheaper, or it better fitted with other destinations plans. But if people keep buying the visas, or even there is no change to numbers visiting, albeit keeping just under 30 days, they won't care. They may just say they are a premium destination, ( like a brand name on a generic white T shirt).

The Multi Non-O (from London) is the only visa I've used other than a SE Tourist visa. It went away June 2019, with the e-visa, came back after COVID, and now is no longer on the system. SE Tourist or SE non-O appears the only options remaining compared with the original plan. Hardly Ideal.

Looks like x6 at least, SE Tourist is £30, and SE non-O is £60 from London, going to £400+ perhaps? Luckily Dad just got his next TR SE approved. The next trip after that may be more for the Visa, than the taxes on the award flights By the time I wake up in the UK tomorrow they, may have spilled the beans by then ..... The Elite to Privilege rises may have started the trend.

But they would not initiate the Wai to the staff, or someone obviously junior.

I think that is best having separate accounts for your everyday, and other accounts for conversations with Authorities. I was not aware of any need to show every transaction. I agree with your sentiment of not wanting to give someone your entire irrelevant to subject in hand, details. Though in the UK I'm trying to arrange the UK end to have two silo accounts that could potentially be involved in a future tax discussion. Keeping most daily UK transactions separate, even just from the point of view of less pages to look at. I thought it was just either regular transfers in or balance that they wanted to confirm, to demonstrate they meet the appropriate threshold....(?)

I am perhaps sometimes unsure of the the other person being of senior years and / or their relative rank or status, so initiate a Wai infrequently, unless quite sure. I always try to acknowledge, but this often does not come naturally as a reflex.

The state pension is number full years, divided by 35 (but a minimum of 10 years to get anything) Then there is the change in 2016 to the new state pension. If you had been contracted out even more complicated. They tell me I will need to have a total of 46 years NI to get the full new state pension!. So all sorts of speculation how it is 140. I dint think his wife will get any of the state pension, was it not second / additional state pension that could be inherited? Private pensions should have the wife nominated under the pension scheme, and provide proof of her age perhaps. Of course the trustees have discretion, but normally 99% just follow the pensioners wishes. But they would give it to the wife and kids, rather than a Mae noi of two weeks. Most private scheme rules recognise partners outside marraige now.

Suppose I will have to keep scans of the e ticket, boarding pass and the frequent flyer activity log! I'm just tidying the 'days where' spreadsheet and files on the PC, ( will backtrack to2018 at least.

Makes the whole retirement situation quite unattractive, apply for a visa for Thailand, Then it's a tribal area system once within Thailand. The inspiration for the TM30 ended decades ago did it not, but it blows on and of for when enforced and how enforced.

Probably, Except for the bit where she moves it to your Thai account. Unless the work earnings are from when you are not tax resident in Thailand.

After all the discussion on the subject, I would say am no longer worried in any way, just have to be more meticulous with record keeping and end of year balances and backing it all up to a cloud I could access whilst in Thailand in future, if then required. Also to de-mingle income types, in the UK, and to minimise transaction entries at the fishmonger to condense the relevant statements. All my tax in the UK is deducted automatically and has been arranged in the UK to be that way!
