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!

Just thinking out load again. I've been thinking about working the problem from the point of view would it be better to do a tax return, as proof that a particular year is confirmed as resolves with Thai RD. I'm not tax resident this year. but say I was tax resident in a couple of years time. Provided the tax credit for tax paid in the UK mainly against pensions, is accepted to offset Thai tax computation, rather than line items, I could potentially do a global Tax return and the UK tax would balance the Thai Tax. This would seem to be the case from £14000 (623000THB) TO £27000ish (1200000THB). There by obtaining a written recognition, that there is no tax due that year? If I had no recognition from Thai RD , when Thai Tax Resident say in 2026, , into Thailand later in 2028 if also Thai resident, it may be then against the allowances of that later year, rather than 2026, and may push it into a higher tax band? If no formal clearance from any particular previous year, it could build liability. As years move on it would become more complex, over 65 year allowance would kick-in but then another year or two, more pension and streams would also kick in, letting things be open to question later, could cost more later (even ignoring potential penalties). Or as I'm looking at it from a reverse angle, if you don't physically remit funds can you still resolve your Thai tax resident liability, for a particular tax year, in year (when zero or close to zero). But if you can't, would the example 2028 remitted funds possibly be deemed to be 2026 earnings coming in, in the first instance. ( very much theoretical) Just a hypothetical scenario as time moves on! (whilst hoping to hear some good experience reports for a variety of situations later). Also there is the potential that though I exceed 180 days in the previous Calendar year, but then may not be present in Thailand between 1st Jan to 31st March of the following year, when a potential tax filing may be due.

You could always keep a small bottle of tea oil handy as a first aid on a suspicious localised area. though tea oil can irritate the skin, don't want to use to much! don't know about dust mites. If the bedding is out in the midday sun it may assist in eradication.

2000 baht is the threshold that the will start to erode the balance with fees until closure if you are not using it for over a year (Thinking of one bank in particular). Have to add the fee for your active debit card on the account So perhaps 4 or 5000 may be safer. Better with a transaction in every 11 months to keep it active FCD can be a minimum of $1000, depending which bank you are with.

She will have her ID card for the flight, she can explain. (Same Surname? ) Mum standing by on LINE/ phone to explain if required? At time of check in. Never been asked for anything, flying domestically with the son when he was younger. Ask at BKK for him potentially / flying internationally his Grandfather, Just suggested that a copy of his birth cert showing same surname be carried.

A. So Are the source of funds created overseas before or after 1st Jan 2024? B. Were you / will you be Thai Tax Resident when you derived the funds. The Land Office tax is for all and I'd different from the issue of the tax on bring funds into Thailand.

I'm unable to provide any insight on current detail. I practiced doing the transfers before, but never got to the point of actually doing an extention!

Would it be easier to just go on the BTS Siam line to Bangkok Bank head office (Chong Nongsi north side walk west round the corner north not far on your right). Get them to look up the credit advices for the inbound transfers from overseas and give you a stamped, signed letter listing the last 12 ftom SSA? Best get there early at opening time.
