I was advised that if you spent a full 6 months in the UK during the tax year which  starts in April when you return to Thailand your pension remains at the new increased rate.  Less than 6 months your pension returns to the rate before the increase. Is that correct?

No. Permanent residents are still required to register for Thailand Pass and with appropriate insurance.

thanks for the reply 

I believe Thai Nationals are  no longer required to apply for Thailand pass to re-enter Thailand. Are ex pats with Permanent Residency status also allowed to re-enter Thailand without having to apply for a Thailand pass?

Can’t find any info either here or in U.K. as to when the vaccine likely to be approved in U.K. or why it is taking so long to approve.

Good. I have personal experience of immigration demanding similar bribes to extend visas of foreign workers under our employ. 
 

never understood this transferring system. Why don't they just sack them.

I question if all COVID-19 cases are reported. I see plenty of village folks in the rural areas  not practicing “social distancing”.  Oh, I forgot, it is only “farangs “ that spread the virus.????

Same old gramophone record pal. Give it a break or think up something original.  yawn. !

Bit like UK politics then.  Whats the problem?.  Don't you think you better off here than UK?

very easy. no need to talk. just do it. can be done as quick as it takes to issue the order. 

Do ex pats who have been granted  permanent residency have to submit TM30 forms.

The Thai exchange rate gives poor value to tourists, once the rich Indians have had their one visit they will move on to greener pastures, just like the Chinese. I don't know any Thai who has nice things to say about Indian people, they will feel unwelcome, so I don't expect any long term boom.

Bad comment....Totally unacceptable.!!!

So now have spoken to Immigration and PR holders don't need to renew their multiple entry visa if they don't intend to go overseas if current multiple entry visa has or about to expire. For example my multiple entry visa expired in November and I will renew it in 3 months time just before I go overseas in March. No point in renewing if not going overseas. Nothing has changed. Hope this clarifies everything. Just remember not to let your alien book expire.

What do you mean by endorsement. In the past as a permanent resident I only renew by multiple entry visa as and when necessary. Where on the immigration site does it say about this new rule. 

 

"...KBank president Predee Daochai said it met world-class security standards. Fee payments will be supported by KBank’s electronic payment system to accommodate cross-border transactions in more than 126 currencies..." 

 

"Payments can be made via including credit card, QR code and Internet banking. Payment via QR code will debut in China through WeChat Pay, AliPay and China Union Pay..."

 

They can't even run a website to process 90 day reports. They are going to have a website which is secure, can process 8 MILLION applications a year, speak many languages, and provide secure payment in three years?

 

How many of you would be happy to put your passport information AND your financial information on that site? Seriously, how many?

 

 

Comedy gold!

 

 

Who says the web site doesn’t work. Everybody I know says it works well.

Just making it harder and more complicated for people who actually follow the rules to be with their wife or legitimately want to retire here. 

If you follow the Immigration rules you have no worries.  It's the people who don't follow the rules that should worry and quite right too!

Read my post again. The top line says Meteorological office, as I am addressing the issuer of the statement first.. The closing line highlights that stupid predictions of this sort, not backed up with decent factual information is given to us by all branches of Govt. regularly. I stand by my post.

One day I will be surprised when somebody has something positive to say about the government. I wonder why we stay in Thailand at all. Better not to read the negative posts on tv and just enjoy life. ??

Agreed, the 2011 floods in the North were in September.

Do you think this spoilt little ferrel creature really cares what we think. No chance. Just hope I don't bump into him at Gordon Ramsey's as I  tend to become rather loud in disagreeable situations. 

Ha ha. 

Well the announcement last year I think if closing down all the dodgy massage parlours on Soi 33 and Soi 26 in Bangkok came to nothing. In fact they are more blatant than ever particular on Soi 26 which isn't even a recognised so called entertainment area.

So these guy's are a different research team from the ones that claimed the cure for Ebola virus?

And they have a little something to help resistance of H1N1.   Ahhhh LOS  the hub of everything...

 

But ok,  if it's true then great!!!  Then maybe 21million baht for more research for this instead of junket's too Hawaii for 38 people...!

Better to try and fail than not to try at all and whisevto say that they have failed.

I feel sorry for the less fortunate who are affected. Rich people who get their cars damaged? Not so much. Not at all really.

They're unique to Thailand on this particular vehicle. I do have some useful contacts who verified this. Wiring looms on modern cars are pretty complex and they are easily damaged. The battery is in the boot of this car. The car was on an incline and only the boot area was under water, just enough to cover the battery. That's when the fun started. 

I'm working right now, so enough comments from me.
