I’m about to start my retirement renewal process next month after the first year. I have a pension income of 65,000+ baht going into my Bangkok bank months also the required bond in the bank for last 2 months so I have the option of both methods. What I’m worried about now if I use the pension proof ? Will it be taxed at 30% because it could be deemed an income. Most of this amount was tax exempt in UK due to tax threshold

Who do you get to sign your Proof of Life document.

Can someone please help me? I am considering applying for a marriage visa. I've been married for 8 years or so. My UK state pension is 30,000 Baht per 28 days. As 28 divides into 365 I will get 13 payments. I am obviously short of the 400,000 B. by 10,000 B. How much money do I need in my savings acc. to make up the shortfall? Does it work like this?--Is it as simple as 10 grand in the bank?

From the expats in the Philippines. Someone posted here about resident visa in the Philippines to uprate their pension for Brits.

Does anyone know anything about HMRC tax status of retired UK people living in Thailand

What's the most efficient way to have a UK monthly pension paid into a Thai account? ( not a state pension)

I visited Jomtien Immigration to check for extension of retirement visa regulations on regular income. They said having international transfers (from UK) was not enough but I also need proof of the UK source pension income, investment income etc. Did I ask on a bad day or what is current experience on this? I am at a loss to know what paper I need to supply. Thanks for your help

Hi this is my first post here, but i do read the posts daily. My question is: When I last went to immigration on Jomtien to renew my marriage extension the immigration officer asked me whether I had a UK pension. I though that this was odd because as I understand it one only needs to bring 40K monthly into Thailand from abroad to qualify for the extension. Does it matter where the 40K comes from, so long as its outside Thailand? I transfer the money monthly from my personal UK account to my Thai bank account. It is not in the form of a pension.

Thanks in advance.

Seems that's the end of the 12 ME with a UK pension from London, just had this back.

Dear Sir/Madam,

For pensioner (aged 50 or over): A copy of pension statement if the applicant is a pensioner, or a copy of 1-month bank statement showing your income from a pension, or 3-month bank statement of at least £10,000.

From 15th June 2019, we can issue only single entry for non-immigrant and you have to submit the application online.

My pension is paid from the UK into my Kasikorn bank account but does not show up as a foreign transaction. Kasikorn advise me that to get proof of such I need a credit advice. If I want this to cover the last 12 months (to satisfy immigration) I must arrange it with the credit adviser in my local branch.

The process will take "around" 5 working days and cost 500 baht. I am not sure whether this is instead of or in addition to the 100 baht letter I have been getting every year up to now. Passport and bank book needed to get credit advice.

Wish me luck!
