Just want to know if any expats from the UK use Wise and if they do, do they have trouble with the money coming instantly or do they usually have to wait for a few hours or even the next day?

I'm currently prepping to apply for the DTV visa - I'm a self employed stock market trader (UK based).

I have two other smalle sole trader businesses as well - unsure of whether to submit information for all 3 or just the trading (main one).

Anyone else applied as a trader? any challenges or issues or advice?

specific advice on what evidence is requested ... such as websites, linked in profiles, trading logs, business cards, etc... appreciated.

Many thanks - Ben

Do you need to show that you’ve had 500K in your account for 3 months before applying for a DTV visa? I’m from the UK. Will my business account suffice?

Anyone purchased a condo as an uk expat?

Looking at the DTV Visa for me and my family and property renting or buying in Thailand? Weighing up the pros/cons to both renting/buying.

We won't be able to work in Thailand on that visa, our income will be from renting our property out in the uk.

EDIT....THANKYOU SO MUCH for all your comments it means alot.

Were so ready to leave the uk but just want to do it as best as we can for us and our children.

Keep your eyes peeled for more questions from me soon 😊

Is it possible to come into the country for 60 days and then go across the border for a week and then come back into Thailand for another 60 days on holiday visa? Thanks in advance. I'm from the UK.

Hi guys, I wonder if anyone can give me some advice. Is there anyone on here that has moved to Thailand from the U.K at all? Looking for some guidance on this matter if anyone can help. How difficult is this to achieve? The do’s and don’t’s as it were.

Hi guys from the UK. I've just completed the TRV application. On the declaration page my name is backwards ie surname first, should this cause me any problems if I accept?
