This - Jomtien is fine too if returning to same address. Chiang Mai you need to re-register every trip

It is valid for 5 years from date of issue - NOT first entry.

The guess was false documentation but nobody certain. The only way to get the note removed was by the Embassy who put it there.

@Mo *****

There is one proviso on that statement. If the rejecting embassy puts a note on your immigration file then other embassies will not deal with you. I have only heard of one case from an agent. Someone rejected in Europe did not tell the agent who applied for them locally. The European Embassy had put a note on the person's file. The agent could have checked before 2nd application if the person had been transparent. Very rare case though.

SuccessfullinMalaysia In the case of extensions the immigration offices are asking for TDAC printed out too.

I have not seen a visa revoked but applications rejected or cancelled if the applicant was found to not be in the country of application. It does seem to be very rare that anyone is found out though.

@John ********

Ahh OK. I do not think I have ever done a tax return in the UK. Always PAYE. Been non tax resident since 2002.

@John ********

So you are paying UK tax at source. If you do not tell HMRC you are NOT tax resident then will anything change? As for Thailand unless you remit vast amounts into a Thai account I doubt they will notice. There is a Thai-UK DTA. Have a read. It is quite short. You will not be double taxed.

@John ********

Yeah. Check with a tax advisor. When I worked outside UK I signed out with HMRC that I was no longer tax resident. Pal working offshore fell foul one year as spent too many nights in UK and ended up owing. I do not think you will have any issue at all with Thailand unless company is paying you direct into account here with no tax withheld anywhere.

@John ********

So you salary will be taxed in UK? If so if it is then remitted to Thailand it will be subjects to the Thai-UK Double Taxation Agreement. You will nkt be taxed twice. In some cases there can be a slight differential in rates but then you are really getting into the reeds. I would not be worrying about it to be honest. In fact Thailand already talking about rescinding the overseas earning rule brought in for 2014
