I did mine online using the Jakarta embassy with statements in my uk bank without problems. Good luck 🤞

@John *******

ditto both the thanks to the forums and that I did the CoR/bank accounts today as well 🎉

@Roberto ********

read my reply properly and you will see I confessed to messing up the maths for your situation. Know nothing about Australian Super funds but 11+% guaranteed every year is pretty impressive. My last statement about what works for me is correct in my circumstances

@Roberto ********

nothing to do with the quantity of money simply the math which I appear to have got wrong in a senior moment!! For me having 800k interest 0 is better than 65k monthly.

@Roberto ********

if you put the 800k in Thailand not the 65k monthly then that 65k can be added into your investment pot which would roughly halve your 92k claim. I know nothing about about Australia Super Funds but it is relevant to all other investment scenarios as far as I am aware

If you are referring to tax residency I understand it is from January to January. It refers to days not nights so if you come one day and leave the next it counts as two.

@John ******

it was pdf. Scanning 18 pages in apple notes app created >100mb pdf. Got it down to 24 but no further. Tried it from camera photos and printing to pdf was still huge. These dedicated scanners are quick and efficient with file sizes

* For the UK there is no mention of proving tax residency elsewhere. *

The UK rules are quite clear ( that if you pass the SRT as non-resident then you only pay tax on certain income earned in the UK. If you become tax resident in a country that taxes global income then the DTAs may come into play. As it stands now I understand Thailand does not tax worldwide income if not remitted to the Kingdom so DTAs don’t come into play (your UK income is taxed in the UK, Thai income and remittances in Thailand and anything else is potentially tax free).

Personally I’ve only come across one situation where I would have had to prove tax residency elsewhere - Vietnam requires proof of tax residency elsewhere if you have a lease over 183 days in Vietnam in a year but spend less than 183 days in country otherwise they can tax your worldwide income
