BC Farang I am 53 got no pensions as I am too young and coming to thailand to live with my brother won't be earning any income as I am on retire visa and the law is I cant work in thailand on a retire visa and if I do work and break visa terms I will get deported and sent back to the shit hole UK do you think I will allow that to happen NO - I won't. I have various hobbies I will do that will keep me occupied during my time and I will also learn the language at a school so my time will be taken up most days . No income means no tax , I only need food and fuel for my brothers car . Regarding my affairs in uk april 5th last day of tax year my UK shit business will close down and my ACCOUNTANTS will close my tax and vat status down as of my wishes due to me moving to thailand possibly in December , yeah I need a break a long break that why I coming to thailand to sai bai sai bai 555

@Mike ******

really why , I actually worked 67 hours with no sleep at all once, but there you go , my stupidness in having to give these greedy govements most of my money; time I paid expenses, drivers wages , national insurance etc, running costs , I was left with sometime negative so all the hard work for nothing, so don't tel me Its and over reaction. I know my business and I know the uk rip off system,, and all my work was holiday compnay oil compnay etc, and you can't hide it , it's not a cash business no more, so everything declared , and time you paid tax and vat you earn sod all. My brother told me not to get involved with idiots on Facebook when I go to thailand he said all the farangs are wankers, I starting to see what he means . What is it why people want to stick there nose in to other people issues and affairs, I have chartered accountants they are the ones that deal with my affairs , if people got questions. Then ask my accountant not me.

BC Farang I worked 32 years non stop in U.K. with my own business, . Paid rip off uk taxes and vat, lost relationships and lost my kids cos of it due to working 365 days a year 7 days a week, +sometimes 24 -7 . and I had enough of it I have been taxed on my earnings -savings, so I won't be paying any more tax, I paid 40 percent damm tax , and 20 percent vat . I paid my fare share. And what it's got to do with you anyway. You just sticking ya snout into other people business., you maybe a millionaire paying tax , but I am not . I cant pay wot I aint got . I have the 800k in baht required in bank for my visa, and that's all I need. And the visa fee per year . I live with my brother and there thai family on a self sufficient farm and that's it hope that satisfy your mind , and make sure you pay your taxes.

Gary Darby I'm 53 , I don't have To worry of any of that yet , I maybe dead in ten years, which nothing will apply to me , I am living with my brother and his wife on there own land . I will eat food grown on farm and fish caught in the lakes they own.

David Earl so your telling me , when I am 67 and recieved my pension, I got pay thai tax on it . So I paid tax and vat all my working life, and then I got pay thai tax on my state pension . I won't receive enough pension to be taxed on cos the state pension is shit. Fuck no wonder people hang themselves today. Even then they be knocking on my damm coffin for more tax .

BC Farang bit difficult if you dont earn money .

I used an agent for my first extension, I didn't want any hassle and believe me it worked , no questions where My money come from in bank , yeah It costs money for an agent but they never asked a damm question, just took a photo , I jumped all the ques, and they are all friendly and lovely and touching me in friendly way, even got me a coffee . Yeah I know it's just cos of the money , one of the questions is draw a map of your location where you are staying , which I know for a fact immigration will check this location and make sure your there at the time of checking and then maybe 3 to 5 days later you get your extension after they checking the map Is correct, well they never bothered cos 2.5 hours later I had my year extension already. Money talks in thailand I am afraid. Next year I will do it on my own ( no agent ) , cos I now know how it all works.

So I done tm30 , where I am living at my brothers house , got one year extension, so if I choose to go and visit other parts of thailand during my retirment here , do I have to do TM30 at every hotel I stay ???? Or is it up to the hotel to do it ??

Kellee Tyler no thai baht

Kellee Tyler yes I was thankful to the agent lawyer. As it saved me so much hassle and time . I think if I keep eating chicken arse , I should be ok to pay for the lawyer again lol
