I applied for birth certs 2 weeks ago at the thai embassy London. Daughters are 9 and 12. 2 forms to fill in. You book an appointment via email. Passport appointments are booked later online once you have the certs. I have all the info you need you want it. Homeschooling is okay for your daughter in Thailand. Many ways to do it online. There's a wealth of homeschooling guidance. Don't worry about the naysayers.

Hi. I hope to move to Rayong in the new year once I sell my house. My thai wife and I have been living in he uk for the last 16 yrs. We will be relocating with my 2 children and home schooling them. I'll be on a non o spouse visa. What branch did you use? Whst is the rayong immigration office like? I have been visiting rayong for the last 15 or so years but only for tourism.

thanks pal. I should be ok spreading over various places. Getting expert advice is always an option, I'll wait to nearer the time. Hopefully Rachel from accounts has not F'ed things up too much by then.

That sounds like a joke you'd hear at a bar 😉 but I know you can invest that way.

I wish I'd have bought more of that yellow stuff back in the day.

I'm asking about HMRC on larger investments. I'll pay my taxes but only if I need to. I will maintain a UK address. Looking at 1 year bonds if I'm able to. I invest in stocks and shares but that just a hobby that I'm not very good at.

Do you send from wise already converted into THB? Would this still show as an international transfer?
