@Par *****
I’m from the UK if I look down on people from neighbouring countries e.g France, Germany, Europe etc doesn’t make me racist.

Hating someone for their skin colour does though.

@Jonathan *******
agree. Using a whitening product or a getting a tan isn’t being racist. A few comments going adrift here.

It looks fine and probably won’t have a problem. I’ve been fine with worse.

But! If you have time to get a new one then always get a new one.

It says Employment contract or employment certificate, so I would guess so. Or if you are self employed evidence of your work/portfolio/contracts etc. as stated.

agree. Can live in Thailand very comfortably just on the interest alone.

@Susan ***
Yeah I know, I am. That was my point, responding to people who were saying you need to be in the UK for 6 months or more.

A quick Google search should give you your answer.

I’m inclined to agree. For me it’s the UK. I’m still on the electoral roll, I bank in the UK. Have bills I pay in the UK. But I don’t spend at least 6 months in the UK.

If people are saying I need to be in the UK for 6 months to be a tax resident then where is my tax residency as I travel pretty much permanently? non of which are really places for at least 6 months 🤷‍♂️
