it doesn’t actually say that, but might be inferred by the word ‘savings’. Mine was in an investment account that was accessible - it sounds like his is also, as he is talking about transferring it to be sure. It’s why I said it might depend on the type of investment account he has. I would do the same thing as him and not take any chances!

Anonymous participant Mine wasn’t in my bank account or a monthly statement. I just showed the balance in my investment account at the time of application. I applied in London
yes you are. Stop burying your head in the sand. If you are here more than 180 days you are considered a tax resident and have to file a return - whether you are actually liable for any tax then depends on many factors.
you are entitled to your opinion but she is just trying to find a way to make it work in her situation - nothing wrong with that. I would take any bet you don't, or won't pay your taxes in Thailand if you stay long enough. Saying someone is ruining it for everyone else just makes you sound like an entitled bully, who thinks they are better than everyone else
