I think it depends where the income is coming from and your intentions of living abroad and being am expat or your UK ties. For example I am a remote worker on the DTV get my income from a UK company and paid in the UK. I consider my home in the Uk and have my family home as my base. But I am staying outside of the UK for longer than 180days. I might spend most of that in thailand but I will travel to other countries too so makes sense to keep myself as a uk tax resident. I also went travelling for 10months in 2022-23 and spoke with HMRC since for tax related stuff, noone asked anything or said Id done anything wrong 😊

from what I could make of reading it the DTA is when you are still classed as a UK Tax resident, however once you've been out of the UK more than 180days you are no longer a UK Tax resident 🙈 so then you become a tax resident in the country you are residing...currently you also become a thai tax resident after being here 180days. But its not so straight forward as that and what i have read is most people dont bother letting either govs know and stay paying tax in the UK

My rate is the same 7bht pr unit but it is set by the condo development not my landlord.

I have a 1bed condo and have similiar usage to you i.e. aircon some days but mainly at night, tv, laptop phone chargeing etc. My monthly total is usually around 1.6k bht

Proof of address can be your bank statement (within the last 3 months) and driving license. They expect these fhings are up to date and reflect your current registered address so will accept that that is the case.

Didnt get asked a single question on entry. Said Hi, handed over passport and printed visa, scanned fingerprints, smiled and stamped 😊

🤞🤞 yes! I'm sure that will help! ...might be worth putting a statement to say should they need further specific information not included in the business portfolio please specify. Good luck 🤞

Your company registration on a government website maybe? In the UK its Companies house not sure if you have something similiar in US.

Then maybe make a template business portfolio of all company details, how long you have been operating, how many clients, average income etc etc and some further examples of work with the invoices. You can use Ai/chatgpt for template maybe?

Think of the information you would show off if you were selling your business. And too much info isn't a thing they will sift through what they dont want to see 👍 hope that helps. They want to see its a successful currently running business that belongs to you, so definitely show where it is registered in your name too if you have this. 👌
