@James ******

- do you do a full comparison with Wise or others at the point of transfer using the live rates because that's the only way to tell. Fees are high for Wise hence companies like Revolut top then but most of us have stayed loyal to Wise ONLY because it did show up as in international transfer thus avoiding hassle proving this with Immigration. If it's now going to be more difficult then we do need to look at competitive alternatives so what's the fees and do you make a proper comparison?

NOTE : Someone yesterday showed a Wise transfer using option to buy property and it was saying it would take about a week!

@Tim ********

- absolutely.

I think we all just get on with our life so it's easy to make these mistakes. It's a shame that we have to do the 90 day reporting at all really hopefully in time it will go. Not sure what the purpose of it is anyway tbh.

We do live much better lives here though so that's why we are here. In the UK I just existed that's all here I actually live. I feel sorry for those stuck there especially with the new totalitarian government and impending taxes coming...all the seriously rich are already planning their escape routes 🙄

@Len *****

- really you have never heard of Banksy?

I love his work...don't always agree with his political views most of the time yes but he's mostly to the left. But his work is amazing considering it's from a can lol.

I love the way he uses things in the street to create something amazing from his imagination. Probably the greatest of modern artists certainly inspiring 🙏🏼

@Len *****

- arrh interesting so you are an artist. Plenty of beautiful places to paint in Thailand. I will have a good look at your media later today.

Do you like Banksy? I Iove his work very political but always very clever. I thought the self destructive art piece was a masterpiece I laughed so much 🤣🤣🤣

@Len *****

- OK I will 55

@Brandon ***********

- arrh yes of course. I get so confused with it all sometimes I wonder if I'm losing my mind. The more you read the more I get confused 55.

So a re-stamp back in automatically updates the system so they know a new report is due 90 days from then...no need to go to the local office or you have to in 90 days time?

@Brandon ***********

- so we have 7 days report in person when returning even with a re-entry permit correct?

I haven't left yet but may be taking a holiday elsewhere over Christmas and New Year.

@Len *****

- you should block him...he's one of those 'know it all' type of idiots 🙄

@Tony *****

- exactly he's the guru 55 👍🏼

@Tony *****

- this is confusing but I am sure you are correct I think Tod Daniels has said this before now.

So if you pop out for a short visit elsewhere you still have to report in person even if you have a re-entry permit? I don't want to mess up so want to be sure about this. I think I've read going out re-sets everything.
