How much do you need to retire comfortably in Thailand by age?

Neil ********

Depends where you live and the life style you want. Her 1600 pounds is 2000 dollars and for a single person that is fair. I pay for 2, rent an apartment, run a truck and a scooter, live in BKK, support the family and travel. We do that on 3000 dollars a month plus the odd bigger spend.

How can I manage my UK bank account while living in Thailand and receive verification codes?

Neil ********

I keep my UK accounts live and transfer. Use wise as already mentioned as the middle man and then transfer to Thai bank account.

Keeping money in a bank account is not very effective so just prove the monthly cash flow.

Do I have to pay tax in Thailand if I've already paid tax in the UK on the same income?

Neil ********

No there is a back to back agreement with the UK. If you stay over 179 days then you will probably have to do a tax return. If it is money sent to your wife I doubt any issues as it’s not income.

Do you need to pay 20,000 THB for insurance when opening a bank account in Thailand?

Neil ********

No.

It’s a scam employed by the banks to get you to buy a service. It’s not related to securing a bank account.
