no it’s not a rumour. I have been working to get my work permit with my company and part of this was a consultation with Ernst Young about Thailand tax requirements. I was informed that as of January I will have to report any transfers from uk to Thailand as well as details of any property that I have in the uk.

However uk have a reciprocal tax agreement with Thailand so I will either pay tax in uk or Thailand but not both.

I recently transferred 3 million baht from my uk bank account to my Thai bank account via swift and it cost me £20. I am with nationwide bank. The exchange rate was favourable

All done logged on with my computer and setup my account.

For info: there are 2 accounts you can login with.

Homeowner account and visitor account. In visitor account I had to provide my passport and the house document. On my wife’s account she had to provide her Thai id and house document.

After I created my account and uploaded the documents I just had to put the address where I am staying.

Thanks. My wife’s account is now set up it took a couple of hours for the email with password to arrive. My email on the other hand does not contain the verify email button, most likely a problem with Apple phone I will logon to a computer and try.

You’re welcome I have all 3 apps and whilst XE is a little less on the exchanges it is by far the easiest to use. I have had issues with both MoneyGram and wise not accepting the transfer. Technical issues.

I use XE I pay by card and the recipient can collect cash with id

Thanks for all the advice on here.

My company would never allow me to work if there was any doubt about the legality.

They could easily meet the requirements if they chose to but it’s always profits before people.

I just received contradictory information from Siam legal.

I can work remotely in a marriage visa or elite visa as long as I am only dealing with my Swiss clients and I am still on a uk contract and still paid into a uk bank account

@Kool ******

thank you for your reply.

Looks like I won’t be working for my company in Thailand. No worries I’ll just take my pension and say goodbye to the company

Sounds like I am being given the bums rush.

Just for reference the company can more than meet any financial requirements they have employees globally.

I can apply for a work permit in the non o marriage visa I just wanted to know if I had to wait for the extension.

My company have agreed that they want me to remain with them and they will offer me employment based on the fact that I have a non o marriage visa not using the non b visa which takes into consideration the quota of 4 - 1
