@Phil *******

why do you think that the UK isn’t included? The UK was part of the original visa free countries and is part of the 53 mentioned surely. Those 53 should go from thirty days ( Which the UK currently enjoys) to sixty days. At least that’s my interpretation.

@San****

, you were lucky!

I regularly send far more than 50k of Thai baht, from the UK, using Wise to my account with the Bangkok Bank.

@Craig ********

so tax exempt in the UK. Becomes taxable here in Thailand as no tax was due or levied on the funds remitted?

@Jim *******

how about remiting savings or house sale proceeds?

@Jim *******

if a person retires here on a UK state pension which attracts no tax as it’s under the minimum threshold will remittance be taxed here in Thailand. If that person has savings accrued over a number of years and remitted from those savings will they be taxed. If I sell my house and make a profit on it but it isn’t taxed in the UK do I pay tax when I import those funds?

@Jim *******

no, but the blogger wasn’t touting just gaining advice. There needs to be clarification before people “head for the hills”!

There are many confusing responses to the question of the tax concerns. If there is an absolute black and white authority on the issue can someone please post it. I watched this video yesterday and it didn’t alleviate any of my concerns.

are so you were the couple in the bank that created that huge queue. 😆 😂 😂

The U.K. based insurers normally have a moratorium and cover pre existing conditions after a period. You have to ask to have it removed. In Thailand I don’t think any offer this but get it before your 70 otherwise self insure.
