Ferry to Krabi, then Koh Lipe not sure you can fly to hat yai from Phuket

Dementia and a dyslexia

@Lynnette ******

correct, however if you fail to disclose that your are not resident it will paid and that will result in penalties

@John *******

the whole thing is a giant ponzi scheme which will hit the buffers as working population declines along with NI contributions, so either increase borrowing to subsidise,raise NI or raise retirement age which party will be left with that giant turd

They can track your movements easily - bioemetrics as you enter and leave the country…….similar to tax, back payments and penalties are severe for fraud….but many will try and probably claim the winter fuel allowance as well….😊

@Clive ********

that’s correct, I also plan to bring the 65k in using Uk income which includes state pension , this transfer will be visible to tax authorities. When I spoke to them (as I am already tax registered) they explained that when I submit my return, provided I can show evidence of tax paid in UK then this will be offset against any potential liability here. What was not clear is that UK allowances currently cover most of UK pension , so how will they treat that as UK tax paid may be lower than Thai tax due - they told me not to worry - standard Thai response 🤔😊

The first year you are free to come and go, and if you leave on the 360th day you get another year, after that you get the OA from local immig then you are required to get a re-entry before leaving

I will leave it to the moderators to clarify I had one for 6 years maybe it’s changed recently and re-entry permit is no longer required - expensive mistake if wrong…….

It’s permission to stay, had an O-A for 6 years - I had to get a re-entry permit each time I left the country or I would be screwed on return - perhaps one of the moderators can clarify before a cluster f**k happens

What’s a multiple visa ? Do you mean an OA visa with a multiple re-entry permit ?
