he won’t help you.

@Jeff ******

as I said, no point guessing how things will turn out, it just causes unnecessary confusion and anxiety for many ex pats. As you say, you have a ROUGH idea of what it would mean to you, but obviously not 100% sure. I think we’ve all got some idea on how it will impact us as individuals, we’re just waiting for confirmation of the finer details to enable us to plan for future tax liabilities if any. I for one don’t want to have a ROUGH idea how it will effect me, I want to be 100% sure of my tax liabilities if any. As per my original comment, one of my biggest concerns at the moment is how the Thai tax office will treat us UK citizens who don’t receive their P60s until April. Your Guess as to how they will implement this is just that, a GUESS. For me there are far too many people making GUESSES as how the new system will or will not be implemented.

Like everyone else I have no idea how the Thai tax office will treat this situation. Like you say it’s your GUESS they will link it to to our extension approval. Many will disagree with your GUESS. We will just have to wait and see how things pan out and act accordingly. I don’t see any mileage in GUESSING what the outcome may be, it just causes unnecessary confusion and anxiety.

@Jeff ******

is this just your opinion, or do you know for a fact that’s how the Thai tax office will treat this.

well they need to find a solution sooner rather than later to potential problems like this.

One problem for us from the UK is that we don’t get our P60 (confirmation of earnings less tax paid) until April. How are we expected to submit our details before the end of March.

you’re probably right.

I’ve done it four times so far and never had too much of a problem. The first time was probably the worse because I had to show I could support her financially. On subsequent applications I’ve just included a letter confirming I would be supporting her during her stay and that my house would be her base, so no hotel bills to pay. The one thing that probably helped more than anything was the fact she had a good job and also a letter from her employer confirming he employment position and consent for her to take leave. We never used an agent, just double checked on all paperwork prior to submitting to UK immigration. If your gf hasn’t a job you may find it more difficult, good luck.

Is it too late to cancel your return flight and maybe get a partial refund.
