How can I ensure my money transfers from the UK show as Foreign Telegraphic Transfers in my SCB account for my Long Stay Marriage Visa in Thailand?

@Nick ***********

As long as you have minimum 65k per month it's acceptable. A guy I know from Australia transfers 35k twice a month and it's no problem. Immigration office course like one transfer a month as it makes life easier for them, but there's no stipulation

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

Roberto *********

Wrong again. Tax laws have definitely not changed in regard to transfer of savings. The new tax law applies only to INCOME. But no doubt you've been duped by the online tax experts who are touting for business! 🤣🤣🤣

The 180 day rule has always been in place. It's nothing new - just more misinformation being spread by trolls! Further, no tax return is necessary. I've lived in Thailand for years and never once filed a return - and that won't change

Superannuation is a pension which for most countries is taxable only in the country in which it is paid, so no you would not pay tax

No you won't pay tax. But I wouldn't advise sending large sums of money to buy something you'll never own, however that's another story!

@James **********

Just the truth. I don't know if any other country which allows money to be brought in tax-free if you wait a year! So your comment is actually stupid
