so why Mary, if your a teacher you have the best chance to work in Thailand. I don't get it, you married a thai why, find a solution not a reason not to. You dont have to be rich to be happy. If legit people can get a visa, just have to tick all the boxes. Not sure why people want to marry a thai and move them, my reasoning would be to be in Thailand.

@John *******

only problem with telling DWP and giving your account is, don't they freeze the yearly increase! I know they did to friends in France a few years back. I'd get paid in the UK and handle my own affairs

@Sue *********

I pay tax on my pensions in the UK, depends on income like everywhere else.

Interest earned in Thailand would be taxable same as elsewhere

@Beverly *********

after 7 years, that maybe will help you for one year living if your frugal, what about the next 10 years?

@Brook *******

what best rate did you find please

@Galenus *****

@Iliyan **********

he isn't working in Thailand in theory, he is working remotely for another country and being paid in that country, many people doing this.

I entered on a 60 day visav1st Jan, came back to the UK end of Feb, lasted 5 days and returned on a 30 day waiver then extended 30 days.

Based on that your fine. Or get another 60 day visa if you want to wait. Enjoy
