What are the current COVID-19 testing and quarantine requirements for tourists traveling to Thailand?

David *******

@Lynnette ******

your comment makes no sense, you said test before you fly which they already had and you can still catch it after the test. It's reached the point of being endemic same as flu , do you suggest they test for flu also and stop travel if positive

What is the best way to transfer a UK monthly pension to a Thai bank account?

David *******

@John *********

yes thats what I meant above, once you reach threshold you pay tax, in my case my rental income is just on it so I would be taxed on any of the 3 pensions I draw from. Used to be a loophole transferring into a QROPS in HK but now have to pay tax if you transfer it.

@John *********

I have taken the tax free 25% on 3, so what about the rest when I take it? It would take me above the £12k UK threshold so would have to pay tax either when getting it into uk bank ? or sending it here?

I am also UK non resident and dont pay tax on salary currently. For your pension, as you live here and are here over 180 days a year do you not pay tax here instead of UK?
