If you’re referring specifically to disability it’s not taxable anyway. Pension would be taxable and once we hit 180 days we’re supposed to report any funds we bring into the country, but with the DTA shouldn’t be taxed on it. No idea how strict they are but I personally don’t play around with this stuff.
Besides getting conflicting info from two tellers at Kasikorn they’re still a good bet if you have your docs in order. While annoying, a signed copy of the landlord’s ID should be easy to get. If that’s all you’re missing you’ll have no problem opening the account in time to season funds for 60 days before your 90 is up. But they gave us a list of documents to return with, no teller opinions entered the conversation. Maybe ask if another branch can provide you that list to remove the ambiguity.
are you applying for a non-o? If it’s any consolation most people I’ve spoken to have gotten their non-o (marriage, retirement, whatever) approved in less than a week, no agency involved. Myself included. Best of luck either way.
Do you live with your partner or your spouse? Can’t get a non-o visa based on marriage if the former (no offense intended, rather not make assumptions).
Provided you’re already married, you get a non-o visa based on marriage from the UK, and check the e-visa website for which additional documents you’ll need.
Marriage certificate apostille was something we had to do from the US, your mileage may vary.
I think you can do everything in Khon Kaen when you get here, but check the UK requirements to be sure.
