Could anybody with a DTV visa help advise, as I couldn't find the information online.
This may be specific to the UK, as I am unsure of the laws that other countries have.
The UK seems to have a law that you cannot work outside of the country for more than 180 days per year. My company is fine with me working anywhere in the world, but their concern is taxes, and that they will be required to pay foreign taxes, or that we will break some laws by doing this.
I currently (and will continue to) pay taxes in the UK as I am a resident there, but does anybody know if there are implications for me working abroad, or any steps myself and my company would need to take.
What is the lowest price for non o renewal in Pattaya 12500bht cheapest I've found does anyone know cheaper?? I need a bank cert with this. I should've said this at the beginning. But it is in the comments later.
For those who want to open a bank account I want you to watch this to pay very special attention to: 12:00-12:15
“What triggers expatriation into thailand”
“Opening a bank account and trnasferring funds into that bank accout”
This is how I take that.
1. If you make a bank account here, it is purely to make your tax simpler/easier. I’m going to call an accountant tomorrow to see if we even need to lodge a return if we don’t bring any money in, but I assume we do over 180 days. If someone knows, please comment. I would prefer not to have to make a return if not needed.
2. All your spending should be with revolut and wise to not trigger expatriation. Do not just simply transfer money into a Thai bank account willy nilly. Only transfer money in you expect to be taxed. So 149,999 cap if you want to do it tax free.
I’m not sure if Western Union counts but I might even take that out somewhere else in the 6 month break.

I have a question that some of you may have experienced .
I am a cyclist and my wife & I are moving to Thailand to live . I have 3 road bikes and they are expensive . I want to ride the track out by the airport and some other areas .
My wife is a Thai national and lives with me in Canada .She has her PR and has lived here over one year , that allows her to bring items back into Thailand without being taxed from what I've researched
We will be bringing 3 road bikes with us , 2 are mine and 1 is hers . Total value of the bikes is around $35,000 and I'm wondering when we come through the airport in Bangkok are we going to have to get into a deep discussion over bringing the bikes to Thailand and immigration wanting to try to tax us ?
We will have sold everything else we own but the bikes were custom builds and I can't replace them in Thailand for what I paid for them . 2 are 1- 2 yrs old and the other is 10 yrs old .
Ive tried to sell the older one but most people at this time ( in Canada) do not have the extra money so I'm going to be stuck with bringing it with me
Anyone just rolled through immigration without issue ?
I do not plan on telling immigration that we are planning to live in Thailand at that time . I will apply for a marriage visa later but I do not want to commit to staying in Thailand until we learn more how the income tax may affect us .
If it does then we will jump countries and live 179 days in thailand and then go another country for the remainder and come back again but thats to be determined once we have been there for a few months and speak to a tax accountant
Anyone have experience bringing bikes with you into Thailand ?
