i was lat in Thailand before this trip in Feb/March 2024 for 30 days which was the max then. So this our first trip back since.

It was more a case of whether she can enter thailand using her uk passport on a visa exempt for a two month holiday, then, after returback to uk 2 weeks later she goes back to thailand for a month which would still be a uk passport and a second visa exempt in a short space of time.

Her thai passport was changed in Buriram with her surname now matching mine.

When she cones to renew her uk passport, does that cause a problem??

@James *******

thanks James.

We have our flights booked already so my wife uess her uk passport.

So when she flies back with her daughter it is best confirming flight (with Etihad) with her Thai passport details?

Her name is different than in her uk passport

is wonk on a contract basis in the UK Adrian but through an umbrella company.

So 180 days is the limit without paying tax in thailand?

The company im contracting for are happy for me to work 100% remote as that is what I do now in the UK

@Steve ********

yrs thats what im prepping now…. We don’t have a house at moment as we knocked her parents house down last March. My wife still has the blue book. I guess we can rent and the owner where we normally stay said he can do all the necessary docs for us/immigration.

Looking forward to doing the same! Just about to apply in the UK for type O visa and flights (one way) already booked with Etihad from Manchester 5th November….

I hope its the same in Buriram for a retirement visa!!

Very sketchy mates from the Philippines 😂

@Bill *******

it was a mate in the Philippines that mentioned… I said I will check the validity of the statement

@Tod ********

many thanks Tod. When I hear ‘rumours off mates’ my first port of call for fact is this forum. 👍🏻
