Ridiculous, WTF has a bank book got to do with passport renewal and stamp transfers ?
Just a thought OP, have you ensured that your monthly income transfers are designated by your Thai bank as coming from overseas ?
I never got caught, i informed them of my change of address to Thailand but i was late in doing so, i was totally honest with them but they showed no mercy.
Yes taken out of my state pension and i was and never have been in receipt of any other benefits.
Feel free to repost as pictures any of the download pages.
Yes i was fined £50 and also had to repay the overpayment. This was recovered from my pension payment. I never appealed as i was guilty of receiving the monies when not entitled.
I get a 12 month statement from Bangkok bank to support my 65K monthly income retirement extension and its never signed or stamped. Korat immigration accept it no problem.
I'm now getting ''There is no more activity to display'' after 28mins when there clearly should be. I've tried Firefox and Chrome both have the same problem.
Anyone else getting the same problem ?
Thanks for your explanation, quite unbelievable that the DWP is causing this problem.
How can they arrive at a figure to inform HMRC and not actually pay me the same figure ? Beggars belief......
Yep sure enough i have also checked my HMRC PTA and they are also proposing that i receive the 8.3% pension increase for 24/25 when my pension is frozen.
What is going on here ? HTF can they get this wrong ? Now who is at fault ? The DWP know i don't receive the increases and have'nt done for years so why are they informing the HMRC that i am ? or is it a case of the HMRC just applying the % increase to ALL STATE PENSIONS irrespective as to whether your pension is frozen or not.
This is happening every year for me and i have to amend the online HMRC PTA statement to reflect that i'm not receiving any increase.
I do the online method rather than phone them and be waiting up to 45 mins on average to talk to someone.
Any of you guys that phone the HMRC have you ever asked them why this is happening ?
When i was a couple of months short of the 12 months income statement from my Thai bank for my retirement extension i was offered the opportunity to just pay 15K and the problem would go away. I just went back to my bank and got the two months statement that was missing.
Its good to know there are ways to solve problems imo.
Well i asked wifey if there had been any Thai news reporting and she said there had not but i do remember a farang vlogger mentioning he had a similar problem with his car insurance quite some time ago.
What amazes me is there has been NO national reporting of this insurance companies financial problem, well i certainly have'nt seen or heard of any.......
Wifey had a call from our car insurance agent to inform us that our insurance provider was no longer paying legitimate claims WTF !!! She stated that due to Covid claims the company was effectively broke and was unable to pay claims. This was confirmed by wifey's brother who insured his car with the same company and submitted a legitimate claim for 4K baht which was denied.
Needless to say we immediately effected new insurance with another provider.
Anyone else had experience with this ?
