Thanks for the answers, I will get it witnessed by my local lawyer. I was told that it can be witnessed at the immigration office. On a side note, can I ask the safest way to send the form back to the UK? I've heard registered post is very expensive, so I may go the EMS route.

Once you start claiming your UK state pension it's a form they send out that you have to fill in and send it back to the UK. It's to prove you are still alive. What I'm seeing is no one is sure if they will get the form or not.

Am I right in thinking you just show the witness your passport. You don't have to send a copy of the passport with the life certificate?

I'm sure this is on the forum somewhere, but I can't find it. Would someone be kind enough to guide me through the Life Certificate form which arrived today. A couple of things I'm not sure about. Proof of identity. Do I copy my passport on a separate sheet of paper and get the witness to sign that? Or do they just sign the declaration. I live in Jomtien, any pointers to who i can get to sign and stamp the form? Any help will be appreciated.

That's it. Well done. Like you I found the whole process a pain. Going to immigration for 2 x proof of address, 2 x medical certificate. Now this online test that has to be printed out, then half a day at the centre. Luckily it only has to be done every five years.

I had a pass certificate that I saved on a memory stick and took to a print shop.

Agree. Used them for the past 6 years. Cheaper than Rooja and simple to do online.

Things must have changed then. I renewed my passport which had six months left via Trendy house in Bangkok four years ago. The new passport arrived with ten years and six months to expiry date, no loss of time?
