A friend's wife in the UK obtained Leave to Remain in October 2021 and that expires on 30 April 2024. The issue is that they have overlooked the fact that expiry is imminent. The situation is compounded by the fact that the applicant is currently on a 2 month holiday in Thailand. Is she able to apply for FLR from Thailand? Whilst this oversight is entirely their responsibility I am surprised that there isn't some sort of 'reminder' from the UK authorities.

I think the issue is that there is NO system between DWP and HMRC.

Lucky that I was there 2 weeks ago 🙂

So, do you still think my post is "nothing to do with pensions?"

Shantaa Resort restaurant has a view over a pier like that.....

Looks like Koh Kood.

It was a poor statement.

yes FACT........................nobody solely on state pension will have a pension great than the individual tax allowance

Wrong assumption.............................otherwise the state pension will always be covered by tax allowance.

Confirmed............

There is an obvious flaw in the system that DWP cannot pick up those people with 'frozen' pensions.

In two cases friends are paying around GBP 10 p.m. more

Rubbish. Everything is taxable. The state pension is deducted from the personal allowance and is the residual allowance is applied to private pensions etc.

A few people have recently received a revised Notice of Coding which increases the amount of tax paid in the next tax year. This change in coding is solely as a result of the expected increase in state pensions. Many expats living in Thailand do not receive the annual increase in pension so, in these circumstances, will be paying too much tax. Check your coding if you receive a new advice and take it up with HMRC if you think you are affected.

Meat on the bones:- The Playing Cards Act is a law in Thailand that prohibits individuals from owning more than 120 playing cards that have not been registered by the Excise Department. The current law was passed in 1943, superseding previous acts. The Playing Cards Acts are part of Thailand's strict anti-gambling laws dating back to 1935. To ensure legal possession of playing cards, under Section 12 of the law, a competent official has the power to enter anywhere between sunrise and sunset to conduct a search
