Not true, they will accept a properly printed download.

You should be fully aware that I was answering a question with fact.

Ive had my pension stopped and reinstated twice due to late Life Certificate, as you say, chivas is talking his usual bollacks

Exactly

And?

We know that we will never get the pension increases legitimately, because most of us can't vote. So, there are those of us who accept their lot and there are others who wont let the bas,rds get away with keeping the increases that we believe we've earned. I'm a gambler by nature and having weighed up the pros and cons I decided long ago it was worth the risk and I wasn't wrong. Those of you who haven't got the bottle, don't beat yourself up, there's maybe a place in heaven for you😄, but don't keep on about passport control, that's a dead horse.

A few years back I visited one of these health centers in the UK. I gave them my NH number and got 3 months of meds buckshee.

No its not and regardless of what the numpties believe, I'll carry on getting my full pension my way😉

I don't believe they would because it would be a waste of time. The passport holder is the the only person that has the arrival and departure records inside the extra pages.

Work it out superal. You download a copy, print it, get it signed and return it to your partner in crime who then puts it into the brown envelope and posts it.

wtf are you talking about?

For those of you that are already living here, as far as the uk gov is concerned, youve missed the boat I'm afraid. For those who are thinking about retiring in Thailand, here's some advice on how to keep your pension up to date. 1) Keep your UK bank account open to use for the payment of your pension 2)You need an address where HM Gov can write to you (a family member, an ex wife who still loves you😄 for example) who will e-mail you the correspondence, particularly life certs, which you can download, print and get the local pharmacist, for example,to sign and stamp. 3)You have 16 weeks from the date of the letter accompanying the certificate, to return the certificate IN THE BROWN ENVELOPE, which your co conspirator must keep and post when he/she receives the signed cert from you. 4)Keep a record of the dates of correspondence in case you get a letter from HM gov asking you where you have been living for the last year. You have to tell them you were in Thailand when you were sent the L.C. for example. I don't believe that you will be asked for proof of where you were living (I wasn't), just make sure you don't drop yourself in it. Remember that the Pension service is very busy and that they're not going to waste time chasing a few quid. In 12 years I've never been asked why some of .my life certificates have been signed in Thailand.

Top of my list is Barbados. I spent the best part of 2 winters there, before I came to Thailand and I loved every minute of it. Fun people, great night spots and restaurants, a fantastic climate and beautiful beaches that you could, very often, have to yourself. On both occasions I rented inexpensive apartments for 2 and 3 months and if circumstances had been different I'd probably be living there now.

Nope, guess again! I'll give you a clue, it's not in the UK😉

My UK state earnings related pension is now £14,000 per annum and as I've just turned 80, I reckon I've got nothing to complain about.

Don't worry, it's only a dream!

To have the power to eliminate the scum of the earth.

Seems like you took the bait doesn't it!

I reckon he's an Aussie, these days they seem to use mate more than the Brits

I've been reporting online since we were given the option, but I too have had my last 2 reports refused. I really thought that after all the problems, in the beginning, with the online system,we were finally out of the woods. Unfortunately, if it works don't try to fix it doesn't seem to work in Thailand, more like if it works, let's f...k it up.

It sounds like the only good thing to come out of this, is that a loan shark has been shafted

He could have been shot before he fell.

It's probably been mentioned already, but having enjoyed The Gentlemen movie, I've binged on the series for 2 days and I can only say that Guy Ritchie's done it again, it's f....i ng brilliant!
