I think the title of this topic should be changed, with the word "chance" replaced by "threat".

Yes I did read that sad story. Just relating my personal experience.

I am also a customer of HSBC and my pensions are paid into my account each month. I changed my bank registered address to my Thai address more than 10 years ago. I also have a HSBC VISA card registered at my Thai address (I don't have a UK address since 2014). I was informed by a bank rep that I should make regular transactions to ensure that it didn't become dormant and risk being closed. Replacement credit/debit cards are sent to me here in Thailand. I don't think they have a problem with existing account holders at the moment. I realise this can change.

I've just watched episode 1 of season 1 of The Black Donnellys. It's about 4 young Irish brothers who get caught up in New York's underworld. Looks pretty good so far. I got it from TGx. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0805661/

This is what I use.

20 minutes after receiving the "approved" email (with PDF containing receipt/next reporting date) for my last online 90 day report, I got an email reminder informing me that my next report was due in 10 days. Not sure why that happened.

Thanks for that @Mike Teavee. Downloading season 1 now from Lime.

I've just finished season 2 of Joe Pickett and enjoyed it. I got it from TGx. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14271652/

I don't know if you need a UK address to get a Gov Gateway account. I opened my GG account before 2009 (When I left the UK for good)

Nice post Owl.

I've used this chat to sort tax queries out a few times. https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/ask-hmrc/chat/online-services-helpdesk The HMRC phone app is also very useful (essential IMHO). It lists all your incomes and tax code(s) that HMRC are aware of. It also explains how your tax is calculated. You need a Gov Gateway account to use the app.

I watched this a while back and thought it was pretty good.

I've always received the "approved" email.

The delay is likely due to the extended holiday. Clicking on the red X will delete that report. Yes you can visit immigration and do a report in person during the grace period.
