Several things will probably make keeping my UK residency difficult. My passport will have to be renewed from within Thailand (arousing suspicion that I am not in the UK) and also I am finding it more difficult to keep a residential address in the UK. By declaring that I have just moved to Thailand it would be less likely that previous pension rises would be knocked off if the UK pensions thought I had moved years ago without declaring the fact. Yes I realise I would not get any more increases which would be a big blow if the future rises followed the triple lock formula with high inflation.
