  1. Have you made sure that pop-ups are allowed on your device? Took me ages to realize that my device was not allowing the Immigration pop-ups to appear.
  2. I had confirmation from my pension provider a couple of days ago that they will pay into my Wise account. My state pension can be paid into my Thailand account. Wise can provide a letter to confirm one's account details, which can be forwarded (online or by post) to the pension provider - the letter can be downloaded from their website. Edit: To add that I am setting up a Wise account for my wife so that she should have no problems getting her widows pension when the time comes.
  3. I've been a Barclay's customer since I was 18 (so, 48 years) and I have had a Thailand address for the past 17 years. A few weeks ago I got a letter to say that they require me to close my account before August 2023, or they will close it. They say that non-UK residents cannot hold an account for legal reasons. My account is active - pensions being paid in every month, so it's not a question of a dormant account. I have a Wise account and arranged for my pensions to be paid into it. Then I will transfer the money into my Thai account.
  4. @Dario You could try contacting the Consumer Protection Board of Thailand. https://www.consumersinternational.org/members/members/office-of-the-consumer-protection-board-of-thailand/
  5. She could open a new account in her own name and make a request to her pension provider to pay into that account asap. Any money in the joint account will be held by the bank until their procedures are concluded but, at least she will get her regular pension payments.
  6. Smells like there could be an election soon.
