I dont think so treetops---as they have to pay them the same as current nurses --they would head their anyway---as UK is always advertising for foreign care/Nurse ---and the UK lose most of their nurses to Oz NZ etc with a much higher pay rate.......
When you look at the countries UK would pay full pension in-- there seems to be no consistency---Chile, Israel, South Korea, Japan,Mauritius,Turkey.....a whole other list -- you expect the EU & commonwealth countries but there is a lot of others and it just says UK has an agreement with--doesn't say what sort of agreement--but you would think someone in the Thai government might be cute enough to find out. ......yer maybe not......
