For those who say just tell them you are in the UK or Philippines there is a current crack down on benefit fraud and they recruited addition fraud investigators. They are getting additional powers so they can check UK bank accounts, turn up at the address you say you live unannounced and talk to neighbors etc. Thailand is now a CRS Country and share your Banking and financial transactions with HMRC and visa versa and HMRC and DWP are joined at the hip. They already check passports when sent for renewal but next year the UK will have digital border which will do nothing to control illegal immigration but they will know every time we leave or enter the Country. The world is getting ever more digital and ever more difficult to hide in.
