Help & Suggestions please as next year I will have no UK address
@VBF Thanks for reminding me about my UK Driving Licence. I renewed it in 2023 and it expires in 2026. I will be in the UK next year and plan to renew it if I can renew over 8 months before it expires. I will check but it’s now not that important to me. If in the future I ever visit the UK and if I don’t have a UK Driving licence I believe that I can drive using my Thai Driving licence. I haven’t considered bank accounts in the Isle of Man / Channel Islands. Up until now I plan to open accounts with some of the newer online only banks like Starling. Chase, Revolut, and of course Wise, hoping these will not send any letter post when instructed not to. Also that they will only ask for proof of UK residency when initially opening an account. I could be totally wrong! I am quite ignorant concerning opening a bank account in the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. I have assumed that these accounts are used by wealthy people to help avoid paying some UK taxes and so they probably need to pay more or meet high deposit amounts for these accounts, but again I might be totally wrong. But you have a good point that they might be better for expats, I assume they would not close accounts dependant on where you live. On this thread it has been mentioned that Halifax has closed an account because the holder cannot prove they are living in the UK. I am aware that this has been happening but I cannot understand why. Many expats that have left the UK formally worked for many years in the UK and have assets in the UK, and they need a UK bank account. I have read that for some bank accounts that have been closed the reason cannot possibly be money laundering so I am at a loss why they close accounts. Can I ask do you know how the Isle of Man / Channel Islands bank accounts are better for UK expats? Maybe I should start another post? Thanks for the good wishes. -

As someone who had planned never to return we sold our property in EU. we are now in a situation where we may be better off returning. The rental option 20 yrs ago looked easy solution. Now rental properties at an affordable price are hard to find. To restart from scratch is more daunting than it would have been 20 yrs ago. -

Well done the GRAMMER police spokesman. I think any idiot, including you, would see that it was a keyboard error given that "n" and "m" are adjacent! -

Where Does It End? First She Wants Breast Implants, Now a Brazilian Butt Lift!
It doesn't end. People who resort to that usually always find something else that needs to be "fixed"!
