Judge Rejects Trump’s Immunity Claim in Hush Money Case, Conviction Stands
Ya'll know what is simply Epic! Kamala Harris as US Vice President has to be the one to certify the electoral college election results! Talk about a cosmic kick-in-the-butt as she heads out the door into political obscurity. Well, she can always become the Governor of California as Californians love vegan word-salad. Then she can endorse Gavin Newsom as the 2028 Democrat candidate for presidency as, unlike her, he may actually have a chance at winning. -

Is it possible to have a UK Bank account while being tax resident in Thailand?
A good friend of mine has an account with Barclays in the UK. Sorry, I do not know the location. He has been a non resident for about 30 years. He now lives permanently in Thailand and Barclays keep writing to him telling him that he now has to close his account with them as he lives overseas. He refuses, telling them that he does not want it closed. He tells them that if they want it closed, they must close it. This has been going on for a couple of years now. He still has an account with Barclays. Back to the OP's original question - I too have an account in the UK with NatWest. I have had it since they were called Westminster Bank, before they merged (1960's?). I became non resident the UK in 1993 and told the bank. No problem. I have my pension paid into it. (They too know that I live overseas.) For post - they have my M-I-L's address for silly, non important stuff and my Thai address for anything that I want quickly. As others have said, I suspect that if one lives overseas, opening an account in the UK now would be very, very tricky. -

Is it possible to have a UK Bank account while being tax resident in Thailand?
Is your HSBC account offshore or in UK? I used to have an offshore account with HSBC and had a credit card which was issued from UK. When I needed a new credit card HSBC UK refused to send it to Thailand so I had them send it to my offshore bank address who then sent it to me in Thailand. Their refusal was based on Thailand not being a secure location for delivery, although I never had any problems receiving my cards when HSBC offshore sent them. HSBC would however send my credit card to Seoul Korea where I lived for a while, and on three separate occasions I never received it, even when having HSBC in Seoul instruct HSBC UK to send the card to them for me to collect in person. I closed my HSBC offshore account eventually but kept the credit card active and guess what, come time for renewal HSBC UK had no problem sending me the card to Thailand! -
