He means the 'actual physical branches' themselves are closing down not the 'establishment / business' itself....    and a lot of them are doing so.

He said "banks", not "branches".

How does a state pension work at age 60?

Who mentioned state pension,  oh I think it was you.  He may have inherited a trust fund early in his life.  No one has any facts even you from your Suk bar stool.

You think that private pensions can be accessed at any age?

Prove me wrong !!   once a private pension reaches it term it pays out

 In OZ  you can get your super at 55 and under certain circumstances at 40

[GinBoy2]

 

The guy has been out of the UK for at least 25 years, so I guess he hasn't paid in to anything.

 

Wonder what the future holds for him when he lands in LHR?

 

Hopefully he still has some family, not estranged, that will take him in while he tries to pick up the train wreak of his life.

 

I'll let the Brits beat out the asylum benefits thing between themselves.

 

But for this guy, and who  knows how old he is, tough times; immigration detention then off to a country he hasn't lived in for 25 years

Yes, I mentioned it, that's what I was commenting on.   The link that stated that he was supported by his family made no mention of inherited funds or trust funds.  There are facts available if you bother to read the links rather than trying not to fall off your Suk bar stool.

60 is not the minimum age at which to receive an occupational pension in the UK.

I'm posting about UK pensions rules, not Australian.  You're the one who claimed that private pensions can be accessed at any age so you're the one who would need to prove it.  I don't want you to prove it, I know what the rules in the UK are (which is what the discusssion on this thread relates to).

You do know people who enter the country on 30day visa exempt are not required to do 90 day reporting.... don't you ?

 

Yes I do - just a question on my part.

Fortunately no such ridiculous 90 day reports here in Cambodia where I now live.

How much will the fine be?

Or, does he just pay the usual maximum, which is quite low.

 

The 20k overstay maximum fine is less than what he would have paid for 25 years visa extensions. He’s £ quids in !

You need to post correctly  all pensions are not the same  there are term pensions which pay out after a certain term 20yrs 25 yrs then you have pensions set up by employer then there is super then the state

You need to be more careful with how you read my comments.

Specifically what have I posted that is inaccurate regarding UK pension, state, private or occupational pensions?

[Gaccha]

Until February this year, if a person is illegally resident in the UK for 14 years then they are entitled to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

 

This was changed this month (!) to a 20-year requirement.

 

Perhaps Thailand can extend the same humanity to British citizens as Britain has so kindly done to Thai citizens.

The blokes landing on the Kent beaches in dinghies will be telling him to get to the back of the queue.

Although in fact they’ll be getting accommodation and benefits as asylum seekers. He as a returning citizen not though!

..imagine the chaos if that were the case

 

It is literally the case in the UK.

 

If a foreigner is illegally resident in the UK for 20 years (it was 14 years until just this month) then they have a right to indefinite leave to remain (ILR).

Or how they caught the scumbag

He broke the law, probably has done no harm to anyone, for all you know he may have done a lot of good, calling him a scumbag is a bit over the top. 

And before you fire back, I don't agree with his actions.

   Because there would then be so  many Westerners living in Thailand that it would become crowded and over run with Westerners .

I don't think so, Thailand is not a good enough country now to attract enough westerners to come here.
