Pension

Receiving your pension (UK Pension)

When you stay outside the UK you can still collect a State Pension.  You will not, however be entitled to the adjustments which normally occur quarterly and obtain only the annual index-linked increases that are related to your pension.  If you come back to live in the UK or spend 6-months or more in the UK, you will increase your State Pension to current levels by doing this.  You can receive payments from the UK such as a benefit, annuity or salary, you can plan for your income to be paid directly into your Thai bank account.  Once you reach the age of State Pension, if you reside and live in another country, you will also be entitled to get your State Pension once you retire. When residing in Thailand, there is no tax on your pension.
