Pension

Receiving your pension (UK Pension)

You can claim your State Pension if you live outside the UK.  However, you won’t be entitled to the increases that normally happen yearly and only receive the yearly index-linked increases.  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 UK-based payments such as a pension, annuity or salary, you can arrange for your payments to be directly deposited into your bank account in Thailand.  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.
