How can i find out about paying missing years when i am unable to obtain a goverment gateway pin from my location ther does seem to be a local restriction on some webpages to especially those requiring input. By my working i should have paid 27 years beore moving to Thailand i seem to hit a dead end on the phone or web and my letter was unanswered

Sorry correction 27 years not 2

I let the Royal Navy about 10 years ago and moved to Thailand my only income is my armed forces pension. I have tried a few times throughout the years to ask about paying voluntary NI i think i have currently paid 2 years but on both the online query and using the automated call i run into problems because i have been unable to obtain a government gateway pin. About 3 months ago i also sent a postal query but as yet i havnt seen a reply the post can be quick at time i have also seen it take 10 weeks on several occasions so i might get something yet. i also have had problems with some uk webpages from here Thanks

Additional to the last some uk websites are locked out here

Hello I let the armed forces about 9 and a half years ago and have tried a few times to get details on how to pay NI from Thailand. I have not been successful in obtaining a gateway pin and seem to hit a dead end trying to obtain this. I have tried online and via the phone and lastly about 2 months ago by post. The postal service has never been the same since covid and can take upto 7 weeks so far i have received no reply. I did give my email details in the letter explaining how slow the postal service can be but nothing so far i also keep running into dead ends and cut off on the phone mainly because I dont have a pin. Is there an email service or somewhere I can leave a message with my details. My only income is a goverment pension

Thank you

Hello I am a British national living in Thailand on my uk armed forces pension. There is a bit of hysteria here just now as the tax laws have been updated from 1 Jan 24 Released on September 15, 2023, Revenue Order 161/2023 dictates that starting from January 1, 2024, any foreign income, regardless of its source (be it from employment, business, pension, or overseas assets), will be subject to taxation in Thailand upon its entry into the country, regardless of the year in which it was initially brought in. “Assessable income” means income that is taxable under this Chapter. Such income also includes a property or any other benefit received which may be computed into a monetary value, any amount of tax paid by the payer of income or by any other person on behalf of a taxpayer and tax credit under Section 47 Bis. My pension is quite near the minimum for tax but still as i see it subject to uk rules but i have no idea what this new rule means and whether my pension is considered assessable income in Thailand which to my understanding also has a double tax agreement with the UK

There is some confusing information coming out in Thailand 2024 regarding assessable income and pensions Although I currently live in Thailand my only income is my armed forces pension which was taxed at source although may now be under minimum. I am still a British national and my pension is payed to a uk bank account starting from January 1, 2024, any foreign income, regardless of its source (be it from employment, business, pension, or overseas assets), will be subject to taxation in Thailand upon its entry into the country Totally confused and more so by blogs and threads Where do I stand I extend here year by year but have been her more than 180 days
