They have a banking branch in London UK.

My pensions go in there and I transfer money to Wise before sending it offshore

do you get your wise transfers marked up as foreign transfers by your thai bank to satisfy visa regs Shu?

Bangkok Bank marks it as a foreign transaction.
Works for me.

My state pension won't be increased as they've known for a long time that I'm not resident in the UK.
I have always had an address for my bank account in the UK.

in which case it should not be too difficult to "review" your pension payments.

it is an abhorrent, immoral and cruel travesty perpetrated by uk governments of all persuasions that after contributing towards a pension for ones working life the yearly increases to which one is surely entitled are denied based purely on the country one has decided to retire to.

Tax, I've been in receipt of the pension for about 18 months.
