@John *******
Don't know that immigration enters into it, maybe those that stay and spend keeps the NHS afloat, I read somewhere that was the rational.

US has a strong Retirement Lobby that keeps COL in place, also it has troops in most countries.

@Kevin **********
Was ref US, not UK ( but UK surprises me ) .

US has no prob depositing into foreign accounts, and supplementing with COL.

Will check in Canada .

If you're earning money from a Thai based Company, or your tangable efforts while living here generate income, I believe is where their sights are focused.

No room for semantics once they declare, but they haven't as yet

@Stephen ******
had no idea.

US deposits directly onto Thai Bank, and reflects a yearly COL increase.
