One problem you have to dodge is the HRT, habitual residence test, if youve been out of the country for a few years you have to wait three months on your return to then be eligible to claim universal credit the weekly allowance and housing benefit both would only start from month four.
Unless you dont tell them youve been abroad so long, then they require previous address employment etc so its difficult but possible. You must also show intent to make Uk now your permanent home.
However if you are deported not recommended you dont need the HRT test and qualify for immediate claiming of benefits. not sure if simply coming to the end of a visa soon and having to leave before illegal status imprisonment would work although its common sense not always noted by computer says no DSS new claims call center in Mumbai.
Wish you the very best of good fortune!
Maybe i was lucky
I returned after 28 years away HRT test took place a job centre i was confirmed UK resident a week later universal credit and rent payment stated within a month
i was honest told them i had run out of money come back to work till my pension kicked in October 2024 when i would return to home in Thailand

You would not be obtaining a ME Non O retirement inside Thailand.
That is a visa with one year validity and can be applied for at Savannakhet
You can obtain a Non O in Thailand from a tourist visa entry conversion using TM86 and other requirements.
Subsequently obtain 12 month extension.
You would also need to obtain multi reentry permit.
You would need to check with Jomtien if they are still processing a non O from visa exempt entry using form TM86.
Medical insurance is not required for non O or extensions
Given the nature of your work and travel you could consider using agent
Especially living in Jomtien where many good ones
Transfer to retirement visa plus multiple re entry
An agent can assist and expediate this with this cost is around 30K

Best post I've read for years sort of sums up Thailand is best ,there is an element of this in every Thai woman most learn to keep their mouth shut and opinions to themselves after a while
i am currently in UK, now we need some work doing in house we live in a pretty remote area, Mrs. Poohy phones me up as shes Bangkok born and bred and ignores most of the locals (country folk you know , we have only lived there 13 years) and does not know who or where where to ask to get things done

Don't forget the illegals are mostly criminals ......... if they weren't criminals they'd apply the legal way. So the country is filling up with stabby jihadies.
I'm here in UK now most immigrants from what in my area i see are Albanian or Romanians either they are not from persecuted countries and are economic migrants who see the benefit in benefitting from our system

The point is most "Airline" regulations deem it necessary to validate your travel to the country they are conveying you to.
Thailand requires proof of onward travel from the validity of proposed stay being granted.
Visa's or an exemption doesn't give automatic entry.
Days of being a "Cavalier" on one way tickets traversing the globe ended back in the early 1980's.
I agree you try boarding Emirates out of BHX without a return or onward ticket or a form of Thai long stay visa and re ntry permit you won get on the plane1

"Teachers"
a bit like police really, in that they can't help telling people what they should do, and appear to be "never off duty"
Used to be in travel business IMHO Teachers are/were always trouble
Old saying is....if you "cant do" you teach

The world doesn't give a rat's fart about Thailand. It's an insignificant South East Asian backwater which plays no part at all on the international stage, a country known primarily for its ladyboys and prostitutes.
Yes sad but true
living in the UK at the moment this sums most peoples here view or knowledge of the kingdom
