Yes, UK age pension  is frozen once you inform UK Pensions that you reside overseas(Thailand). Not sure how this affects someone who spends time in UK and Thailand. Your original post which Ubonjoe answered is unclear whether you are here(Thailand) wanting an extension or elsewhere wanting a visa. If you are here on an extension, then as UJ says 12months income of 65K+ needs to be shown to immigration if you use the monthly income method. There are plenty of threads on here showing how you prove the monthly income.

U can spend how much time u like outside of uk it do not affect your pension only the pay rising  but if u are on pension credit is part of your pension they will stop at they cannot stop any of your pension being outside uk and if u was in the uk they will send a statement every year how much u get on u have address in u.k  and your pension is not frozen and at is 100% guarantee they cannot and I mean they cannot stop your pension u have work for it because I know because I have phone the pension people up and they told me they cannot stop your pension because u do give in uk if u are getting pension they will stop what ever they pay u in pension credit  because u live in thailand they can stop the pay rise like now it go up in april from £168.68 at the full pension to £175 so it best u dont tell them u are live in thailand or at mean they will pay u the rise so anyone who tell u they freeze your pension they are full of <deleted> it's your and u work for it and they cannot stop ok 100% believe me it's not frozen only if they are pay u pension and pension credit it a credit up u are short of stamp they make your pension up with at payments government say u need so much to live on so dont believe what people tell u ok I know I have spoken to them if u dont believe me phone them up

My state pension has been frozen for 12 years. Iniquitous.

Simple reason why your pension have been frozen because u told them u was live in thailand there was no need for u to tell them they would not have known unless somebody told them when u are with pension they dont bother u they leave u not like the dole when they are on your case  and u must have a uk bank account for them to pay it in  why pay it in to a thai bank account just tranfer with tranferwise in to a thai account

When I came to Thailand I was still a patriot:  I even sent my cold weather allowance back which they paid me in error.  In retrospect, I have now lost my finer feelings and would keep silent if I had my time over again.

My pension IS paid into my UK account and I DO use Transferwise every couple of months.
