Hi all. As the title states its a question aimed at the UK Expat population and official mail. Official stuff. Namely Driving Licence, Pension, Bank Details, Tax Details, Bloodsuckers and annoying jobs worth civil servants. Most don't allow a PO Box address. I'd lie and say I have no living relatives but giving them P.O.A on my particulars is a no fkn way! How do you sort out all the mundane must haves so that its all square ?

If you are retired you pension can be paid direct to a Philippine bank account and you will still receive the yearly interest, the appropriate forms must be filled in along with your birth certificate, divorce papers if applicable, marraige certificate if applicable etc etc. Or keep your British bank account and set up a remittance company account, i use world remit sent yourself your pension each month. Not sure about income tax i don't pay it. If your driving lisence will expire soon just get it sent to a UK address and then sent on over here. Normal post takes two to three weeks to arrive if at all. Anything sensitive like debit and credit cards i would have sent by dhl or something similar. I don't have any mail so i never need anything sent as yet.
Just remember it takes a very long time to get here postal workers here have been known to open letters if they think there is something of value inside. It's not a secure system at all. Don't think i have been much help but i tried lol
