Yes.

Actually based on marriage (400K required but I kept 500K +throughout the many years now of having this fixed deposit account)

Beg to differ. Never required by CM IMM to update my fixed deposit account passbook on the day of application for the annual EOS- for either previous based on retirement and now presently based marriage. Regular savings yes, never fixed deposit.

For the last 10 years I've maintained a fixed account to park the necessary funds for my annual EOS at the CM Imm. I've gotten the bank letter and passbook update up to 7 days before applying for my extension. This year (last month) I got my bank letter and passbook update the day before applying and CM on the day of applying still required another update to the fixed account passbook!

Never had an updated 90 day report provided/processed at the time of my annual EOS based on marriage to a Thai..

First contact yr card company to ensure that they didn't block the transaction. Then try reaching out to their customer service? I had no trouble using my credit union Visa card.

Ridiculous statement. Whether it be Line or What's App or similar those could/cannot be used unless the other party has the app as well. Try calling U.S. banks or government organizations using those.....I used Skype for all reaching my bank, social security admin, etc.

After researching I decided on Yolla. Very inexpensive to call the U.S. and no monthly/annual fees...pay as you go

Not entirely true...When making toll free calls (800#) to the U.S. & using my VPN I never had to pay...

Thank you.

Pls post the link. I am not finding a fixed deposit rate above 1.80%

And for married couples the thresholds are the aggregate value of specified foreign financial assets of $400,000 or more at the end of the year or $600,000 or more at any time during the year

Read my clarifications I added 3 hours ago for better information

You can msg me if u want to know; don't want any fallout by publicizing the name. But I do need to clarify my earlier statement. My insurance policy states that pre-existing conditions are not covered during the first year of the policy unless the covered person has declared the pre-existing condition at the time of application AND the insurance company agrees to cover said pre-existing condition. Or, all pre-existing conditions not known at the time of the application are/willbe covered if having had continual policy coverage by the company for 3 successive years, and has had no symptoms or sought medical advice for a period of 5 years for a suspect condition before the inception of the first policy year. Apologize for my brevity of my first response; it was not totally correct. But still, never has my insurance company taken a position that something that they had covered was now a pre-condition at the time of the policy renewal.

That is simply not true. I have had health insurance with a Thai company for at least the last 10 years. The first year's policy limited the term of pre-condition exclusion so today I am covered for all noted pre-conditions I disclosed at the beginning policy AND no renewal has ever excluded conditions related to any treatment received in the year prior to renewal.

WRONG. I sent my passport renewal application to the US Embassy via Thai Post EMS late December AND received from the Embassy an email acknowledging their receipt within a week.

You SEND your application paperwork to the US Embassy by EITHER EMS or DHL...I sent mine late Dec via EMS. You purchase via Thai Post Mart the RETURN envelope which Thai Post will send to the US Embassy to send your new passport to you.

BOTH are needed to be sent w/the application

Absolutely agree...My wife and I have been married over 33 years! Longer than some of the IO's have been on planet earth.....

That is correct...last year I applied for my EOS on 20 March. My expiration of the then current EOS was 23 April..so basically I applied for my renewal 30 days before expiration. I was instructed to return on 21 May to pick up my new EOS....which I did and the expiration of the new (and every) EOS is on the 23rd of April...
