they all have more pages now, if you are living in a foreign country, wife did hers, no box to check

wife recently did hers, got one message that her application was received and being processed and that was it

amazing, never have seen anything like that, my guess since this was your first license is that it should have been good until 2007 not 2027, unless it came from Khao San Road in Bangkok,

think he needs to post a picture of that license, never heard of anything like that

if you have a five year license and renew after your birthday you will get six years, it says on your license when it expires so I don't really understand your question,

OK for the non US citizen part, have several non US citizen friends getting SS in Thailand. The biggest question is your money coming from New York which is an ACH transfer or are you getting it through the IDD channel. When did you apply for SS in Thailand, if within the last couple of years it was probably done through IDD which has no restrictions on it.

originally Bangkok Bank was only Bank you could get your SS deposited too, had to do it in person, these were ACH transfers from New York, when IDD started a couple of years ago several banks were allowed to accept the deposits with no restrictions.

before IDD deposits started Bangkok Bank was the only one that SS could be sent to and the restrictions on the account were that they had to be withdrawn in person. Maybe this rule has changed not sure. But 100 percent sure that IDD deposits have no restrictions and you can have a card, my account is with Bangkok Bank, started the deposits eight years ago and I could not have a card with this account, wife has hers with Krungthai and hers is done by IDD with no restrictions

but is it coming in by ACH from New York or by IDD which I know has no restrictions. You are a US citizen correct?

If you are doing an ACH transfer for your US Social Security unless they changed you have to go in person to withdraw, I have one account for SS and another account for my daily use, when I get paid I just withdraw the SS money and deposit into my other account for which I have a Debit Card. I you are getting it tranfered by IDD you can get a debit card with the accoun

just found this on the internet, not sure if previously posted U.S. – THAILAND TAX TREATY 1998 Convention between the government of the United States of America and the government of the kingdom of Thailand for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with respect to taxes on income.

Just tried with Chrome and worked ok

a previoius post can't remember what page around 8 I think had link for an English form but there wasn't anything on the form about tax treaty deductions

How would you deal with the tax treaties with foreign countries?

Of course you do because you are working in Thailand.

Just send the email you got from Thai Post, in the past you could use your own envelope prepaid but that no longer applies

Wife just got her US passport back, took 23 days, not to bad

in 1968 I had my first encounter at the original Thermae, damn thats long time ago

subsidizing two wars and an open border is not helping the deficit

One thing I forgot was that the lady said because the pink card is only technically good for the provence issued that it would be the same for the drivers license, didn't want to get into a pissing contest with her because she had already busted my balls for not wearing long pants, had a brand new pair of shorts and a nice shirt, my bad

This was in Rayong
