Is it normal practice cause I have heard from others that if there are punctures or tear on your passport (when you get rid of staples ) , the other country immigration will not allow entry. can I advise the Thai immigration not to staple or let it be ?

Ditto, yes , its on 3rd of the month for foreigner recipient. Also When do we expect 7162 form when we started ssa early this year ?

Interesting read https://www.facebook.com/groups/648860292128018/search/?q=ltr visa

Does it make sense to change our Thai address to a usa address to avoid 7162? I am able to use my usa relative address . I currently filed ssa with a Thai address to send my benefits to a usa bank account . I guess I could change ssa address to usa after I start receiving my benefits in the coming months but wondered if it makes sense to do it, however I will only update the address after mg first deposit . . My irs has the Thai address .I appreciate any comments

I wish BOI can educate TAT that long term visa holders like 10 years residence visa holders be included in the group with those with work permit: Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn. Regarding b300-tourist-fee-to-take-effect-in-june

If usa govt can still tax us as non us residents , I think financial Banks can let us bank with them to pay our yearly taxes abroad . It is difficult to pay usa govt in Thai bhat 5555

How do one obtain information , i.e. interest yield / maturity of recent new series of Thai government bond offering , I want to purchase THB Government bonds In Bangkok bank ? Thanks

I would like to update my password to my login account on BOI but unable to locate the settings to allow me to do so. Has anyone found a way to change password ? Appreciate any help . This is part of my yearly routine to update my login accounts. The only option I see is to reset the digital work permit password , is that it?

Anyone ordered online their Telsa yet, which model did you choose ?

I got my stamp already last month and only today I received an email that i can download my successfully notification ltr which i can access via logging in. anyone got a late email too? I assume we ignore since we are stamped .

My conference call had no details of what is to be discussed i.e divorce, etc However I plan to go to embassy prior to the conf call to get following certified copies: passport birth cert naturization paper Yes, the conf call is 2 months late too, for me based on my SS app submit date. DinesR, Why would you delay your payment? They will back pay if they are late, changing your benefit day would mean no back pay, unless you delay for a year which will be larger amount because you start SS later. Is that correct?

Dinesh, email notification . I used the Manila fbu enquiry after i submitted . hope this help

Yes , i made my chiang mai usa appointment (eom nov) in preparation of my manila interview (jan3,). I replied to manila to inform that they wrote jan 2 , 2022.instead of 2023. i am going to bring following to certify: passport naturalization paper birth certificate any thoughts of other documents , i was thinking of divorce papers but might be overkill.

I really do not understand what the intention is for this proposal: they can propose realistic requirements to encourage sale that we will accept /buy or they can discourage and we will not bite so what exactly are they trying to do? If unsure, why even propose ? TIT

Taxout, thanks for your reply. i applied 3 months before 62 start, so no worries i will get it all , the makeup paynents due to processing delays. Curious question, could i apply 13 months earlier for a 63 start date since that benefit is higher 555

Hi Skeptic, if you do not get your benefit in your target age, I wonder if they prorated it back at your target date of when it starts since every delay increases our benefit ?

Pib, thanks for your replies and congrats on ltr or if not processed yet, good luck .

hi Pib, Looking at the checklist ( mail in option) to get the documents certified it seems that consulate do not need that Manila fbu email . I Just fill in the check list. to confirm : I provide original passport , a photocopy of the passport page with details / pic original naturalization certificate , a copy of this certificate Then send it to Chiang mai consulate with the 100 baht bank draft with the checklist Their Remarks: If requesting document is U.S. passport; it must be SIGNED by a bearer of passport. does this mean i need to sign the photo copy of my passport page ? thanks

DineshR, Thanks for the update. Good luck in the states . Per ssa online status , Baltimore has my app and will take 2-4 weeks to process so I will wait end of this month, November to call the 800-772-1213 if needed . I did make a notary appointment , chiang mai usa consulate since their earliest appointment is at the end of the month to obtain certified copies needed for Manila fbu. I guess I can also use their mail in service too if Manila does not contact me by then.

DineshR, keep us updated , I just submit mine online yesterday . might be longer since I am a naturalized and will have to provide SSA foreign birthcert and naturalized citizenship paper as followup.

ThailandRyan, thanks , will try it the next time i order. Order with cash and when they arrive , use the qr scan method. separate topic from the LTR forum, i think the only reason for WP permit for us pensioners is to avoid the horror stories of being deported eg a story i heard that a foreigner retiree helped his wife selling chicken who happened to help her mom who was sick on that day . yes , i did not apply for the WP too

Charlieh, Yes, i have used theQR code payment method but i thought food panda use only debit card /cash/pay pal when ordering? do you mean to pay cash when ordering food panda and then tell the food panda driver that you wish to pay with qr code when he delivers ? appreciate clarification, i cannot see on k+ app for these type of online purchases

For those debit cardless , can you use the app for online purchase , from food panda, grab , lazada, others ? i am banking at kasikorn and have the app but always thought i needed the debit card for above. Any insights would be much appreciated. Thanks
