I did not receive anything so far and taking the advice from the other thread on this subject and contacted the Manila office, this is what they said. Thank you for contacting the Social Security Administration's Federal Benefits Unit at the U.S. Embassy in Manila. *********** Please note that not all beneficiaries will receive the reporting form SSA-7162 / SSA-7161 this year. If a beneficiary is not selected to receive the form this year, the beneficiary will receive the form next year. If you have not received the form yet, you will likely receive it next year. Please also note that the form mailed out is barcoded specifically for each beneficiary and, as such, is not available online. I have read thru the 2020 thread and didn't see anything like this discussed. The others talked about reporting thru Manila after November. I started SS payments 2 years ago and with Covid no forms were sent out so have never reported. I was under the impression that Thailand was every year report, maybe something changed? Do I just wait until January and hope that the payment arrives? Thanks

Are you using WIFI if so it's better to hardwire your device to the router. Try unplugging both your device and router regularly to reset the connections. You should be able to clear the cache on your app by following the settings menu.

Just did a transfer at 1245 PM and was limited to 20,000 THB. Only took 6 seconds to arrive. Hopefully back to normal soon but it is strange.

What you will need to do is get a visiting family 60-day extension to give you time to season your 400,000 deposit. It needs to be in the bank 60 days before and to be safe 30 days after application until you receive 1 year stamp. My office likes this method over the monthly transfer. It is much less hassle to do a regular ext. but you need 65,000/month or 800,000 deposit.

For sure don't bin it, someone could use it. You could donate it or to make a few baht contact an auction house to sell on consignment.

I'm in Rayong and still waiting. You would think filing a federal tax return and FBAR would suffice to prove that I'm still alive.

I've bought tons of stuff from Collingbourne in the past , not much I'm interested in now looking at the website. It was an interesting place on auction day and pretty good food too.

Kinda like eating the worm when you finish a bottle of Tequila.

I much prefer a pipe. Back in the day the person who ended up with the roach ate it.
