Thanks again for replying and I understand all this, that is why I specifically said Khon Kaen Immigration. I also have made 5 extensions here and just wanted to know if this is still required or not.

What bank in the USA are you using?

Thaks for your reply, but I am still looking for an answer to my question.

Has anybody done a marriage extension lately in Khon Kaen using the monthly income method? I know you need to provide a copy of your bank book and a 12 month statement from the bank showing your foreign monthly transfers, but did they also require anything else from the bank to prove or guarantee your monthly foreign deposits like they did in the past? Thanks

What unique product/s have you seen that maybe I can sell in Khon Kaen?

This is very sad news. He truly was an incredible help to many people. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. ✌️❤️???? Ubonjoe will be sorely missed but never forgotten!

You are absolutely correct. They have super low rates to get you in, but first 6 months won't pay anything. After that, good luck in trying to get your money or directly paid to hospital. Never raise rates, so how is this possible when medical costs go up about 20% a year. If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Went to Khon Kaen Immigration today for my 90 day report and I was amazed to see the entire staff has been changed including the Captain. Not one person was there that I saw or used over the last 5 years. Does anybody know if this new staff is as friendly, nice and helpful as the previous staff, especially for one year extensions?

What is the best way to mail something to the SSA office in Manila? Airmail only or airmail with a requested proof of delivery? Also, how long does it normally take for Manila to receive mail from Thailand? Thank you!

I would just purchase the vitamins and supplements online at iherb.com They are very cheap and shipping costs are very low and sometimes free.

What city are you in?

Thanks, but my son was issued his passport when he was 2 years old and it was never renewed. That is why both parents are required to sign and we must present pictures of him over the years showing how he grew up and this is the same child.

I have been trying to make an appointment with the US Embassy in Bangkok, but I am having issues. Every time I fill out the form and click submit to make an appointment, the page says-The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator. Your support ID # is ........... I tried my computer on Edge and Chrome and tried my mobile and all the same thing. What am I doing wrong or how do I fix this? Thanks

I am an oldie as well with no tech knowledge. If I can do it, anybody can. Just follow the steps and it will all be fine. Just remember, when they ask for a phone number which only will allow US phone numbers, just leave it BLANK and GO to the next step. You will then be told your options. Never had an my SSA account before. Online account has no info for forms 7161 and 7162. Only done thru the mail. The instant video was done thry the camera on my laptop. No special software is needed, just your computer camera and microphone. Once you get approved, you can access BOTH SSA and IRS by using the ID.me to sign in.

Thank you for all your replies. Because of my health, I can't walk too much and I will going with my wife and son. He needs to renew his passport as he only has a child passport and both parents need to go with him and show pictures through the years. He is now 17 years old. I will check all the above for the best option for us.

Can anyone please recommend a decent hotel at a decent price that is close to the US Embassy in Bangkok? I also would like a decent breakfast. Thanks in advance

I did the entire process on my computer here in Thailand and used my Thai phone number and address. The 6 digit verification code comes to my Thai phone number. I did not use a VPN or a US Phone number. If I remember correctly, when it came to fill in the phone number, it only would allow a US number so I just skipped that and went to the next question. I think it was at that point they said I need to be verified online by a video call and I could do it immediately and pressed the button. Along with all the downloaded forms, on the video call, they asked to see my passport next to my face and clearly read the digital digits at the bottom. She was not able to call my Thai phone, but no problem, sent info to my email and everything will be ok. Like I said though, I do get my 6 digit code to log on directly to my Thai phone. The only way they will send the code to a foreign number is by text only. Good luck

If you received your March SSA payment, then you should be good to go as they said that payments would be suspended starting March this year instead of the usual February if they did not receive your 7162 form.

Yes, everything was done on my laptop from here in Thailand.

Understand, but just to be clear, I did the entire process online direct with ID.me. I did not make any calls and the SSA was not involved. I just went to the SSA website and hit the ID.me button and then hit sign up.

KhunLa and Sheryl, It can be done with a Thai address and phone number. I did it last year. It was cumbersome and you have to have a live interview, but I was approved on the spot. This is with ID.Me and the codes sent by them come to my Thai phone when I want to access my account.

I know that Bangkok Bank had some issues today, so maybe that is why you didn't get it today.

You can send from your bank in the USA to the Bangkok Bank New York by simply making a DOMESTIC transfer. This has nothing to do with SWIFT. It is a domestic transfer like transferring to any other USA bank. The USA does not use a SWIFT code.
