The world will heal itself...without us.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:32:46 +0000Think how easy it would be to complete a Form 7162 if we could just go to the My Social Security website and tick a few boxes. No provision for that. And no provision for those of us living outside the US to upload documents or change address/telephone number without contacting Manila or the phone lines. In the case of the latter, things have actually become worse. It used to be you could change your contact information on the website. Not any longer. I don't understand.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:32:33 +0000Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:32:31 +0000Yes but more disturbing is the woman saying " here's the cops, away back home" obviously worried that police would arrest them..shocking state the country is inTue, 09 Jun 2026 10:32:20 +0000there is no guarantee of entry to any country, however, if you follow the immigration rules and visa rules for a particular country the chances of being refused entry are extremely low.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:32:05 +0000Old black duck?

In my case, 3) proved a time-consuming process lasting a good 3-4 hours as we had the misfortune to deal with a particularly nit-picking official in the MFA, who went back and forth with us (resulting in us, in turn, going back and forth with our translator) until we were eventually able to come up with a translation with which he was fully satisfied. If, however, you can manage to find a translator who's prepared to engage in any backing-and-forthing with the MFA without the need for any involvement on your behalf, then all well and good! *My application was subsequently rejected by our amphur on the grounds that the Thai transliteration of my surname as stated in the certified translation endorsed by the MFA didn't exactly match my wife's as stated in her ID card and tabien baan - whereupon I threw in the towel and haven't looked back since! They could, but what would happen once any back-and-forth games with the MFA over the certified translation started in earnest?Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:27:05 +0000Many foreigners are refused entry with METV's and SETV's.
