True statement or not, when it applies to foreigners?

 

I posted a related thread about retirement age for foreigners, and it's clear that although Thai teachers retire from government schools at 60 years old, this rule doesn't apply to foreign teachers.

 

But what about SS contributions?  Can a foreigner make SS contributions if more than 60 years old and legally employed at a government school?

 

Can someone who knows about this please advise me?

 

 

will be finding out soon

if you are on SS and with a WP before you are 60 years old you can continue getting the Insurance. If you start working after 60 you are no longer eligible. If you retire you can continue your insurance paying 432 baht monthly yourself. I have just went through this a couple of months ago when i retired as 62.

Was searching on internet related to Thai social security and came across this 2 page document in English. Part 12 is particularly helpful as many people ask about continuing their ss insurance after leaving employment.

Can anyone do this or do you need to be employed presumably

You have to be employed and paying into SS for at least 12 months.
