I still did not receive my second check by mail to Bangkok, mine was mailed jan 6 too.

My daughter in the US still has not gotten her check yet as of yesterday evening here.

Filed through OLT (online taxes) free filing program. Waiting to see if everything is okay. It gets sent out February 12th. Hopefully this year no mistakes are made in the system and I receive both year's stimulus for myself and daughter.

Not to worry too much about that Jan 6th date.

 

Most of us here in the USA that also were slated to have it mailed on Jan 6th are only getting it now. (last week of Jan)

Jan 6th I think was actually the beginning of processing

 

Secondly this time........no check was mailed

Instead they sent a credit card that can be used of course as a credit card but also as a debit card at a ATM

or over the counter withdrawals at the bank (in USA I know it worked not sure about Thailand)

 

I think they may be intending to reload these in the future as they said to keep the empty card.

 

Not sure how this would work for those in Thailand because when we lived in Chiang Mai ...three times we tried to have a credit card mailed

to us & each time it was stolen/went missing...Until we sent it registered express mail then we got it

I received one of these cards at my relatives house in USA.  I was able to call the 800# to verify my identity and register the card.  Immediately I was able to use the card's website to transfer the card balance to my US bank via ACH.  Funds were shown the next day as a pending deposit to my checking account.  I don't know why the Feds didn't just do an ACH deposit directly to my checking account.  I have sent the IRS payments from that account so they know the details already.

Hopefully it would not be lost mysteriously by mail especially if it is a debit card stimulus check, i know USPS facing great obstacles currently delivering mail.

USPS said all should be expecting delays getting their mails especially overseas, wish IRS issued tracking numbers to follow up on it

Ours was supposed to be processed on the 6th.  We received it about the 26th Jan.

 

Slow mail delivery in the U.S. has been a problem during the holiday season.  I mailed a couple letters Dec. 12th.  One took 30 days.  The other took 40 days to go less than 200 km. I sent a small booklet to Finland and it arrived before the two letters.

I just filed using Taxact. $5.27 because I had to file Minnesota (for the last time thank God). Federal was free.

 

$1800 of my refund was the stimulus I didn't receive previously due to making too much last year.

Yeah that  is the thing...If you can get the card it is quite easy to transfer to any account you have etc.

 

Luckily you had yours delivered to US address

 

As for the direct deposit....I know many here wonder the same...some get it some don't & no rhyme or reason to it.

I mean I get SS direct deposited each month so my info is there...But I guess different branches of the govt etc etc

 

In any case glad you got your card ;)

My 600 came to my parents house last week....paper check.  I just got a new travel medical card sent to my condo, here, from the US.. it took about 17 days.

My mailed second paper stimulus check did not arrive yet to Bangkok and do not know if anyone here got their checks yet.

I haven't.

[jeffandgop]

No 2nd check for me yet, which we all believe from the IRS website was to be mailed 6Jan......but I did receive a 1099 tax statement mailed on 21 Jan by my last employer!

It seems like no one in Thailand received their second mailed stimulus check yet.

People with direct deposit of SS to a Thai bank have gotten their money. People with snail mail are still waiting.

Yes true only mailed checks not been received yet.

In this topic within this forum- "U.S. Topic -- President Biden's Covid Stimulus Plan Includes Temporary $200 Monthly Raise in Social Security", it was just posted that they received the next round of stimulus money by mail in Thailand...curious if others like us will see the money this week.....

[zlodnick]

The wife just got her $600 check in the mail today 

 

[ricklev]

I received my $600 paper check at my Bangkok condo yesterday.

[Why Me]

Got the $600 stimulating check today by regular mail here at my Bkk address.

[zlodnick]

Just went to the post office to mail my wife's check to our daughter in the US so she can deposit it in our bank. I was told the price of EMS has increased.  Was, 880 bt, now 1,555!!!

[DFPhuket]

I received my $600 in Phuket today and used my banking app to deposit it into my US bank account.The first check took two months to arrive and this one "only" 5 weeks.  It was mailed on January 6th.

[dekestone]

Got mine today as well ($600). This one, like the previous one, was sent to my Bangkok apt. address. Don't know why they don't d.d. it into my Stateside bank as they did that with a previous tax refund, so they should have the info.

Got my check yesterday, kasikornbank would not deposit it in my account, krungthaibank got a six month holding time period before accepting to deposit it. Any Bank here accepts stimulus checks?

Good reason to get direct deposit here or an American bank that will except a copy of the check emailed or faxed to them. 

[Sheryl]

Got mine today too

Have you checked your US banks web site or app for mobile deposit? This will allow you to upload pics of the back and front of your check and have it credited.
