Tawai Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi to you aliens (sic) working in Thailand! I have tried get info regarding SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS TO BE USED FOR APPLYING FOR THE COMPENSATION BENEFITS on SSO website http://www.sso.go.th/wpr/eng/retrie.html There is this one repuirement which confuses me: A copy of the Citizenship Identity Card Does that mean that only Thai citizens, or "Aliens" with resident status, are entitled to old age benefits? Would appreciate to receive anwers from readers with experience or reliable knowledge on this issue. My try to contact SSO via email gave me just a return mail in Thai, saying to call their 24 hour 1506 call center. Which I may do, if I am not able to get an answer on TV in English.

SamMunich Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 My best guess is, that a passport will be sufficient to qualify as "A copy of the Citizenship Identity Card". When I applied for voluntary extention of paying Social Security according to Art. 39 all they wanted to see to "identify" me was a passport (and a copy for their file). As for contacting them, for one there is a number "for English press X", when you call them. The other - and better - way is to go to their office. If you're in BKK, go to their headoffice next to the Labour Department in Din Daeng. If your Thai isn't good enough, take a friend with you to translate. In general they are very helpful!!!

beano2274 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 i have and at the time I used my passport, but I also have a yellow book. Citizenship document to prove your nationality, not to prove Thai citiizenship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
