Why can't I pay US property taxes online while in Thailand?

Did you not know the USA is the center of the universe?.....according to many Americans.

I paid my US property taxes in January 2022, 2023 and 2024 while in Thailand. I used a PC for this. I don’t recall any issues using my PC.

Paid US federal taxes in April from Thailand using my PC.

I have a desktop PC in the US that I connect to remotely, but this is a bit cumbersome at times.

I had to change to T-Mobile so I can receive text messages while in Thailand at no extra charge. All my banking and financial accounts require the 2 factor authentication. I just switch between AIS SIM and T-Mobile SIM as needed.

I use SurfShark VPN as needed.i just bought an Apple MacBook Air to see if it is better.

I have YouTube TV, Prime Video, Max and many others with SurfShark VPN for all my US television viewing.

My Thai wife and I spend the winter 6 months (179 days) in Thailand annually.

It took plenty of trial and error to get this collection. Ongoing learning.

Hope this information helps someone

most countries you can’t pay your taxes from overseas online, lots of paperwork get a lawyer

My app detects I am using a vpn. Is there an anti-vpn-vpn? I use express von

Yesterday everyone with Microsoft components was not working, try again?

I can see why they would want to prevent scammers from scamming, but if YOU are trying to PAY them, not take money, why do they block it?

VPN or Google Fi phone and service in Thailand as a backup.

Sometimes it’s not just for security, but they don’t want you logging in from overseas, because if you are out of your own country, they don’t want you to have the account or have additional restrictions.

Try a VPN

You might also consider using a desktop computer to access. I personally have not had any trouble accessing any of my homeland websites directly. I know some websites have a special access via mobile and I sometimes have trouble with those.

What are you using to pay—your credit card or your normal bank account

10 years in Southeast Asia and no concerns

You should always have two things for stuff like this. 1. Open a Skype account if you don’t already have one. 2. Write down the toll free phone numbers for your bank accounts and what ever else might concern you. I now have three of my CC’s one ATM that I must call to make things happen, or not happen in the case of an actual fraud claim.

They think you are a scammer . I got blocked from a few accounts i tried using from Thailand

Had to wait till i got home and verify it was me

Some websites block access from overseas IP addresses for security reasons (e.g. fraudulent transactions, denial of service attacks, etc.).

To access these websites, you need to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service that connects you to a server in the country that is allowed to access the websites.

For example, to access the websites you mentioned, you need to connect to a VPN server in USA so that your IP address is from the USA. That way, the website thinks that you are accessing the website from USA.

I have been using NordVPN for 3 years for exactly this reason - so that I could log in to bank websites, retailer websites, etc. in my home country.

You need to use a vpn. They think it’s fraud when it’s from such a distant ip address

Need VPN.

Alot of web cannot work/access from oversea IP.

You need to use VPN because these websites do not accept connections from SE Asia due to the large number of hacking attempts that originate from this area.
