Good hope it works out for you once you get all your papers to gether go to your local MSD center get them to sight your paper work passport ectopic then they can scan them directly to MSD international hope this helps you
when I first changed I got them to pay into my thai bank but there exchange rates are not good so emailed them and they changed it . But when they pay into your thailand bank it every four weeks or into your NZ bank it goes back to every 2 weeks
I moved to thailand 11 months ago and I get the full amount you can get them to pay it into your thai bank or into your NZ bank as I do just talk to MSD international not your usual MSD office they're very helpful
