I think he said Indonesia online.

Thanks. Heading in tomorrow and was looking for this info!

I've heard them ask several others to login to their bank account and show the balance, but this is wild. Especially if not every medical facility would be in their system.

Anonymous participant I'd try again at another less strict embassy. I'd try with soft power.

You’re welcome ☺️

I would recommend talking to your local office. I have lived abroad for over 7 years. SSA is aware of this and they have my Thai and Cambodia addresses on file. I still have my American address with my family as well. I've went through SSDI recertification a few times since living abroad with no issues. If you're upfront and find out what you need to do ahead of time you'll be ok. Thailand is one of numerous approved countries on SSA list of places you're able to receive your SSDI pension as well. Hope this helps. 😊

That's not fraud. I literally told SSA I was moving abroad and contacted them with my Thailand address. I even had to do the recertification a few times since living abroad, with my Malay and Thai doctors information. There's no problems. Thailand is also on the approved list of countries you can receive your pension if you wish to send your direct deposit there.

I'm like everyone else. 10,000 baht?

I've never been asked for onward travel ticket in my 5 years living in Thailand. If you have a ticket to Malaysia or form Malaysia to the UK, I'm sure this will suffice if asked.

May I ask what agency please. I'm looking to move back next year. Definitely need help with it as well. 🙏🏼
