All online application and submitted through mail. No visit for passport renewals now. Just did one in March and we had it in our possession in less than 3 weeks.

The 50,000 limit was for spending transactions if you didn’t do the extra biometric face scan step. If you haven’t done this step at the branch you can’t transfer out more than 50,000. After you complete this step when you do a larger transfer the app will require facial scan to prove it’s you.

Also try a different internet browser or a tablet or PC as sometimes people like myself had trouble with Apple Safari.

There isn’t a specific visa for SSA disability. There are ones based on age (50+), based on marriage to a Thai citizen, based on education at college or university, based on paying a lot of money for elite visa status, based on working remote, etc. but none based on disability only.

Foreign medical program in Thailand and some hospitals will bill direct depending on the service. Only service connected items are covered by FMP and it requires registration with the VA team in Colorado. They will send a letter and that is what you will provide the hospital. If they don’t bill direct you will self pay and request reimbursement. Specific rules about the paperwork used for reimbursement so check VA FMP for details.

ok. I’ll tell you exactly what it took to open my two bank accounts. Both required long term visa, both require current certificate of residence with the reason stated as open bank account. Maybe you should stop with your comments and learn what is required right now.
