Can Americans change their Social Security Administration (SSA) bank account from a US bank to a Thai bank online?

Bob *********

You can do that, but your new ssa account in Thailand won't have a debt card and you will start getting the "are you dead letter". If you don't mail it back within a month, they will stop your payments till they receive it in america

How Do I Meet the Health Insurance Requirement for LTR Wealthy Pensioners Visa in Thailand?

Bob *********

Forget LTR,, just do 60 day visa exceptions and visit another country every 60 days. Have fun and don't get caught up with all the rules. When you exceed 180 days, come back to america before you become a tax resident of thailand

Can I convert my retirement visa funds into a fixed deposit account in Thailand?

Bob *********

Dream on. Your moving 800,000 baht to Thailand for a visa. You are not going to get much interest. If you want to keep the money in your home country get a DTV visa for a boxing, Thai language, or cooking class.

Can I re-enter Thailand after extending a 60-day visa exempt at a land border?

Bob *********

If you go across the land border yourself, you have to stay out for a few days. If you want to come back right away you need to go with a border run agent who has a relationship with the border office and can pay into the coffee fund
