Hi folks, I am a UK Citizen and have lived in Bangkok for over a year. I am having a lot of trouble getting my 'DWP Proof of Life certificate' signed.

So far I have tried the police station, my bank, my pharmacist and even the Tax Office where I pay my taxes, but no one wants to sign it for me.

It doesn't help that it is written in English and the people I have asked are unable to read it.

I have translated it to Thai via Google App Translator, but that does not seem to have helped any.

They have all told me that they are afraid to sign it in case they get into trouble.

It would really be helpful if we could just take it to the British Embassy, but I have heard that they would not sign it for me.

Any assistance or advice anyone could give me would truly be appreciated

Have you heard anything about the fact that if you are an employee, the company you work for remotely from Thailand should pay social security contributions to Thailand?

I’m trying to figure out the best way to retire and live in Thailand 6 months and US 6 months. If I get a retirement visa, can I avoid the deposit 800,000 baht deposit without depositing my SSA check directly in a Thai bank? Suggestions?

My employer based in Germany wants to know if there are any requirements for him if I work for him permanently in Thailand with the DTV.

He is aware that tax and social security matters need to be clarified. But are there any other requirements that need to be taken into account?

He is worried that he will have to deal with the Thai authorities.

I am moving out of the country by the end of January of 2025. Is it ok to use a U.S. address for my U.S. banking accounts and social security or best to report my new address in my new country? I am worried about future consequences.
