Billy, the date of my NOA1 is March 16th. I mailed it in on March 9th and had no idea about IMBRA...wish I had!

Hi SMGX4000

Yes..I can see why your petiton were sent back, because your NOA1 is after March 6. I hope everything will work out soon for you. Best of Luck to you

I am looking into the advantages of living in Thailand after I retire. Do any of you know an American that is retired and living in Thailand that I could contact? I have many questions and have only found some of the answers on the internet. Most of the sites I’ve found deal with Americans living and working in Thailand. I don’t plan to work. I just want to sit back and enjoy not having to shovel snow in winter! My retirement is still down the road but Ying and I are starting to plan now and we are considering buying a house in Thailand within a year or 2.

Hey Gene,

Long time no post ...I know a Thai - falang couple that will be moving to Chiang Mai area in 2009...they are also in the market for a home and are continually looking around...The falang husband knows a contact in Thailand....I will let him know about your inquiry and I will send you a private email, perhaps you two can communicate and take it from there!! Hope all is well, take care...

Jean, Ton and I are also planning to move to Thailand. I haven't really done that much research yet, but we plan on doing that in a couple of years...

The funny thing I think most of us plan on moving back to Thailand. Su and I have plans to build a small vacation home in Nakhon Si Thammarat at first. This is still a few years off but in the plans.

Dan,

I already received a few contact email addresses. I gladly share any information I receive.

I'm off to Thailand this Thursday. I'll be there 2 weeks for work. Unfortunately Ying will not be able to come along.

Ditto!

Jass and I are expecting to move there in 5 years...I have had enough of work!

I know I certainly want to retire there, but like a few others have said, it's still a few years down the road... unfortunately.

It sounds like most of us will be in Thailand in the years to come. We can plan some reunions and parties all the time!

Sounds good. So tell me C.J. did your SS card have your wifes maiden name on it? I tried to get one with my wifes new name but no luck. Just finished the biometrics so maybe the work card will have her new name. What's your opinion fellow VJ'ers???

Hello ALL

We also will be headed to Thailand when I retire!!

Also on the packet 4 letter. The interview for my friend is the 20th .. Still no packet 4 . He is worried his girl will not be admitted to the interview if she does not have it. They have a list of names the lady at the door checked that we were on b4 she let us in. There was a long holiday also and it has delayed the mail more. What should be done here. We have emailed the embassy but no response yet.

Hi Denis

I think you need to tell your friend to tell his fiancee to go to the embassy to pick up packet 4. My ex-wife was told from the embassy to pick up packet 4. That was in 2003.

Dennis,

Like I said previously, the packet 4 contains a personalized interview letter with the beneficiarys name, address, and case number.

If your friends fiancee lives in BKK, you could try to go and ask for the packet 4. Otherwise, if it doesn't arrive in the mail, and you get no email reply from the Cosulate, just have her show on interview day as scheduled.

That is if it's convenient to do so.

Hopefully, it will come in the mail prior to the interview date.

We would also like to move back to Thailand when I retire... there are so many things and so much time between now and then, unless I hit POWERBALL tonight!

Coz, G Dubya said so!
