The legal aspect of an Attestation de Vita
Pensioners who have deregistered in the Netherlands and live in Thailand, for example, are familiar with the Attestation de Vita. It is written proof, which is required by pension funds, among others, to demonstrate that someone is (still) alive. This means that after the death of someone, the pension benefit is stopped.
Well, that will be an escape for me. Not all Thai banks just open a (EURO) account. The Dutch pension payers also do not always want to cooperate due to the high costs. And then those exchange costs in Thailand are not nothing. And that every month. Of course if the rule is followed.

Reader Submission: Paying with Free Debit Card in Thailand
As many of you know, in (online) shops in Thailand you can pay with Mastercard or Visa. Think of your daily groceries at Tesco or refueling. One quickly thinks of using a credit card from a NL/BE bank. I recently started paying in Thailand with a free debit card. The reason for this is lower costs and more security than paying with a credit card.
