How to get your Thailand pension statement

ข้อมูลผู้ประกันตน (SSO)

Known in English as the Social Security Fund contribution record. Look for this name on the site — it may not be translated.

• Your Thai social security number, or the number issued against your passport if you were a foreign employee.
• Your Thai employers and dates, and whether you were insured under Section 33 (employee) or Section 39 (voluntary continuation).
• Your Thai bank account details, if you expect a payment.

1. 1
   Start at the SSO

   The Social Security Office administers the Thai Social Security Fund, which includes the old-age benefit.

2. 2
   Request your contribution record

   It shows the months contributed. The old-age benefit is a monthly pension after 180 months of contributions, and a lump sum below that.
3. 3
   Check whether you qualify for a pension or a lump sum

   This distinction decides everything else. Under 180 months, what you receive is a refund of contributions rather than a pension.
4. 4
   If you are a departing foreign worker, ask about the lump-sum refund

   Foreign employees who leave Thailand permanently can claim back their old-age contributions. The rules on timing and evidence are specific, so ask the SSO rather than assuming.
5. 5
   Save the record

   Keep whatever the SSO issues, and note the office that holds your file — Thai records are administered by the local provincial office.

The English site does not offer your record online

SSO services are largely Thai-language and often handled at the branch that registered you. A written request, or an authorised representative in Thailand, is the practical route from abroad.

Your employer registered you under a passport number you no longer hold

Provide both passport numbers and the employer's registration details so the office can match the file.

You contributed under Section 39 after leaving employment

Voluntary contributions count, but they lapse if payments stop. Ask specifically whether your Section 39 status is still active — many people assume it is.

Whether the SSO online portal issues a contribution record to a member outside Thailand.

Upload the statement to your vault and we'll read the figures out of it — balances, benefits, vesting and retirement ages — and tell you what changed since your last one.
