Escape route

Intro

Lets say that you want to leave Sweden and have a sick pension and want to go to Thailand and live there.

You want to get away from this system in Sweden.

In Thailand if you are a strong man you could easily provide for yourself just by your physical strength and if you have a girlfriend that has her own house then you could live there.

What you would do first is probably to change the bank account registered for receiving your sick pension at the Swedish state insurance to another bank, to a bank that exist in Thailand that you can enter once you are in Thailand and take out money there.

Possibly you could transfer your sick pension to an international bank that exist in both Sweden and Thailand. Such as Citibank, Standard Chartered Bank , HSBC. They probably or at least some of them exist in both Sweden and Thailand. You would have to call them. Most likely in Sweden they would have their office in Stockholm.

Alternatively transfer your sick pension to a bank in Thailand that caters to expats, such as Bangkok Bank, Kasikornbank, Siam Commercial Bank.

Once you have sorted out the bank stuff and have your sick pension going to this bank you could probably cancel the contract of your apartment, store your stuff somewhere and prepare to leave Sweden.

This way you would get away from the problems of a welfare state like Sweden.
