Among the health insurance brokers operating in Thailand, such as I-Brokers, Pacific Prime, etc.. Which one do you think is the largest and most reliable, with excellent after-sales service, able to support the customer in case of problems with the insurance?

I am trying to decide if I should apply in Jakarta or Manila. It seems like Jakarta is much more popular, although both seem to have similar requirements. Any reasons for that?

Update : The visa finally got approved!! โœ…โœ…โœ…

๐Ÿ—“๏ธMy timeline ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

- 29May : Finished the application almost at midnight

- 30May : "Pending Document Checking 1 "

- 5 June : "Pending Approval 1 "

- 11 June: Visa got approved and received Email

๐Ÿ“ŒTotal working days = 9 days ( I include 2-3June holiday because some people got approved that day too)

Thank you so much to this group that shared a lot of useful information and support!!

------

I would like to know if anybody who apply from Hanoi get approved with more than 5 working days since the status change to "pending approval"

I applied on 29May after office hour then the status changed to "pending document checking" next day 30May

Then 5June status was changed to "pending approval" and no additional documents were requested.

Since the majority of people who post their successful story here got the approval so fast (even they applied after I did mine)

So I just want to know if I should go following up at the embassy or just keep calm and waiting.

TIA.๐Ÿ™

also confirming i got my dtv approved today @ phnom penh cambodia, aus passport, living in thailand 2 years (1st year visa runs + 2nd year ed language visa)

-submitted on 16th may via issa compass visa agent

-remote worker

-only had the 500k thb in my account for 3 days before submission (still have it on me in case)

-was not asked for further docs or interview

-upon arriving in cambodia, was told by agent that its become an up-to-a-month process here now

enjoyed my stay in cambodia, no regrets, and to all those that wanna cry about paying for an agent--- kk bro we get it youre the coolest smartest guy known to man... id rather pay a $100-150 for peace of mind + saving my time + having application fee reimbursed if worst case.. i.e. having as much % chance of successful outcome... but i guess im the fool, right?

was going to originally return to thailand via land border, but due to current border dispute just gonna fly + vip fast track

I have friends that are moving to Thailand and are wanting to get on the DTV Visa, most likely under the digital nomad category. Has anyone successfully opened a bank account? Is there an agency that is able to help them open an account? Husband and wife would both like bank accounts! Thanks for any help and sorry if this has been answered multiple times!
