The help I need is can I enter on the 30 days and change to marriage or retirement.on the covid ins I see arawan namak recommended for insurance can anyone give me a contact e.mail Oris there any other recommendations with e Mail address. I'm a UK citizen 65 year old. My old retirement visa ran out.

A UK citizen plans to return to Thailand after November 1 under the new rules and is seeking guidance on entering with a 30-day visa while qualifying for a retirement or marriage visa. They mention having COVID insurance and are looking for recommendations, particularly for a provider named Arawan, and have received advice on how to contact them through Facebook.

I just contacted Arawak last night. All I did was do a Friend request in Facebook. She responded quickly and then we started talking.
