Hi Everyone,
My name is Dirk, 77 years, retired Belgian National, residing in Bangkok since many years.
I just came into this group and hope to enjoy the membership.
Allow me please to draw on your travel experiences and the conditions to fulfil when returning to Thailand after having passed some time abroad.
More precisely, does anyone know if, as a retired resident with a non-immigrant O visa, I have to present a health insurance certificate mentioning a minimum amount coverage on arrival at the airport?
I thank you in advance for the help and advice you would send me.
Cheers,
Dirk
