ORIGINAL POSTERThere is an insurance policy health insurance with Regency international offering low price of $US1134 designed especially for thai long stay...thailand only... immediate cover... covers outpatient 40000bht... inpatient 400000... no medical checkups.. no pre existing maybe this is the answer or at least some honest competition ????
TLDR : Answer Summary
Discussion revolves around Regency International's health insurance policy for Thai long-stay visas, particularly focusing on its cost, coverage, and acceptance by immigration offices in Thailand. Although it offers low premiums and immediate coverage, concerns are raised about its acceptability for visa extensions and the reputation of the insurer.

Regency for Expats are fine, but beware of their "semi-private" room clause for their cheaper policies.

said for applying for the O-A in your home come IF they sign the certificate BUT it isn't accepted for 2nd year and or subsequent extensions INSIDE of Thailand at immigration offices.Ron *******
@Adrian *****
of course there are better policys out there.You can take a better policy....as long as it's from one of those suppliers and meets the minimum requirements.

having looked at a few of the company’s offering long stay O-A health insurance. I see that they generally have a chart showing age & policy cost on a sliding graph. If this is long stay O-A health insurance why does the chart start before 50 & anyone younger would be crazy to take theses policy’s as much better out there. These prices are inflated & coverage amount is minimal it’s a over the barrel & being shafted scenarioRon *******

The handwriting is on the wall for those approaching elderly status 65-70 ++. They will be history. Not a good way to spend a relaxing retirement.

"O" Visas do not require insurance as of now. But, it's not a good idea to stay here with no insurance. I have coverage from my home country. Otherwise, I would not be here.

IF that company is not on the approved insurance provider list it won't work for anything BUT buying an O-A visa in your country before you come here. If you're wanting to get an extension of stay from the immigration office off an O-A visa you need to use one of the approved thai providers.
