Should I buy local health insurance before or after arriving in Thailand on a DTV?
Should I purchase local health insurance from nowconpare.com (e.g. Regency) before arrival on a DTV or after arrival using a local agent?
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around whether to purchase local health insurance before arriving in Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) or to wait and use a local agent after arrival. Recommendations suggest speaking with specialized expat insurance brokers, such as Tenzing Pacific Services or Jamie at expatcompares.com, as well as considering AXA for insurance before arrival. Some users caution against Regency Insurance, citing negative experiences.
