Due to an unforeseen event in my life, I have ramped up my move Thailand from next year Jan to April this year (8 weeks). I’m pretty happy about this, but snowed under getting stuff done in 8 weeks I was planning to get to over 10 months.
I’m at a loss what to do with medical insurance. I’m in the USA, a USA citizen and planning to come to Thailand on a 3 month Non immigrant O, tie up some loose ends there and then switch to a retirement visa in a few months. I’m at a loss what to do regarding health insurance. I’m losing my health insurance on March 1 in the US. I was wondering if I sign up for something like a Cigna Global/International Health insurance would suffice?
I’m not looking for my best option, simply for an option that would work and give me time to do some research. I’m a little lost at the moment.
Advice appreciated.
