Hello. My parents are applying for a retirement visa from France and are being asked to either a foreign Insurance certificate (from their current insurance in France) or to subscribe to a local Thai insurance as per [[members only]/)
They are in their 70s and looking at the premiums that looks quite expensive.
Anybody has experience with this? What's the best way to proceed? [
