If u get your visa inside Thailand u don't need insurance. U can then get a heath policy that suits your needs not the visas needs for entering.

OP@William *******
I think I need covid for the duration of my retirement visa. Right? William ********
@Danger *****
ASC . Luma. Are decent at pricing. I done it through arawan namak. I'm going in on 30 days on entry and sort out retirement visa inside Thailand. 30 days insurance ASC 1666 bt 36 euro for covid and health 150 k cover. Luma 3100 bt 62 euro same sort of cover.

You need insurance now to enter Thailand irrelivant of which visa you have and it must be valid for the duration of your stay. I think its cheaper to buy the inurance from within Thailand though.

@Andy *******
if u buy your retirement visa before entering Thailand yes. If u have the seasoned funds in Thailand no. You would enter on a tourist visa and if your staying for 3 months go through the process of getting retirement visa in Thailand. Depends what suits you. William ********
@Andy *******
if u go in with a 30 day entry on arrival with 30 days covid and heath insurance... acs 1666 bt for 1 month cover. U can go through the retirement process by applying for 90 days then run that down to when u would apply for a new retirement visa. no obligation for insurance when retirement visa granted. if your spending most of your time in thailand id say its best to do it in thailand if u have the seasoned funds. u can open a sterling account if u dont want to have a baht account.Andy ********
@William *******
Thats how it used to be but everyone who enters Thailand now needs to apply for a Thai Pass and to get that you have to upload your insurance in the Thai pass application process..... I know this as I'm just trying to get back and have a retirement visa already issues in country William ********
