I'm thinking about moving to Thailand permanently when I retire at 64. (from Sweden)

I have some pre-existing health issues in my medical history, so I'm trying to get a better understanding of retirement visas and health insurance options for expats in my situation.

Has anyone gone through this process themselves, or can recommend a trustworthy agency that specializes in retirement visas and insurance for retirees?

Hi, I’m applying for a retirement Visa this year, but not until November, for all my Visa needs. I’ve always gone through “Thai Visa Centre”; type it into Google Ask for “Grace”. They're really trustworthy, and I’m going to be getting my retirement Visa through them.
