Hi all, has anyone had difficulties getting Thai health insurance for an over 50 1 year retirement visa, when in remission (20 + years) for cancer and what would you expect to pay🤔
Summary so far
The post discusses challenges faced by individuals over 50 in securing Thai health insurance while holding a 1-year retirement visa, especially for those with a history of cancer in remission for over 20 years. It includes comments that clarify terms related to entry and re-entry into Thailand through border bounces and visa runs, indicating some community confusion about these terms. However, the original question regarding health insurance options for those with a prior cancer diagnosis remains unanswered.
