Hello Thailand lovers,
I try to apply for a Non Immigrant O retirement visa at the Thai embassy in The Hague . 67 Year young and Dutch.
I read many times that for the Non Immigrant O retirement visa an health insurance was not required. It should be required for the OA version when I am corerect.
I am fully covered for medical issues by my Dutch health Insurance and an extra travel insurance.
Both insurances sent me an English coverage paper, but the specific amounts (as required by the embassy) they can't be/are not mentioned on it.
The Thai embassy requires a health care insurance now for the Non Immigrant O retirement visa and want me to take a 3th insurance.
Does anyone has experience in this matter?
