I’m planning to come over to Thailand from Scotland in December to Marry my Thai Fiancé and setup life to stay in Thailand. Can someone please advise what is the requirement for life insurance, do I need it for visas to stay in Thailand, can I buy it in the UK but will Thai government accept it if required?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post seeks guidance on life insurance requirements for a Scottish expat planning to marry his Thai fiancé and settle in Thailand. Various comments clarify that life insurance is not a requirement for visas in Thailand, but health insurance is crucial, especially for COVID-19 coverage. It is suggested that the individual starts with a NON-O visa and that some have had success using local Thai insurance companies. Additionally, some recommend considering an extension based on retirement as an easier alternative to the marriage visa process.
