Hi friends, my DTV was approved (Muay Thai) and have a couple questions:

1. What health insurance provider is recommended for DTV holders? Searching around I see AXA or AIA, but would like to hear your thoughts.

2. Are DTV holders able to get a motorbike license in Bangkok? Just something small to get around.

Thank you!

AIA don’t accept DTV, AXA would be your best choice, can buy directly online, no need to go through a broker.

Highly recommend Either

@Robert ********

in Bangkok or

@Arawan ******

in Phuket.

Both are fine insurance agents and helped many thousands of people enter Thailand during the COVID reentry period.

Hi anonymous

My wife is a senior agent with AIA and AXA Thailand among others.

Currently AIA will not support the DTV visa.

However AXA Thailand will quite easily.

@Rob ******

because it’s a glorified tourist visa. Thai companies like AIA, Muang Thai Life, Prudential etc. only sell to long term residents.

Even banks are not recognizing the DTV as anything more than a tourist visa. We are hoping this will change next year, buts it’s too early to tell.

You can get a driver's license on any visa.
