ORIGINAL POSTER

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!

Sweet *****

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.
