What are the yearly costs associated with maintaining retirement or long-term visas and what should expats expect to pay for healthcare coverage in Thailand?
Okay I thought I would ask 2 common questions.
1) what do you pay yearly to maintain retirement or long-term visas? For someone newish to Thailand.
2) what does adequate Healthcare coverage cost for expats, I have been looking And its seems to be going up in price.
Not looking for quotes just an idea of what to expect from people actually paying for it.
Thanks

Answer summary
Maintaining retirement or long-term visas in Thailand costs approximately 1,900 baht annually for the extension, assuming all financial and document requirements are met. The cost can vary slightly if a visa company is used instead. For healthcare coverage, expats might expect to pay anywhere from 34,000 baht per year to 1,200 USD annually, depending on age, health, and the insurance company.

Yearly 1,900 BHT to renew retirement visa if you do it yourself. A Visa company will charge a lot more to do for you.
Insurance depending on your age and coverage you want can be 1,100 to 1,200 USD per year and up.

You can qualify for a Retirement Visa if you are 50 years old or older.

Could give you what I pay but need more detail. Your retirement visa based on non O or non O-A ? Health insurance mandatory with a Thai company if you are O-A.

Depending on your age of course. I am 77 living permanently in Thailand for 17 years. Health insurance with AETNA, formerly known as BUPA. For 1 million baht inpatient cover i paid 175,000 baht last year. For the O-A mandatory 400,

,000 baht health cover, i upgraded my existing policy to add the 40,000 baht outpatient cover. That premium cost me 32,000 baht !! Because i joined BUPA before turning 60, they will insure me for life. Because of high cost i would not recommend AETNA to you. I do not have any separate COVID insurance cover. I dont know what other readers will tell you but i provide you with the actual reality. I know that (for a cost) many " Visa Agents" can secure your non O-A visa one year extensions without your having the mandatory health certificate for the IO.Chris *******
