Hi all, has anyone had difficulties getting Thai health insurance for an over 50 1 year retirement visa, when in remission (20 + years) for cancer and what would you expect to pay🤔
Answer summary
The post inquires about the difficulties related to obtaining health insurance in Thailand specifically for expats over 50 years old applying for a retirement visa, especially those who have been in remission from cancer for over 20 years. There are also discussions in the comments regarding immigration office timings and potential penalties for overstaying due to holidays, indicating concerns about processing documentation. Overall, while the original question focuses on health insurance, the comments point towards broader issues related to visa timing and immigration processes.
