What health insurance options are available in Thailand for retirees with pre-existing conditions?
Hello, I want to spend my retirement in Thailand. I will travel to Thailand on a family visa for good and I want to get insurance there but unfortunately I have pre-existing conditions. I have already read a lot about this topic regarding pre-existing conditions but unfortunately I haven't found anything suitable. What kind of health insurance can you recommend that you have had good experiences with and is affordable? Please no answers that are not related to this topic.

Others mention the challenges of finding suitable coverage, stressing the importance of consulting an insurance expert.

You won’t find coverage. Just get an Elite visa. No insurance required👌🏻

c'est pas bon du tout si vous avez des pathologies, j'ai discuté avec un vendeur d'assurance qui parle français a jomtien Pattaya et il m'a dit que les assurances n'accepte pas de rembourser les pathologies et que on peut pas tricher car si vous avez une maladie ils découvriront si vous l'aviez déjà en France ou pas, sinon vous pouvez faire 6 mois Thaïlande, 6 mois France , beaucoup font ça

Seek a professional insurance agent or broker. Sure they make money from their jobs, but not using one will not lower your premium (you will not pay a higher premium for using one).

You can try with a global policy. Big companies such as Allianz or Cigna have policies that can cover you worldwide except US, they can cover life conditions under some circumstances. The only problem is expect to pay not less than USD 5000 a year

I don’t know many insurance companies that will cover you - age and pre existing conditions make it very hard

What do you mean you haven’t found anything suitable ? Have you already contacted companies or agents ?

Affordable will cost you an arm and a leg mate

In which case it’s not really “affordable” then is it?

Cigna Global will take into account whether your pre-existing conditions could be regarded as 'resolved' or 'controlled'. Most other companies will simply exclude them.
