What is the cheapest health insurance for over 50s applying for a retirement visa in Thailand?

Congratulations Anthony. Health is everything. Hope you find a good policy.

WrLife.

Is it actually a reauirement for the retirement visa?

AXA is where I went. They know exactly what you need.

I went to Bangkok hospital, saw 2 doctors within 30 minutes , one for my eyes one for stomach, place was spotless, £40 , would have cost me more for prescriptions in the uk , even though are is supposedly free ?

My Wife 60F and I 57M went through Budget Direct, their premiums were fine, and covered us for that evacuation worry. Hope your search is successful.

I’ve done a lot of research on differing companies. The one that always showed up offering the cheapest premiums is the one that has terrible reviews for not paying out. So, cheapest isn’t the best solution as is usually true for everything.

Hello There Anthony Pike, If you're looking for the cheapest health insurance to meet Thailand’s over-50 retirement visa requirements, the CEO of HealthCoverNow can help you find a budget-friendly policy that covers accidents and emergencies without unnecessary extras.

Check out for expert recommendations on cost-effective plans that meet visa rules. Hope this helps, and happy early birthday!

A “cheap” policy that fulfills the visa requirements is going to have very high limits where you’ll be paying a lot before it kicks in. I had that my first year, but I switched to a more comprehensive plan that covered more, but of course cost more. Choose your poison.

Hi

@Peter ******

, I'm always seeing comments on many different groups from

@Rachel ******

(I'm guessing your wife) recommending you as a financial advisor. Rachel usually states that you have access to 100's of health insurance providers.

I've tried asking Rachel before for a list of these 100's of providers...

I'm curious Peter, out of these 100's of providers, how many are actually any good, surely many of them aren't even worth a pinch of salt. Or do you believe the 100's of providers you have access to are all respectable and reliable options?

Out of those providers, who are the most reliable health insurance providers for expats living in Thailand? I struggle to even find a handful with decent reviews.

For example, who are the top 3 in your opinion? Not talking about cheap plans that don't pay out when you need it most, but insurers that actually pay directly to the hospital when the bill is over ฿1mill ? Cheers, looking forward to your response.

Thats the only problem coming to Thailand from Australia especially on retirement visa AU has free Hosp -medical.😎😎😎

Talk to

@Arawan ******

insurance broker here in Thailand. She can give you a cover to suit your own situation. She has helped many expats over the years

I agree. No medical insurance for me. I'm 75. If the need arises, I'll fly home for treatment.

Are you required to have local health insurance? If so, you will be given a list you must choose from, pick a low price and take the maximum deductible to minimise the cost. If not, you may be better off with travel insurance and flying home (gotta pain? Take a plane ..) You can be sure there are no policies in Thailand that will look after you near as well as the Australian option.

Cheapest - surely the quality of cover is central to such an important decision
