Thank you, everyone, for sharing valuable information!

Health Insurance. I’ve read a lot of posts on here. Long term retirement visa coverage. Not a short travel plan.

Seems like everyone is satisfied with all these companies until they file a claim.

So many poor reviews from ALL these companies. Either they refuse to pay claims or refuse to communicate with you, or the coverage/deductibles are just ludicrous.

Who do you put your trust in? Or is this just a roll of the dice?

I am moving to Thailand in June and looking for health insurance. I-Brokers were the only outfit that replied with quotes.

Does anyone have a recommendation between

IMG

April international

Allianz Ayudhya

HCI

Cigna

Optimum

Allianz is Thailand only and probably all we need

Any comments will be appreciated

Retirement move to phuket rawai area next year. Any good golf courses to join nearby.tnx in advance

Can anyone suggest a few different Muay Thai gyms in Bangkok that provide education visas? (that you have personal experience with) Please and thank you.

Is there anyone who has completed 6 months of DTV this month and has returned to Thailand after going to another country? What questions did Immigration ask?

Can someone enlighten me on what happens to your passport status after you sell up and move permanently to Thailand on a retirement visa

Assuming you have multiple years left before passport expires ,

Your Passport information will contain your now outdated old home address

should you inform your home embassy or consulate in Thailand and give them your Thailand address so that they can replace your current passport with a new passport showing your new Thailand address

Or What. ??

If you continue to use your passport with your now outdated address could you be denied entry into your home country due to you sharing the same address as the people who bought your old home and now have passports of their own

Comments welcome

Sooo like… I’m 19, my only job is being on TikTok and I just found out y’all have a DIGITAL NOMAD VISA??

Quick question tho — can I get the Thailand DTV visa if I’m like… kinda famous on TikTok?

I don’t really have a *job-job* but I post dances, GRWMs, and daily vibes. I made like $400 last month so technically I’m a digital worker, right??

I just *really* need to leave my home country… the vibes are off, my ex still lives here, and I think I’m allergic to cold weather!

Do I have to like… prove I pay taxes or something? I’m kinda new to all this stuff but I’m a quick learner (unless it’s math)

Let me know if I can qualify pls
