A mate of mine in his 70's is applying in Ireland for his retirement visa.

Is there any Thai Insurance policies he could use as the Irish one are really expensive.

Thanks

For those living abroad or planning to move—what international health insurance do you use and would you recommend it? I’m starting to explore options and would love your input on what’s worked well (or not) for you. Thanks in advance!

LTR WP visa - health insurance: we applied one week after annual insurance renewal and it has now been about five weeks, so in two weeks we will have only 10 months remaining on our insurance. If we don't get the visa within two weeks, will we somehow need to extend our insurance coverage to hit 10 months again? This would be difficult as it's international insurance with annual premium. We were planning to do the e-visa through our embassy (Manila), but if they are slow perhaps doing it in Thailand would be better? Any comments from LTR holders with insurance (not money in bank) would be helpful. I have found BOI responsiveness not as good as advertised here.

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.

Medical vs travel insurance question for maximum 5 month stay.

I have just secured a 5 year DTV and arrive in Thailand next week. I plan on staying around 4-5 months before heading back to Europe for 2-4 weeks. Then back to Thailand and repeat this process.

Question, can I get travel insurance for the trip of 5 months, then do this again before I return for another 5 months or so stay, or do I need to purchase 12 months medical insurance.

I’m from the UK.

Thanks

Hi just a quick #insurance question

I got my evisa (spouse) and will travel to TH in 2 weeks. The visa is 90 days + later an extension

My question is - For how long should I buy a classic travel health insurance from the country of origin? When will I be able to buy "expat"sort of insurance in Thailan?

I mean - e.g. buy whatever travel insurance just for a week or two and quickly change for "expat" insurance inside of TH

Or buy travel for 90days and then I will be able to buy the other one?

What's your experience/recommendations?

Thanks alot!

Hello everyone, I would like to ask if there are any questions in the group about private health insurance to take out. And opinions, above all, based on experiences.

It’s more because I need to get annual medical insurance, and there are so many options that I get overwhelmed.

I'm not looking for the most expensive, exclusive, or premium insurance—just something that allows me to move forward as human.

Hi

I don’t know if this question has been asked before. Can I arrange an AO visa in the UK and have insurance by a UK company, or do I have to pay Thai Insurance prices? Which seem at best very expensive

Any help would be grateful

Hello, for the remote workers on DTV what travel insurance are you using if your base is Thailand?

I have been looking at different travel insurance policies but the limit for emergency medical is not high. Eg. Allianze most expensive travel insurance policy is limited to $112K for emergencies. I travel every month for work so looking for a comprehensive policy that covers delays, lost baggage etc, car rental insurance as well as health. Thanks 🙏🏾
