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.

Greetings to the awesome DTV visa community here that has been so helpful to many people including myself🙏🩵🇹🇭🌴 I have a question and excuse me as I’m sure this has been asked many times before.

I currently have 90 day travel insurance. I will be staying in Thailand as long as possible on this trip. I might be able to get another 90 day insurance policy, but in the long run I need a policy that will cover me monthly as long as I need it.

I appreciate anybody’s help as to recommendations for a quality and inexpensive insurance program for foreigners here in America. Thank you in advance to everybody who offers good solid advice here. Have a great day!

Hi Guys,

I got my DTV approved from HCM today 5th March afternoon.

Nationality: Italian

Digital Nomad Workation (Owner and director of a UK LTD)

Here the details:

1) Applied Friday 28th February night:

- Stamp on the passport and arrival boarding ticket as a proof of current location in Vietnam

- Bank statement of only 3 months with more than 500,000 baht for all the 3 months in the account (my bad I didn't upload directly the 6 months bank statements)

- Proof for the status of digital nomad: quick introduction about the company, incorporation documents and certificate, proof of transactions and 2 examples of contract with the related bank transfers

2)Monday 3rd March morning I received a request for additional documents:

- Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : A deposit account shows the transactions last 6 months and the account balance or a combination of a deposit/saving account totaling not less than 500,000baht. Stock/Crypto/Bitcoin/Investment/Business/PayPal account and sponsor are not accepted.

- Other request documents: Provide a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements.

- Other request documents: Provide motivation letter

For point 1) I attached the Bank statements of 3 banks of the last 6 months (because some of them were in Italian language).

For point 2) I attached the full description of every point (vision, mission etc), I explained all the process with example and pictures of how I create the product/services and how I sell it. I specify that my business is NOT related or has any interest with any kind of Thai entities.

For point 3) I mentioned real interest for Thai culture and I will be honored to have the possibility to stay in the kingdom. I mentioned again that my business is running 100% remotely and do not have any interest in the kingdom. I mentioned again that I can sustain myself and I have health insurance for emergency.

3) Tuesday 4th March morning went to pending approval.

4) Today 5th March approved in the afternoon.

Thanks to everyone for the info 🙏🏻

In telling of my experience, others will learn some valuable information. Unfortunately, this information will not help some of the audience here.

I have a US passport, 68 yo, United Healthcare Medicare Advantage plan, no Thailand Health Insurance, Non-O marriage visa, live in Ratchaburi for 6 months each year.

Starting in mid-December I contracted a medical condition that sent me to the ER 5 times. 3 visits to Bangkok Hospital Ratchaburi, 1 visit to Ratchaburi Hospital and 1 visit to Bamrumgrad Hospital.

All of the claims that I submitted electronically to my US health insurance were paid. Some were reimbursed 100% and others around 80%.

Most US Medicare Advantage plans will reimburse you if you are overseas, except Puerto Rico and a few other exceptions. Care on a cruise ship is covered the same way. You are not covered if you are outside the US for longer than 6 months in that year.

I researched this in July 2024 and used it in December 2024 and January 2025.

Hi! Which health insurance is recommended for US citizens travelling to TH?

Hi! How do I apply for insurance for a 15 day tourist visa- traveling from Namibia? Thanks!

Non-Immigrant O-A visa. For retirement question.

Anyone willing to share what they or their friends 😄 may have paid for their insurance

I know and welcome all informed advice on the costs of insurance that has been paid.

For an exact figure only a personal quote will give me a definite answer.

Doing my groundwork on an advice group at this moment in time.

Can anyone give an example of what they paid for compulsory basic insurance for this O-A visa monthly or yearly figures

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

Health insurance

Hi! Can someone please recommend a local health insurance. Doesn't need to be fancy with outpatients etc. Just in case of emergencies/inpatient for a couple of months. I'm already living in Thailand so can't get travel insurance from my home country. Any advice appreciated, thank you

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.
