Can anyone recommend a good long-term health insurance for the multi Thai DTV Visa?

Also, can people please tell me roughly how much they pay because I’ve got quotes that are super super high and just wasn’t expecting it to be that much money

I do also need to be covered for obviously the Muay Thai and also diving

Thank you !

Do you need a health insurance policy for the DTV? If yes, then for how long?

Hey folks, I’ve been looking into medical insurance to cover me while in Thailand on a DTV. I was hoping to get something that would cover me for years with guaranteed renewals. But, I’ve been told that the local Thai insurers can’t cover me for long term health cover, because I’m officially a tourist, they can only offer travel insurance.

Seems the only option is the big international (expensive) providers.

Has anyone had any luck with long term medical cover?

I have just got a retirement visa until December 2026. I am just wondering how that affects my travel insurance, I currently have a yearly worldwide travel insurance bought travelling from uk . I just wondered if anyone had any issues continuing to use this type of insurance after getting a retirement visa. I suppose the insurance could say I am not travelling if I have visa, or do you think they known the complexities of travel in Thailand. I don’t stay any more than 6 months and I do go to other countries . I am going to get a psa test , not through insurance but the hospital needs to see my passport so it made me think if I ever had a medical emergency then would the hospital declare to the insurance company I am a retirement visa holder.

I know I will obviously have to check with insurers but just wondered if anyone had come across this , or am I overthinking it?

The other question is do Thai government inform your own country that you have been granted a retirement visa ? I’m just thinking the tax implications etc.

I know it’s probably questions I should have asked before getting visa lol before all the smart Alex and Annie’s start to roast me .

Thanks in advance for replies

Hello,

If you are 48 and a half years old and you come to Thailand to live now . What visa is the best to bridge the gap to become 50 to apply for a retirement visa?

Can you get a health insurance if you do not have a long term visa?

Hi, wondering those of you u departing from Europe did you find any direct flights to Bangkok?

Also as we have to purchase the ticket before we can complete the application, did you add insurance or purchase flight date change in case visa wasn’t improved in time for flight and Accom booked?

Husband is 51, planning on coming to Thailand next month. Wondering pros and cons of applying for Retirement Visa before we leave or when we arrive? I will be applying as a dependent spouse and we have an 11 year old as a dependent visa to my husband’s retirement visa. Just starting to travel and planning on hitting most of Asia over the next few years with Thailand as “home base”. Thoughts?
