I plan to move to Thailand in February 2027 and apply for Non O-A Visa 90 days prior to my arrival. I was hoping that someone could clarify this for me. When they ask for proof of insurance when I apply for my visa, do I have to provide my current US health insurance provider? Or, do I have to acquire approved Thai health care insurance? I really don't want to have to pay my premiums in the US and have insurance premiums in Thailand and I've not arrived yet. Maybe I'm overthinking this too much. Kind replies are appreciated.

I will be applying for the LTR WP soon and am curious about insurance requirements. I have three options. I can use VA Foreign Medical Program. Super easy to get paperwork. I can use CHAMP VA ins, a bit more difficult to get paperwork, but doable. Additionally, my Thai wife is a retired Thai government employee, and I can obtain her insurance. Which would be most prudent?

If I do not reply to your comment it is because I am having issues actually seeing comments. I am getting notifications but unable to view.

Hello to everyone 🙏😊

Does anyone have any experiences with a cheap Thai health insurance which fulfills the requirements for getting a OA retirement Visa ?

I just need this insurance for the Visa issue. I have another health insurance which is not accepted for this purpose.

Thank you for all your help in advance.

And please say something when you know something.

🙏😊🙏

Retiring to Thailand from UK mid October maybe 19th. I have the 800k in Uk ready to transfer once I get a Thai account. No thai bank account yet, most likely to go K bank Roi Et. I have yellow book, Thai id. Driving licence ect. Confused. Either go, none immigrant O or OA? Based on retirement. I've filled both applications in but not submitted yet. Getting conflicting info on which is best. Anyone gone on either of these recently?

If OA, what return date would you enter on the application?

My wife’s DTV visa is taking almost a month now and I’m thinking of just going to Bangkok and getting a non immigrant O visa. She can catch up later when the visa is issued. She had to travel to the U.S. every year. What is the easiest and cheapest process? Should I just go to the immigration office with all my documents? I currently have health insurance until August so I’ll need a Thai policy. The process is confusing. Thanks in advance for sound advice
