Hi everyone, I've reached out to the Thai Consulate General in New York and spoke to a live person last month, today the phone extension for visa applications says the mailbox is full, perhaps I'll try later in the day or another day this week when they've had time to clear out the mailbox.. But my question is, if applying for the DTV visa from the States does one need to provide prove of health insurance for the DTV visa application? I have US health insurance, but will be joining my son and granddaughter on a family health insurance plan once I get to Thailand.. My son and granddaughter don't have Thai health insurance in place yet as they are waiting for me to arrive, and my son is not returning to Thailand until 1st week of June.. An AI Google search says, yes, you have to have insurance in place, but that's not really an official answer, so I will follow up and keep trying to reach someone at the Consulate General in NY in the meantime to get the right answer.. I just thought someone here may know if you need to provide proof of health insurance when applying for the DTV visa from the US..

Thank you in advance, everyone, for any input you may have to share.. 🙏🏽🌿

In case anybody was curious.

I made two bank transfers from my US bank account to my local Bangkok Bank account, both using wise.

Transfer 1

$100, indicated purpose for 'travel expenses'. arrived seconds later, 3,369.69, shows as "Transfer from other bank"

Transfer 2

$100, indicated purpose for 'Long Stay in Thailand'. arrived 1 day later, 3,371.16, shows as "International transfer"

Hi,

Just wondering if someone could recommend a reputable visa service that offers expedited service. I live in the US. I'm leaving in 3 weeks and don't want to take a chance with just any service. Thanks
