Health Insurance. I’ve read a lot of posts on here. Long term retirement visa coverage. Not a short travel plan.

Seems like everyone is satisfied with all these companies until they file a claim.

So many poor reviews from ALL these companies. Either they refuse to pay claims or refuse to communicate with you, or the coverage/deductibles are just ludicrous.

Who do you put your trust in? Or is this just a roll of the dice?

Looking at the DTV and doing a Thai cooking class to qualify (too old and unskilled to be a digital nomad). Is the class a one-off for the 5 year duration, or are they expecting you to do a new class every 180 days?

With the cash requirement, would an Australian Super fund balance that I have total access to be sufficient, or does it have to be in a bank?

Hello, I plan to retire and relocate to Thailand next year. Despite not having the 800,000 Thai baht requirement, I receive a monthly income of about $3,000. Can I secure a retirement visa using just my monthly income?

Hi I need to do my first 90 day report in person and I am in Bangkok . I am on a non o (retirement) visa . Does anyone know if an agent can do this ? And if so recommend one ? I know after this i can do it online. Thanks in advance for any advice

Hi everyone

If you're on a non-immigrant 1 year visa (retirement) with multiple entries.

Q. How long can you exit Thailand for?

Q. If for example, you had to return to your home country (Australia) for family reasons for a while (6 months), providing you fly back to Thailand for your 90-day reporting is this, OK?

Q. In example above does this change if you need to do your I year application again during this period?

TIA

Anyone ever shipped a 20ft container on a retirement visa? And no I don't need stupid comments in the line of, leave all your stuff at home! If you don't know or you just want to be annoying don't comment!

Reason why I'm asking is according to the moving company only people on a 1 year work permit can ship containers free of duty

Hi, we (wife and I) are considering applying for a Retirement visa but we are not planning on moving to Thailand for another year (when I finish working).

I am wondering if we can apply for the visa now (and basically just hold it until the time comes for us to move there), or do we have to wait until we arrive in Thailand (or apply from where I am, immediately before going there) on some other type of visa and then apply for the Retirement visa?

Also, and related to above, is there a minimum days-per-year that we have to live in Thailand when we have a Retirement visa?

TIA, Peter.

Its time to start the process for retirement. How much can i do from Australia before heading over. As in visa!
