We're here until October on a tourist visa will then complete DTV in australia before returning.

How have others transitioned their travel insurance? Do we need to cancel our normal policy and transition to expat insurance?

For context we are 31 and 32 with a 2.5 year old.

We've got a 12 month lease and car here. From australia.

Hey,

Can anyone point me in the direction of a health insurance cover for expats that will take me with pre existing medical conditions please?

I'm not worried that they won't cover those conditions, but im looking for cover for accidents, cancer, stroke, heart attack etc.

I'm currently in the UK but after 25 years here with my Thai missus, we've decided its almost time to retire back to Thailand. I'm 49 and she's 53. Plan is to make the move next year when I hit the big 50. But unless I can get cover im quite concerned about not having insurance in place in case the worst happens.

I have spoken to one chap, but he said I was unisurable, but im hoping that isn't the case.

Cheers

A mate of mine in his 70's is applying in Ireland for his retirement visa.

Is there any Thai Insurance policies he could use as the Irish one are really expensive.

Thanks

For those living abroad or planning to move—what international health insurance do you use and would you recommend it? I’m starting to explore options and would love your input on what’s worked well (or not) for you. Thanks in advance!

LTR WP visa - health insurance: we applied one week after annual insurance renewal and it has now been about five weeks, so in two weeks we will have only 10 months remaining on our insurance. If we don't get the visa within two weeks, will we somehow need to extend our insurance coverage to hit 10 months again? This would be difficult as it's international insurance with annual premium. We were planning to do the e-visa through our embassy (Manila), but if they are slow perhaps doing it in Thailand would be better? Any comments from LTR holders with insurance (not money in bank) would be helpful. I have found BOI responsiveness not as good as advertised here.

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.

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
