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 !

Still working in the UK, aged 63, want to spend 2x90 days in Thailand per year, not married.

What’s the best visa?

Would also appreciate any recommendations on health insurance ( not travel ) for while I am there that would pay the hospital direct, no underlining medical conditions.

Thanks for your time fella’s

Hi DTV Group. My wife and I received our DTV visa 4 months ago. As we all know, the DTV Visa is not a typical tourist visa, as it allows us to stay in the country for up to 180 days before undergoing a visa run, and 90-day check-ins with immigration. My question is, for those of us who spend six months in Thailand before doing a Visa run, what kind of medical insurance is suitable for someone living in Thailand with a DTV Visa?

Hi

As I apply for a retirement visa I understand that the cost of the health insurance the Thai embassy want is very high. Something between 60000 Bhat to 80000 Bhat yearly.

Is that so?

Do you have maybe other options?

Thank for your advice

Hello all,

After 18 months in Thailand on exemptions and extensions I'm feeling great being back in on the DTV. I will need to transition from travel insurance to proper expat health insurance in September. How much is this going to cost me? My main priority is direct billing to Bangkok Hospital. I'd appreciate any pointers as I continue my research. Curious what products other DTV folks have selected.

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.. 🙏🏽🌿
