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.

Can someone please advise me on a reasonable travel/ health insurance company for a Canadian on an OA visa please

Does anyone know a good health insurance company with reasonable rates? As I'm trying to complete my OA Visa. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have applied for LTR visa under pensioners category. The folks at Thai Board of Investment are unwilling to accept balance in the money market fund with Fidelity and asking me to provide proof of Thai insurance with minimum coverage of $50K. I am seeking your suggestion for the cheapest health insurance provider acceptabtle for visa purpose. I am looking for the cheapest one as my current insurance coverage will continue indefinitely and I don’t want to pay for expensive coverage when I already have one.

Also if I get the coverage, can it be from a future date as I don’t plan to move to Thailand until November. Those who have got OA visa from US may know this as they may have obtained health insurance. Thank you all!

Hi all,

I applied with AXA nearly two weeks ago. I sent an email last week to obtain a status update and they acknowledged receipt but are still working on it.

For those that applied with AXA, is this the normal process? If so, how long did it take to get a decision?

Are there any other reputable and approved insurance companies?

I am hoping to move soon and I’m seeking the 10 year Wealthy Pensioner LTR. I know there are other easier or better VISA options but I simply like the benefits this LTR affords.

TIA

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?

does DTV can accept AIA health insurance? i talk to agent and it said it only AXA or genki.

Hi friends, my DTV was approved (Muay Thai) and have a couple questions:

1. What health insurance provider is recommended for DTV holders? Searching around I see AXA or AIA, but would like to hear your thoughts.

2. Are DTV holders able to get a motorbike license in Bangkok? Just something small to get around.

Thank you!

Which health insurance can we apply for with a DTV visa? Which one offers the best value for money? I’m looking forward to your recommendations.

What kind of health insurance do you recommend for the DTV?

Heard axa is a god company.

I have a statutory health insurance in Germany, which I will cancel as soon as I go to thailand.

Insurance should only last for 5 years, which should reduce the price.

Thanks for advise.
