Does anybody have a recommendation ( company )for the compulsory healthcare for the retirement visa ?

I read on a website that you need a police check from your home country to get a retirement visa. Thats the first time I’ve read that and wanted to check that’s correct? Also wanted to check if anyone who has gone through the process got one before going to Thailand?

looking through the piles of paperwork you need now to get a visa a letter from the police about your criminal record has just appeared, went to the police station and asked reception and she said don't know anything about that, more hurdles the climb, lol

Hi members...

I'm looking at visa to suit me...Thinking of AO over 50 retirement. But hear you need health insurance... Having a few medical conditions that most insurers don't want to know me...And brokers want arms and a leg...

1. Can I self assure if I provide funds in bank

2. Can I just insure and not include my conditions.

Looking for best options

Have defacto relationship

Of over 10 years....

And been supporting...

Helpful information be good

If can't be Helpful Don't reply

Cheers 🍻

What is the difference between these two requirements?

Foreign Insurance Certificate as stipulated by the Office of Insurance Commission and Health Insurance of Thailand, which must be completed, signed and stamped by the insurance company.

Health Insurance issued by a Thai or foreign insurer for general illnesses, including COVID-19, with the insured sum of no less than 100,000 USD or 3,000,000 THB

Just received my OA visa in Australia. Where can I find out all the rules to this visa officially? I can’t find anything on the Canberra page. Nor was anything sent with my visa. Eg my requirements for reporting. I have read it can be extended into a second year. Where is everyone else getting confirmed information from the Thai authorities please?

Couple visa requirements

We make approx 2700 usd combined after medicare deductions (3100 before) and would be able to do the 25000 deposit.

Does this sound like sufficient funds to qualify for a long term visa?

There's possibility of approx another 600/month on top of this

Appreciate your help

Hi new here wondering what I need to do to legally retire here?

Relative to the many posts about opening a bank account, the rules have indeed changed and tightened up. I have been a resident of Thailand on a Non-OA visa for ten years, and have two Bangkok Bank accounts- my original one in Bangkok, and the second of which I opened 3 years ago in Jomtien Pattaya. I was only asked for my passport and visa for that one, but today I tried to open a new one in Sa Kaeo to use for my visa renewal in the Immigration Office in Aranyaprathep in August. They informed me that they now require a letter from Immigration, which if I understood correctly is a Certificate of Residence. I plan to do that next week. Any tips on what will be required?

Quick question about potential problems w/criminal background checks, and getting approved for a Thai Retirement Visa. Here’s the situation: this person (let’s call him Joe) had a Federal, not US state, drug felony conviction about 40 years ago. The offense was a non-violent one, he served his time, and has had a spotless record since. Joe’s been very successful at business and would love to retire to Thailand. (He'd have no problem paying for an Elite visa if needed)

And no, his record cannot be expunged or pardoned. Its permanent.

Is there anyone here with either 1) direct experience in this matter or 2) is a real Visa professional? Traveling there on a regular tourist visa does not appear to be a problem but its hard to get answers on residency.
