Hi there, this has probably been answered loads of times but I am getting a little confused.

I was under the impression (from answers to questions here and other places) that medical insurance is not required to apply for the Non-o visa from the UK, I’m looking at the London Thai Embassy website and it is saying that it is a requirement.

It’s not an issue if it is, if anyone has any recommendations for cheap insurance that will get us the visa, as we were planning on self insuring whilst there or looking around for best policy once we have settled.

Also, one last thing, what do I use as confirmation of residency in the uk?

Thank you all in advance

My husband and I are considering moving to Thailand I will be there in the next couple months to scout out homes.

In the interim have a couple of questions for visas and medical insurance.

For a retirement Visa is Tricare for life acceptable.

Also just to clarify. Is it either or to put the money required for the Visa and a bank account or is 65,000 baht proving a Year's worth of deposits sufficient enough?

I am also a realtor with 40 years of experience and work through a referral company where all my transactions are online. Would this be something the DTV Visa would allow?

The other question I have is with a sponsor letter. How does this work and is it acceptable. This would be for funds if the 65,000 baht monthly income is not acceptable.

My remote location would be something new and as such I can show just a little bit of activity. Would this be frowned upon?

Hello everyone 🙂

I have a Non O Visa based on marriage and it will activate on September 25th when I enter Thailand 🇹🇭

When am I able to apply for medical insurance?

When I enter?

Can I do it earlier? As I understand they may be a stand down period for major sicknesses

Thanks so much 🙏

Hi all

Looking to get a 1 year OA visa. I have the funds but am unsure what everyone is doing about medical insurance. Any help would be greatful

Can someone recommend health insurance company in thailand, im aged 72 with medical issues

I arrived in Thailand on a 3-month Non-O visa. After securing a lease and getting a letter from immigration, I was able to open a bank account. (Bangkok Bank refused me even with the immigration letter, but Kasikorn Bank accepted.)

Now I’m preparing to apply for a 1-year retirement visa. I have a few questions for those who have gone through this process, especially without using an agent:

1. Is medical insurance required for this visa?

2. How long do I need to wait after transferring the required funds before I can submit my application?

3. After the extension is granted, do I need to keep the full amount (or part of it) in the account, and if so, for how long?

Any recommendations to get medical insurance for 68 yr old US citizen with meds to control high blood pressure and cholesterol? 🙏🏽

A question about the Non-Immigrant O-A visa. It seems to be too good to be true. At least according to the Thai Consulate in Munich you need to be over 50, show a PENSION income of at least 65,000 baht monthly (currently €1700) OR 800,000 baht in a bank account HERE in Germany. Plus you need medical insurance and a certificate from the police. They say this allows multiple entries and stays of up to one year PER ENTRY.

This seems to be too good to be true. Meaning you’d just have to get this visa once and you could come and go and each time and stay up to a year. Or stay permanently and do a visa bounce once a year. There seems to be no time limit. No lining up at Immigration to get extensions and multiple re-entry permits. Do I understand this correctly?

I’m considering this visa because banks are reported to be cracking down on accounts held by foreigners who don’t have long-stay visas.
