Hi everyone

I'm looking at retiring in Thailand and I know that to get the retirement visa extension you must to have health insurance. I've done some research and as far as I can see this is going to cost anywhere between $2000 and $4000 per year if you're over 60, which I am.

This seems like a lot :(. Does anyone have any better ideas about health insurance in Thailand? As far as I can see I need a minimum cover of 400,000 thai baht under the new rules. Is it possible to get cheaper health insurance than the figures given above?

Thanks

Requestimg visa advice:

Over 50. US citizen. Current income from multiple sources - investments, small w-2 income, and interest received from lending money.

I plan on spending ~6 months a year in Thailand, 4 months in Japan, 2 in usa and take short trips around the world. I don't mind getting health insurance in Thailand (currently looking at AXA).

I'm currently back in the US. Looking at Non-O retirement and Non-OA retirement or possibly METV. Ironically the Chicago and DC consulates show different wording for the requirements than each other.

What are the pros & cons to 90 day O vs 1 year OA?

Any experience with Chicago vs DC?

Both consulates require a bank account with a minimum balance but doesn't specify if the account can be outside of Thailand (don't really want to park a bunch of cash in Thai back account if possible plus since I'm not there can't set one up)

Thanks

Hello.

I am currently in the UK and due to fly to Thailand 21st November 2021 until 11th May 2022. My existing insurance policy runs out at the end of February but my Non O retirement visa is valid until May 2022.

My question is; Would I just need to take a new insurance certificate to immigration at the end of February to enable staying in Thailand till May.

Thanks

Quick question

Can I just go with my own travel insurance I organise in my own country or does it have to be from Thailnd

Thanks

This is our house in Udon Thani. I have been living in Thailand for 15 years now and have always had a Non-Immigrant O multiple entry visa based on marriage to a Thai national. Since things have changed since Covid-19, I am looking at a new strategy. I am thinking about living in Thailand six months out of the year and the US the other six months. Do I need to get a different visa, or is there one I can use for 6 months and pay the health insurance for that time instead of a one year policy?
