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

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?

I am moving to Thailand in June and looking for health insurance. I-Brokers were the only outfit that replied with quotes.

Does anyone have a recommendation between

IMG

April international

Allianz Ayudhya

HCI

Cigna

Optimum

Allianz is Thailand only and probably all we need

Any comments will be appreciated

Hello all... as a matter of interest... are you keeping your life insurance PLUS your medical whilst your in Thailand

Retirement advise for Australians.

My mum and her partner are wanting to retire in Pattaya.

Both have diabetes, one has been in hospital for an extended period in Aus at least once a year if not more. How likely is insurance going to be to cover them ? If they do , what sort of costs would they be looking at ?

Without insurance how much would say a month long stay in hospital cost?

They know they’d have to travel back for diabetes medications due to cost in Thailand but any other information would be greatly appreciated.

LTR WP visa - health insurance: we applied one week after annual insurance renewal and it has now been about five weeks, so in two weeks we will have only 10 months remaining on our insurance. If we don't get the visa within two weeks, will we somehow need to extend our insurance coverage to hit 10 months again? This would be difficult as it's international insurance with annual premium. We were planning to do the e-visa through our embassy (Manila), but if they are slow perhaps doing it in Thailand would be better? Any comments from LTR holders with insurance (not money in bank) would be helpful. I have found BOI responsiveness not as good as advertised here.

Its time to start the process for retirement. How much can i do from Australia before heading over. As in 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?

Hello to everyone,

Hope this is the right platform to ask & seek advice for my question

In the process of completing my Visa application for Non-O, 12 month stay with multi entry.

UK born, though lived in Australia all but 6 months of my life. Seeking feedback as to insurance policies held by fellow members which comply with Visa / application requirements.

I am trying to understand how Thai policies work & decide which is best for me. I have top private health cover in Australia (covers private/public hospitals, ambulance, medical visits, medication, dental, optical, injury rehab etc)

Those here from Australia who know Medibank Private Health that’s who I am with, so looking for similar cover

Any recommendations of Insurance companies to speak to is greatly appreciated

Thankyou in advance for any responses

Keep smiling and have a wonderful day 🙏
