Hello from Switzerland. Thanks for admiting me in the group. For me the best is to ask for an O non immigrant visa for people over 50 years old by internet on the website. It is little bit more expensive than 60 days exemption and 1900 bahts for extension visa 30 days and you win lot's of time not waiting and making queue at the Immigration Office and have to pay for taxi go and back.

I am on a retirement Visa and had to get health insurance to get it I will be renewing in late February do I have to maintain insurance to renew? The insurance is coming due and just wasn’t sure I had to keep it.

I am living in phrom phong on my first weeks of my 90 day non-0 retirement visa. Everything is in good order except my back! My lower back is out of whack with pain. Of the things on my list I have yet to do, one is get thai health insurance.

Does anyone that has related experience suggest whether I go to a chiropractor with a good reputation (Healing Art on soi 24?) or hospital (Samitivej)? With either I would expect initial imaging to determine the problem. Thanks for any advice. Note this is not asking medical advice but if you use a chiropractor do you recommend that here or recommend hospital physical therapy, etc.

Which health insurance companies and plans do you use? How's their customer service? I've been with Aetna/Allianz Ayudhya for a few years and want to change to another one. I'm looking at accident and inpatient only. Thanks

What do people do about insurance

What are members thoughts or experiences with obtaining Health Insurance for 90+ days. I'm 74 and a UK citizen arriving on Visa Exemption.

I am planning to move for a longer period of time to Thailand. I already got DTV visa (fairly simple process). Now I am looking for a decent health insurance. I don't have existing preconditions, and actually what would I need is the care "in case of sth" I could buy a policy from my home country but these are more like tourist policies, which is not what I need. I need a good insurance in case of sudden sickness (like flue, etc) or in case of required hospitalization, injuries ect. Can you recommend something?

Are there any Americans on social security in Thailand that can advise how to send yearly information on time,the mail is so slow

What do I need to do in order to move to Thailand permanently from USA?

I get confused in my search, for the perfect visa, to be almost constantly in my preferred Thailand.

Some websites say.

800.000 in the bank AND 65.000 income?

Other say.

800.000 in the bank OR 65.000 income?

My problem is.

I have sufficient money in my Belgian bank. But it's all invested. It gets free to use in almost 2 years.

If I would take it out now. I would lose a lot of money. And I would lose money again, by exchanging it to Thai bath and wiring it to a Thai bank. But if a monthly income of 65.000 THB (1735€ at this moment) is sufficient. Then I can apply for the retirement visa.

.

* I am 64. So that's over 50.

* I have a valid foreign (Belgium) passport.

* I can easily find a residence in Thailand and presenting a 6-month lease (I can rent in the hotel I always stay)

* Because my monthly income before taxes is over 65.000 THB it should be easy to get the letter from the embassy proving of sufficient income.

* The “Police Clearance Certificate” I guess, is a certificate of Belgium police of no criminal record. So that’s also no problem.

* Medical certificate. I guess it’s medical certificate of having non contagious illness. Also no problem to get.

* Proof of health insurance Thailand. I don’t know if my Belgium health insurance is sufficient. If not I can always get one specially for Thailand.

.

So my one and only problem is.

What is required?

800.000 ‘AND’ 65.000

or

is it 800.000 ‘OR’ 65.000?
