Regarding health insurance requirement for a retirement visa. Can I use my Medicare (USA) and supplement insurance.

I understand the insurance is not allowed to be used in Thailand but I could return if needed.

Secondly, can I self insure? If so how much do I need show?

Husband is 51, planning on coming to Thailand next month. Wondering pros and cons of applying for Retirement Visa before we leave or when we arrive? I will be applying as a dependent spouse and we have an 11 year old as a dependent visa to my husband’s retirement visa. Just starting to travel and planning on hitting most of Asia over the next few years with Thailand as “home base”. Thoughts?

Hi. I have Bangkok bank with over 800 000,- and I am going to search for non OA visa. I am 53 and my question is which health insurance should I get? I have checked one AIA and will cost me 35000 baht.

I and my wife(both over 50) want to apply for 1 year non-O-A retirement visa in home country(Hong Kong). I want to know that can we extend our non-O-A visa annually inside Thailand? What is the requirement for application of the extension?

Thanks

I am an client of SBC brokers but not for much longer. I don’t have any pre-existing conditions and I was promised my bills would be covered in full. I had an emergency where I almost died and the hospital threw me to the streets because I could not pay usd 5000-10.000 upfront. The doctors said I would probably die but what do you do when you have a shit insurance and doesn’t have a300,000 dollars limit on you credit card. Safe your life and find a proper insurance brokerage. Does this look pre-existing?

Hello

What is the best health insurance here in Thailand ? I want free hospital and around the world. I get a offer from PRUDENTIAL. 72.000 baht. I am 61 years old

I've been approved for a DTV and already have yearly travel insurance but which has minimal cover and never been claimed on etc.

What's the best option here for spending the year in Thailand as a very healthy UK male in his 50's?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I got my DTV approved via Madrid.

Can you recommend a good and affordable health insurance please? Thanks 🙏🏽
