Looking for advice.

My dad is 70 and planing to travel back to Thailand for long term stay. Which category of visa he needs to go with it?

He is retired, pretty healthy, no income but 6 of his children in US can support him financially. I heard retirement visa is hard to get for him and I just curious if DTV is a little bit more flexible and easy for him.

Thanks for reading my message!

Should I purchase local health insurance from nowconpare.com (e.g. Regency) before arrival on a DTV or after arrival using a local agent?

I'm Belgian and I live in Belgium. Because I often go to my girlfriend in Thailand, I want to apply for a visa OA. Where can I best apply for this type of visa.

Should I get health insurance in Thailand, or is a Belgian health insurance good too?

Can I open bank account in Thailand if I get my visa?

What should I do if I return to Belgium after, for example, 5 months? Should I share that somewhere?

Who can advise me about my case? Thank you in advance.

-------------

Ik ben Belg en woon in België. Omdat ik dikwijls naar mijn vriendin in Thailand ga, wil ik een visum OA aanvragen. Waar vraag ik dit type visum het beste aan.

Moet ik een ziekteverzekering in Thailand aangaan, of is een Belgische ziekteverzekering ook goed?

Kan ik een bankrekening openen in Thailand als ik mijn visum heb?

Wat moet ik doen als ik na bijvoorbeeld 5 maanden even terugkeer naar België? Moet ik dat ergens doorgeven?

Wie kan me raad geven omtrent mijn geval? Alvast dank u wel.

Hi is anyone aware of a Thai Insurance Company that will allow you to Purchase a Domestic Health Insurance Policy on a DTV? I've looked at a few companies and they all seem to require you have a LTR, OA or OX Visa.

Hello,

I am hoping to plan a move to thailand in 2025, I have a remote job for which I net over 3000cad/month.

I dont have the saving requirements that I saw online. Is it possible to get a long term visa without having those savings I saw online?

Thanks,

Hi All, I am investigating longer term Visas for Thailand. I am from the UK. I have a longterm girlfriend here and have recently retired. A marriage visa is the ultimate goal. However on some of the Visa requirements proof of Medical Insurance is required. I had a Heart Attack in 2018 which required a stent, on speaking to AXA, they told me it will be impossible to get any Insurance. I understand pre-existing conditions maybe excluded, but they said "not possible to get any insurance". Has anyone had recent experience of this and can point me to a solution? Thank you in advance.

Hello. I’m almost 59. I’d like to test retirement in Thailand. The only way is to commit to 1 year and then make a decision. Is a retirement visa the only way to live in Thailand for a year?
