friends living in thailand on a DTV what kind of health insurence do you have? ive been in thailand for half a year now and so far ive been going on travel insurence but i want to move to a cheaper local health insurence. any suggestions ?

I really want to live in Thailand, and I’m willing to jump thru some hoops to make it happen. But with the retirement visa options I have a problem. I’ve gotten a few quotes for the required health insurance, but they eat up 40-45% of my pension income! I’m trying to live comfortably on my $2k/mo pension. Can anybody here guide me to a practical solution? Thanks

Is travel insurance mandatory?

Hey all,

I recently received my DTV and have few questions.

- I was few months in Thailand before, should I buy golden entrance at airport to avoid problems at Airport?

-arrival cardt tdac is new requirement? I never fullfil this before my past flights

- can I have Thai bank account?

- what should I report beside tm30? I heard that some documents after 3 months but can't remember name

- what insurance do Your recommend?

Regards to all

Hello everyone!

While its kinda difficult to find a clear information I decided to try here. We are planning to move to Thailand for minimum 1 year. Im EU citizen my husband is Thai - we got married in my country. We have 2 small kids - and already got advised to make thai birth certificates and thai passports for them (so they can enter Thailand as thais) but we are not clear how to do about me.

Maybe I can find here some farang woman having thai husband - that would be perfect to ask some questions about visas and stuff. Wish to know if we can book one way tickets for all our family and just apply for some family spouse visa for me after we arrive - or betternto do.it before booking tickets? what are the requirements (financial especially..) How about some insurance for me? Will my husband be able to provide from his insurance (after he gets job in Thailand)..

would love to hear any advice from you'all 😊

So after asking all different banks and agents, only two banks are currently ok for DTV holders:

1.Bangkok Bank ( have to buy insurance, probably around 5k-10K)

2. Krungsri bank

Try both of these banks without agents countrywide. Outside of Bangkok tend to be easier. Yes you need to have residency certificate from immigration. Driving license also helpful.

Otherwise, pay agents. Worth it if it's 5-6K. Don't pay more than that. Good luck!

Can anyone give me information about long term private health insurance in Thailand

Thank you Malcolm

I am applying for an OA visa from USA I am 65 years old and I need insurance to complete the he visa process. Can anyone tell me a insurance company that works through the Bangkok hisipstal in Hua Hin.

Hi everyone I am living in Thailand and in a retirement visa I have type 2 diabetes and aged 66 currently with Bangkok bank but was told they only insure you up to 20000 baht seemed a bit low

Hello all making plans to come for long time. Is there any info on SBC insurance. I want yo get insurance that covers if I need to see doctor and other things not just travel insurance also will it satisfy the insurance requirements needed.

Thanks
