I have just got a retirement visa until December 2026. I am just wondering how that affects my travel insurance, I currently have a yearly worldwide travel insurance bought travelling from uk . I just wondered if anyone had any issues continuing to use this type of insurance after getting a retirement visa. I suppose the insurance could say I am not travelling if I have visa, or do you think they known the complexities of travel in Thailand. I don’t stay any more than 6 months and I do go to other countries . I am going to get a psa test , not through insurance but the hospital needs to see my passport so it made me think if I ever had a medical emergency then would the hospital declare to the insurance company I am a retirement visa holder.

I know I will obviously have to check with insurers but just wondered if anyone had come across this , or am I overthinking it?

The other question is do Thai government inform your own country that you have been granted a retirement visa ? I’m just thinking the tax implications etc.

I know it’s probably questions I should have asked before getting visa lol before all the smart Alex and Annie’s start to roast me .

Thanks in advance for replies
