Make sure which ever company you choose, you read and understand the fine print. Many of them deny payment even if you only had s cold recently. It’s only affordable if you’re young and healthy. I pay a lot with multiple pre existing conditions

Looks like they have a thai version website. It jumps to german because of my browser settings, so I can’t really check

ThoughtfulLychee5096 you could try calling wise support. They’re quite friendly and helpful

ThoughtfulLychee5096 I opened it before I moved here but they were able to send me a replacement card to bangkok. Maybe they can send new cards, too

Wise offers IBAN, virtual and physical cards

Doesn’t your job come with some health issues like insomnia or similar? Only heard that from aviation Youtube channels. Maybe you could get regular treatment for this in a thai hospital and apply legitimately under soft power medical category. That’s what I got. I need kidney testing every 3 months and the hospital confirmed that. It’s up to your embassy, not immigration. They probably don’t have the same information

While you pay a significantly higher price with an agent, they checked all the paperwork and showed a lot of patience with me who is very slow with that stuff ( brain damage after stroke). At the end it’s up to my embassy and i was leaving for visiting family anyway, they did a clean application and wrote a text in thai that my hospital understands to give me the signed proof of regular medical treatment

After spending a certain amount of time in Thailand this starts to feel normal. They randomly come up with something new. We have to accept that and just stay calm 🙏

I have a 100% success rate. Omce they complained that the prescription for epilepsy drugs didn’t come from a neurologist so they had to request an email from one to confirm my condition. Probably one of the highest priced options available but totally worth the pain in my wallet

monitoring the treatment is treatment. It's a struggle to find insurance but mine covers kidney transplant, stroke , diabetes and some other things I have 😱
