doesnt mean you shouldnt have an insurance :p you should always have one. no matter the legal situation.

ExcellentJackfruit8779 what??? for buying a vehicle you do not need a TM30. But you allways get a TM30 from your accomodation as a foreigner.

USD? sounds like a massive number. probably pre-existing things that drive up the price? i dont see inruance companies asking for 1400USD monthly under normal circumstances. so i guess its very individual and then i can understand.

i heard the same argument from people. „if i have something then i will just fly home, i dont need insurance“. 3 months later they needed an urgent operation and no chance to go back home first. medical emergencies often are not possible to time.

Maybe check your email from

otherwise just get a new one. takes minutes

yes of course. just need the certificate of residence from immigration

@Beverly **************

you cannot afford health insurance? how do you think you can survive in a foreign country then??? you know that healthcare will be expensive? just a minor thing and stay in hospital can quickly cost you 5-10k $£€ and more. what if there is an accident? what if there is a more serious illness?

definitely switch to the monthly transfer option as soon as you can. just financialy a bad decision to put 400 or 800k dead money into a thai account… non-oa would also work for the start since its 12 months and

enough time to get 12 months of international transfers into your account for the 65k monthly option

@Tracey *******

yes but you could and should use the income option after a year and not let 800k dead money sit in a thai account. just bad financial decision

@Ivan ***********

okay understood… but it wouldn’t surprise me if thailand had a double standard for tax when they already have double pricing for many other things where they can extort the foreigner 🤣🙈

@Pete ******

thanks Pete. that sounds reasonable. 👍 yeah the article is kinda confusing. hope the law gets signed soon. Also the no tax on crypto is huge.
