@Lyndon ***********

if you buy thai insurance it wont cover preexisting conditions, they will raise, cancel you or exclude the conditions if you make a claim, and the amount you’re likely to get for a serious illness is little more than your annual premium. Its fine to say everyone needs health insurance but its not that easy

@Raymond *****************

I understand, but the international locations cannot transfer between countries. Bangkok bank in new York, Citibank in Thailand (had a few advantages for Americans but is being sold to a thai bank). Some banks have multi-currency accounts (Krungsri Boarding Card), but there will be a cost to get your currency into Baht.

What documents are required for opening a bank account in Thailand as a retiree, and how does one apply for a Non-O visa and retirement visa?

Robert **********

Many thai refuse those without work permits. You have to keep trying. Also, to get a residency certificate from many immigration offices, you have to have done at least 1 90-day report. I understand that the US Embassy, if you are American, will stop issuing residency certificates June 1.
