I’ve heard this headache argument so many times. I find it myself and process was easy. All done in 4 visits for both the Non-O and then the extension 2.5 months later. I’d say a total of 2 hrs in all. Nothing difficult about the paperwork or the process.

Yes, yes, yes you have told me a couple of times. I’ve delete my posts as I got it mixed up. Sorry.

@Carole *******

Sorry I got mistaken with the ETA. Scrap that advise.

@Carole *******

I think it’s just for tourists as the info says, if you have DTV you don’t need to do this. So I’m guessing it applies to all long term visa holders.

Well said. 👍

I’ve done a lot of research on differing companies. The one that always showed up offering the cheapest premiums is the one that has terrible reviews for not paying out. So, cheapest isn’t the best solution as is usually true for everything.

First, What if you don’t is an equal and valid question.

Second, if you are going down the self insure route, you should have a good cash reserve to do it.

Third, if you don’t have a cash reserve, anyone of a certain age should be getting full annual testing. From that you will know what your medical condition is. If you have heart problems, Thai insurance won’t cover you anyway, full stop so you’re wasting your money from the start. If you do know of any Thai insurer that WILL fully cover you for heart conditions or any other conditions, please let me know. I await your recommendation and will buy a policy immediately if premiums aren’t ridiculously high.

Fourth, if you have a heart condition and have it monitored regularly, you can always fly home before the condition worsens to a point of failure.
