My advice is to get a proper visa. Re-entering on exempt with a string of covid extensions they're going to know you're working illegally in the country.

There's actually no requirement to buy insurance. I've opened five bank accounts over the years in Thailand and insurance is always offered, but always declined. It's just an up-sell, but not a requirement

Actually that's what it does say!

@Danny *******

My advice would be for you to go personally to immigration and to enquire yourself. There's enough anecdotal information in these groups that shows second-hand information is invariably wrong. The gurus who know about visas such as Stuart will always advise to ask at your immigration office, because that's the place which will say yes or no

Who actually told you?

@Perko ********

Also asks for proof of accommodation after having completed quarantine! 😆

@Perko ********

There's no insurance requirement for a tourist visa. Advise you to have adequate travel insurance.

Each retirement visa must meet the financial criteria. The only way to avoid it is for one spouse to get the trailing spouse extension

@Perko ********

If you have a flexible ticket you might be able to change the date at no cost.

If each of you are on the retirement visa you each have to meet the financial requirements. The non-pensioner however can get a trailing spouse visa
