you can do the whole application and save progress as you go before submitting/paying so it’s possible to see what you need and what’s missing.

took 3 days in total, most of that was me doing my tax return! Submitted it late day one, by next morning I had queries from them and after I submitted new docs it took about 5 or 6 hours to get visa. Very quick

Is it cheaper to get health insurance from providers in Thailand or in the UK for someone over 50?

Paul *******

my understanding is that different visa need different levels of cover. Non-OA also needed covid cover. This may have changed in the last 18 months.

not sure about that visa. Pacific Cross could be another to look at. I use an agent normally. It's not cheap sadly but not 200 a month!

Try AXA insurance … price can depend a bit on the type of visa you are using. Eg non-OA over 50 will cost more than a non-O retirement visa …. I think! I’m sure more knowledgeable people will reply shortly!
