I’m sorry I don’t have any overview of insurances. Just do short time travel insurance myself. Hope someone can advise you further.

@Mark ********

Health insurance is recommended anyway, but then you can control and decide everything yourself and apply for an insurance who suits you personally and not just a Thai insurance approved by the Thai immigration.

As stated for a long term retirement stay in Thailand it’s recommended to apply for a regular 90 days Non O visa at home before you leave and do extension of stays in Thailand. Then there’s no mandatory health insurance requirement.

Nope

There’s not a simple answer to this question. There’s always several people who want to stay long time in Thailand without a long stay visa. If you apply for a ED visa be sure your school has good reputation and that you attend in some classes so they don’t can say you’re staying in Thailand without fulfilling the demands of the visa you’re given.

Be careful, they’re cracking down on people with ED visa who don’t participate in studies.

Yes you can. Just contact the embassy in Bangkok and they will issue you a affidavit letter valid for six months. You’ll then don’t need to prove income or funds in any other way as long as you can meet the formal requirement of 65K baht a month in pension/income. (40K baht for marriage).
