@Stan ******

but be prepared for a shock on premiums - starts skyrocketing once older than 75 😢

@Stan ******

my investigation for my mother showed only Aetna and Pacific cross would insure for over 75.

@JD *******

yeah sure

Here is cut and paste from My Embassy:

As for the medical certificate, it must show no prohibitive diseases as indicated in the Ministerial Regulation No.14 (B.E. 2535). The following must appear on certificate/report: (Name) is free of the following diseases: 1. LEPROSY, 2. TUBERCULOSIS (T.B.), 3. ELEPHANTIASIS, 4. DRUG ADDICTION, 5. THIRD STEP OF SYPHILIS, and that (name) is in good physical and mental health. You could also ask the doctor to issue such a medical certificate together with stating “Fit to Fly” in such certificate.

@Bobby *******

I spoke to Immigration official and they said no discussion on changes to nonO retirement visas and conditions in the near future.

Thanks to all for comments - I found Pacific Cross has a special provision and can do at about 0 baht but if you take the maximum deductible ( which I can as my mother is also covered by her home country insurance) then it can be halved to about 0 baht. This also includes the Covid $0 cover that is required for COE so overall although expensive, is just manageable.

that was not my experience - I was a walk in for 90 day reporting - no issues

I did not book - went quite quickly.
