axa I have London. Axa thailand is a rep office only only. If you have insurance for 100,000 usd it works. Try getting comprehensive cover for 2.5 million USD they'll show you the door and say sorry NO WAY

seriously you are quoting thai local advice. Have you ever dealt with immigration here. You ask 20nimmigeation officers thecsame question you'll get 20 different answers. No immigration officer or office follows the rules, they interpret them them themselves, zero consistency none at all. You've obviously not been to immigration in thailand or not seen the same person twice. Fool

sorry Stuart we have communicated before but I'm afraid you are seriously misguiguided every visa type of which there happen to be like 50 in thailand require mandatory medical insurance. And only thai based companies are accepted for tax purposes. And as I've said this forum is for visa advice and anything else.

I agree 💯 they cancelled my policy not because I didn't pay my premiums. But I claimed 6,000 Usd after 5 years and they said they wouldn't pay because I'd never given them a full medical history. I did. I went to bkk hospital in 2020 had a full medical at my cost. Gave them the entire report in 2020. Then in 2024 was admitted to hospital. They refused my claim after 5 years because I didn't give them a full medical history. They had it from bkk hospital pattaya 5 years ago. wtf seriously. Worst insurance company in the entire universe. Please nobody go with Regency. They aren't thai based, they aren't UK based they are a shell company based in Nassau. Zero jurisdictional basis

Indeed thailand makes it so so difficult to the point that that I honestly don't think they want expats. Just fyi for you and anybody that reads this response. Thailand has a population of 75 million people of which only 4 million pay taxes. So let me ask the group again. Why are we singled out. There are according to Thai numbers and other international organizations between 200,000 and 500,000 expats living here. The numbers vary and are so inconsistent. Even thai numbers don't include Canadians, aussies and half of of all European countries. So we actually represent based on the lowest estimates

th of tax payers. Why are we staying here being penalized, being made to pay thai taxes when we can't own land, can't get a mortgage, can't get a lease, can't borrow from thai banks - even with full residency, nothing nothing nothing. Read the pattaya news, the thaiger, the nation, expats are leaving like rats from a sinking ship. And if anyone would like to talk about the Chinese or Russians here - all Putin draft dodgers a la Trump I'm all ears. But no trolls please or I will report you to Facebook for harassment. I've done it before and everyone I have done it too has had their Facebook page revoked. So trolls be warned!!!!
