whats to explain. they will insist to get your medical records from your home country, and then any pre-existing conditions will be called out on your policy that that's not covered. even in US except for company "group" policies and medicare is exactly the same. Insurance companies, to the surprise of many is a "for profit" enterprise.

No insurance, we'll except for government sponsored that covers pre existing conditions.

They will eventually find out from your records. They specifically exclude pre existing conditions but will cover everything else.

@Paul *******

i think you misunderstood my comment

Local flights within the country are one thing. International flights I'm not sure there's any way to do in cabin. I was directly behind a woman with a very small dog in the approved carrier upon boarding and flight attendant told her to return to the boarding gate, wasn't interested at all about paperwork. Never saw her board the flight afterwards. I fly International a lot, and have never seen a pet on board so far

Are you able to have your pet in cabin or need to do freight?? Better double check on this as it seems very difficult for international travel

13 years and complaining... get a proper visa

Probably want to do some research first on your plan. #1 the initial retirement visa always requires the full 800k in a thai bank. #2 usa and UK and some others, your embassy will not certify your funds, which is a requirement, no way around that. This a all fairly well documented in this group and other online sources.

If you do work inside your house, unless you plan to rat on yourself... who knows? Also it's not just qualified English teachers, but always some type of highly skilled work, which there is a shortage of thais, but again that's for a work permit. If you here on retirement or many other forms of visa, it's not possible. You either here claiming retirement or working, there's no hybrid models.

Praying for early implementation of the eta system and this question posted multiple times a day, just goes away. Only to be replaced by why was my eta denied, at least will be a change.

If this is your 2nd attempt, she's already had time enough to consult an attorney. From what I recall in thai law there's a right to cancel and at most going to loose her deposit which itself is not legal but happens. At that point she's needing a lawyer to tell landlord they're in violation of the law. Really one can pretty much walk in an attorney office and for a fee get help, so not really buying the she doesn't have time thing. Thai legal can sign up online and request a callback.

Dtv one way travel is ok as it's a long term visa. 60 day visa exemp is where the issue comes up
