No insurance required for the Non-0. At 71 you and I are pretty much screwed with obtaining a health insurance policy. You need to have an understanding of health insurance and understand things can happen as we get older .We just don't know when good health turns to poor health. At this moment I self insure with $10,000 usd set aside in a stateside bank for emergencies. Im surprised your not familiar with health insurance for yourself no matter what visa. (You need to read up on insurance) I have a secondary form of insurance to use through an emergency room admin. Some hospitals here are participating and will bill my secondary insurance. Im registered in the hospital system here in Thailand.

Its not easy we are all pretty much in the same boat I was just lucky I could put the 800,000b in the bank. I went from a 4% monthly interest rate to.25% that may pay once every six months.

Mario at 71 years old how many long haul flights can you endure? Im 71 and the flights are a challenge. I know as a Canadian you are getting your ass kicked but why not try a Non-0 Visa? Put the required 800,000b in he bank and obtain multiple entries with your visa. At 3 months you can take out 400,000b for your use but put it back 2 months before your yearly renewal. I have to report in with my Non-0 Visa in February and it can be done on-line. I obviously don't know your financial situation but the Non-0 is a thought. As far as health insurance you know the drill. At the age of 71 i don't have time to dick around with Visas and border runs etc. Just enjoy life you senior statesman

You need a Thai phone number and a lease agreement. The Non-0 may not be enough alone. Thailand is a very weird place.

Gezzz nothing is too easy when it comes to immigration. Im just not comfortable having my money in a Thai bank. I have the monthly pension requirements but im really not interested in entertaining that nor do I want to be a tax resident. I pause and have come to the conclusion that im not fully committed to Thailand. Im just saying
