Hey there! 🙌 When it comes to health insurance in Thailand, don’t overthink it – just get covered. The stats don’t lie: most expat mishaps happen within the first 3 months 😅. Whether you go local or bring coverage from home, the goal is simple – peace of mind so you can actually enjoy life here. Think of it as your invisible guardian: it doesn’t stop adventures, it just makes sure a little stumble doesn’t turn into a big setback. 💡✨
, thank you for raising this point 🙏. As an OIC-licensed advisor working daily with the 41 approved private insurers in Thailand, I can confirm that while most policies exclude pre-existing conditions, there are case-by-case solutions after medical review. 🌸 For anyone interested, I’m happy to explain options privately.
Maybe it would be helpful to read carefully what I actually wrote before replying. I never claimed that health insurance is a requirement for the DTV visa. And pre-existing conditions are going to be covered in new policy 😊 get you informed first 🌸
Some of my customers had to show the original quote of a health assurance to pass with DTV visa. If you need just messenger me with your full name and your birthdate, I can prepare. 🌸
what do think about Long-Term Resident Visa (LTR) includes a “Work-From-Thailand Professional” category and the money you invest in an 6 or 8 years in gov. fund? This most of my young customers make (while staying 5-7 Years in Thailand and can return the money anytime they want, with no loos.
, totally get where you're coming from, visa requirements can be tricky, especially when it comes to financial proof. According to the official checklist from the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they require a bank statement from the past 3 months showing a final balance of no less than 500,000 THB.

That said, the exact interpretation can sometimes vary depending on the embassy. Some people have shared that certain embassies are quite strict and expect the money to be in the account for the entire period, while others may be more flexible and only check the final balance. As for using a Wise account, that’s a smart question. Technically, some embassies might not accept online-only bank accounts, as they prefer more traditional institutions. So it would be a good idea to check directly with the Thai Embassy in Jakarta whether they’d accept a Wise statement, just to be safe. Wishing you and your family all the best for the application! You've got this 💪🌏 And thank you for raising the question , it's one many of us have been wondering about! 🙏😊 PruLadda
