Patricia , you no longer need Covid insurance or any other health insurance to enter Thailand . If your going for a holiday just get normal travel insurance for your trip , or don’t . If your planning to retire there insurance would be a good idea but expensive for good coverage at your age …but research many companies as they can be very clever at not paying out …. Good luck

you can’t even read or comprehend… I didn’t say I know any government officials in Thailand. I said they wouldn’t stop anyone from coming there or obtaining a visa if the person had a police record from the past that had been spent…. Do u understand yet…. I’ve never mentioned a partner on this site in any questions…no more from me…you are not worth any more of my time..if u respond I will not read it … out …. Chokdee kharp

I know no custom or police or immigration officer in Thailand will know or find a persons criminal record if that person is British or Australian as records are cleared in those 2 countries after 11 years in Britain and 10 years in Australia if the person has no convictions in that time. I know at least 5 expats with records that have lived in Thailand for decades without any problems with visas or Thai authorities concerning their past.But you would condemn people forever without forgiveness….Buddhists believe that forgiveness is the remedy to anger..you forgive an offender when aroused by compassion…..so as your an expert on Thailand you will be aware that the Thai government will distribute 1,000,000 free cannabis plants across the country allowing people to grow their own “pot” at home and that you can buy marijuana at shops in Bangkok now… legally…. How cool is that ?! Mr Squarehead ??

@Kevin *********

rubbish…plenty of expats in Thailand have a police record in their country of origin…if their record is over 10 years old with no convictions since the record is SPENT!! And to have CDS convictions does not make the person a dealer .your auniformed square head

Flew to Bangkok , visa on arrival, no ongoing flight, no problem 😉 but up to you !?

@John *******

yes please… got anything good for sale?

@Russell ******

I’m Aussie… it means Controlled Dangerous Substance

CDS is not a major crime is it ?? In Australia your police record ( conviction s) are spent after 10 years if you have no more convictions. Look up how long your record remains open in you country or state….yours it over 13 years ago ….forget about it !

@James *************

no he won’t…he’s so respectful of the Thai laws he refuses to leave his bedroom just in case he jay walks and would have to turn himself in

@Sam *****

I’m going to fly into Bangkok no visa , stamp on arrival and then apply for retirement visa… just don’t want or need on going flight … thanks
