hi Bob. Do you know if Thai banks will allow opening an account with a 90 day non-O visa? It’s needed for transferring the required amount to apply for the 1 year. Thanks

thanks for the link. I was asking cause I’ll need a procedure very soon and considering getting it done in Bkk as well.

Thanks for sharing your experience, glad your procedure was a success. Just a question… clearly your condition was pre-existing, but if you had a retirement visa which requires Thai medical insurance would that have covered some of the costs?

I assume only within Thailand. So does it cover medical costs and possibly accidents on motorbikes? I would think not

Congrats on your new account. What’s the accident insurance for? Also for how long is the supposed coverage?

thanks Josh. I look and feel 20 years younger when I’m in Thailand 😆

you have to be age 50 or above to get a retirement visa.

thanks for the advice. You do make some good points but I’d rather not need to transfer the relatively large sum of money to a Thai bank just yet. Haven’t checked the health insurance rates yet but I’m sure they’ll be significantly less than here in the states. At least initially I think it’s good to have insurance. Thanks

I really appreciate all the info you’re sharing. Seems like it’s a simple process. When you do a border bounce, do you extend your medical insurance for another year. Is it required?
