Can I get a retirement visa for Thailand without health insurance?

Stuart ***********

when you get over 60 and have existing health conditions, the health insurance often becomes worthless and expensive as they still charge the same premium, but do not cover all your existing health conditions and things related to them. As a result many people elect to self insure.

Why are Bangkok Bank and AIS apps locking foreigners out of their accounts?

@Max ************

I think you are replying to the wrong person. Glen said he didn't want to invest a big chunk of money. I suggested he gets an OA visa instead if that's the case as it means he doesn't need to deposit money here. I have more than 800k in Bkk bank same as you!

Why are Bangkok Bank and AIS apps locking foreigners out of their accounts?

Stuart ***********

I don't want to tempt fate, but I have been with Bkk bank for over 3 years and not had this problem (yet). Is there something the customer does (or doesn't do) that initiates this action from the bank?

Can you open a bank account with a non-O visa in Thailand and are there international bank branches in Pattaya?

Stuart ***********

there's a HSBC in Bkk (not Pattaya), but it's a commercial bank. You have to use a Thai bank.

What are the steps for a US citizen married to a Thai citizen to transition from a tourist visa to a retirement or marriage visa in Thailand?

Stuart ***********

Yes you can use the 65,000 method for the second year and yes you can transfer to the retirement visa for your second extension. You will definitely need your own account to deposit your money for visa purposes.
