Just a heads up if it is Chaengwattana I went last week I made my appointment the day before and the times were wide open. I arrived right at the time and there was quite a queue and the number was at 50. I asked someone, showed them my appointment and they took me right in gave me 3 more papers to fill out, he took the application I filled out and printed and re did it in blue ink and I was out of there in 15 minutes total.

I did go to the LA consulate site and it says 800k

Apparently it did say 1.2 for a short time.

I first saw this on YouTube that it was 1.2 million

Yes they are! So much help and no sarcasm!

Thanks, I finally got through to the consulate in Chicago late this afternoon. He did confirm that.

I’m between a rock and a hard place. Non OA won’t work for me just to trying to get insurance. I’m positive I’m not insurable in Thailand or here even here and I have to have really good insurance.

I did inquire about the elite visa that may be my ticket. I can have travel insurance and and I can get it for a year with all preexisting conditions covered. If I only have 6 months that’s what they will stamp me in with.

I just have to go back to the US once a year to re up it. I planned on going back at least once a year anyway.

I appreciate your input.

Thank you!

It should be common sense, but you know how things work.

The wording says insurance must be valid for duration of stay, not duration of visa.

So it can get a little confusing. That’s why I asked the question.

I will check the Embassy here in Washington DC.

Did you have a previous health plan or did you get it for your stay?

@Marlene *****

I don’t want to purchase a year long plan if I don’t have to.

Thanks for the info!
