if that was truly the case they would make you have insurance like during COVID and it would be the same for any visa. If your sick your sick, hospital bill don't change due to type of visa. It's not logical what you think.
They are helping their neighboring countries by pushing the hand that feeds them...so what I am reading the people that used agency to fund the money for retirement probably won't be able to renew with the agency...what is disturbing is they disrupt Thai families that rely on financial help from farang husband's.
dollar to deposit. As a couple that really sucks. The SRT retirement for veteran in the Philippines may be option to look into of you don't have the funds. They offer a veteran discount around 1500 dollars. Really don't know where Thai government comes up with these high prices when they only pay their people 1000 baht a month for retirement. Not sure if their is a country that demands more money
I honestly do not now a country that has a higher fee for retirement. It's funny Thai retirement is only 1000 baht a month. Wish they had the military special like the phillipines
