wtf, what's that got to do with insurance?

@Dave *********

cash flow doesn't answer my query, which was "insurance"

Having 65k pm living expenses income doesn't cover a medical emergency...

And those with 800k in the bank, if you have an emergency in the last 2 months of your extension of stay and need to withdraw some of that you're screwed for your next extension...

The logic is flawed.

Do away with the 800k. Keep proof of income to support yourself, and have compulsory medical/accident insurance.

My 2 cents worth 😊

@James *******

slight quibble, Thai nationals do not, and never had, to fill a TM6. So not ALL

@Michael *******

is that for the initial visa? as renewal is 12,500 (plus re entry if required)

@Brandon ***********

please explain how those who are on the 65k income method, or those that can still get an embassy letter, have "insurance". Screwed Thai logic?

@Stuart *******

so no 30 days extension then 😞

@Brandon ***********

that's what I thought and is why I asked the question

Where did you enter Thailand, and did you see an immigration officer or an automatic gate?. Useful for others to know

@Colin ********

what you say is correct, except if he has a Thai DL he doesn't need an IDP (not if driving in Thailand anyway)

what's not correct? Elaborate
