@Bill ********

it was for me until they tripled my premiums,despite no claims. My 'misdemeanour ' was a birthday which Cigna said put me in a higher risk pool. I cancelled. Of course.

I only know of one case with Chinese owner and tenant in Chiang mai. Tenant had all necessary docs but was refused and owner had to attend, for initial tm30 to be issued. Not sure if that is general at CM Imm.

I thought that at some Imm offices, the owner was required to attend in person for 1st tm30 at that property?

Be very careful. I was with Cigna. Never claimed but after a birthday they tripled the premium. Said I reached a higher risk pool. Yeah I got a year older! So whatever they quote initially they never guarantee to only increase relative to Inflation. I cancelled and use saved premiums to pay as I go. But bills for surgery etc are not cheap

18 months with lawyers and a lot of cash, to recover the trashed house. Sadly he died before it was finally resolved
