There is a lot that is not clear to me. Either talk to a tax professional or wait and see what happens when people start filing in January. I have a pensioner LTR so the money I bring into Thailand is not taxable. I don’t have skin in the game.
My strategy is to have a high deductible. Self insure for routine health care. Keep the insurance for a catastrophic health event. I have a 40,000 baht deductible and, in 7+ years, have never had a medical bill greater than 20,000 baht, usually much lower.
If you are asking about short term travers health insurance then I don’t know.
Paying up front will reduce the number of attempts to find out what will work. It's just going to take longer to interpret the soft power stuff and we will continue to get these questions.
I have an LTR. I was just curious about this visa but I am going to be scrolling a lot if I follow it at all now.
I have a question ( hopefully not annoying) - do you pay the 10,000฿ to apply for a DTV or only if approved? For the LTR you only pay if approved.
If there is no fee barrier then there is no barrier to trying any soft power request and we should pretty quickly see how Thai consulates handle this. Better to ask the consulate than Facebook.
