What is the best medical insurance option for expats in Thailand?

@Kenneth *******

It’s there if you read the comments of the person who asked the exact same question. 79,000 baht. 68 years old. Not much use unless you are me. You contact an insurance company or broker and explain your needs and then decide what you are willing to purchase.

What is the process for obtaining an affirmation of eligibility for marriage in Thailand from the US?

Marty *********

I believe I downloaded the blank affidavit form from the US embassy website, Citizen Services. You can compose what you want to say ahead of time and print it out. I brought divorce papers but they didn’t ask for them. The notary will notarize anything you want to say.

I got my affidavit of freedom to marry from the US Citizen Services office at the embassy in Bangkok. I made an appointment and got the affidavit at that appointment.

Marty *********

Yes. My US insurance covered me as a traveler but not as a long term resident of Thailand. I have a 10 million baht policy with a 40,000 baht deductible. I’ve never spent as much as 40,000 in a year. The insurance is for some catastrophic event. For routine medical care I am paying out of pocket.

Why was my wealthy pensioner LTR visa under BOI in Thailand rejected after 4 months of waiting?

Marty *********

@Frances *******

I got my pensioner LTR myself by applying online from inside Thailand in October 2022. It was very easy. Much easier than assembling the documents for my previous OA 1 year extensions. I never used an agent for my 1 year extensions or my LTR. I can’t imagine what value an agent could offer.
