Why would you even think about doing that?

same here

You don’t want to risk falling below the required minimums ever.

I suggest you do as I did, and put it in a separate bank from your daily use bank, in a dedicated interest-bearing account, and never touch it.

Hire a local, experienced, competent attorney to do due diligence.

It won’t cost much and it’s well worth it.

You can work outside Thailand on a retirement visa.

@Johnson ****

A NonO (฿1900), with the addition of a multiple reentry permit (฿3800) provides multiple reentry, plus you are free to choose ANY health insurance policy, from any country, self insure, or have no insurance at all.

So is that why you chose the NonOA, so you could keep the insurance from your home country?!?

Have you looked at the current requirements for extending the NonOA visa in Thailand? You must choose from one of the 14 Thai health insurance companies and hope and pray they will accept your application. Many pre-existing conditions or age can completely disqualify you from coverage. Then what will you do?

Why did you choose NonOA over the much better (IMHO) NonO?

I’m curious.

How many banks did you try?

What areas did you try?

How were you dressed?

What was the amount of your initial deposit?

Many people who are older, or have pre-existing conditions can’t get insurance in Thailand at any price, or subject to exclusions.

Even if you have a seven figure USD net worth, Thailand still requires insurance for some visa types.

If the hospitals were smart, they would offer their own high deductible catastrophe plan.
