What Should I Do About Cell Service When Moving to Thailand From the US?

Brook ********

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

You are exactly right.

I added my US AT&T plan to an AIS SIM card as an eSIM. Works perfectly.

The other option, and a better (cheaper) long term plan, is to port your US phone number to Google Voice $20. You can still make and receive calls as well as receive 2FA sms messages.

@Peter ***************

The disadvantages of a retirement visa are that you cannot apply for a work permit as well as the higher deposit amount.

Marriage visa May initially be more scrutiny.

What are some recommended Thai insurance companies for a Non-OA retirement visa application?

Brook ********

I first came on a OA. Left, came back on a tourist visa, converted to NonO and never looked back.

Any CVS or Minute Clinic in the US will sign the medical form without tests. Another option is Dr. Donna in Bangkok via telemedicine.

How can my husband and I stay in Thailand for 6 months as tourists before applying for a retirement visa?

Brook ********

See how much you lose when Thai insurance refuses your claim , denies you coverage, or turns down your renewal application.

if you don’t have $21k USD to put in a Thai money market account, or regular pension payment, you probably shouldn’t be thinking about retiring in Thailand anyway.
