Mogens Nygaard in addition I should advise you that since the age of 59 I have had a one million baht health insurance cover for IPD here in Thailand with the company formerly known as BUPA now AETNA. So I have had responsible health insurance in Thailand for the last 17 years.
Mogens Nygaard sorry. But you are wrong. As a single person living in Thailand for 17 years I have to show Immigration EVERY YEAR that I have 800,000 baht in a Thai bank from an external source. Then after getting my one year retirement extension, I then have to return to Immigration after three months to prove that I have not spent anything from that figure in the meantime. Please don’t give out incorrect information. Prior to the changes last year, one could show a certified letter from my Embassy proving an income overseas to equate to 800,000 baht. This option was discontinued.
