Who do you fellow New Zealander DTV folk use for insurance long-term over there?

My last (tourist trip) over there found me hospitalised with food poisoning after eating raw oysters in Songkhla and I'm pretty keen to not go through the expenses of anything like that without insurance again...

Are there affordable options with decent cover for medical and possibly personal belongings?

Can you apply from any consulate world wide instead of your home countries ? NZ charges $2000 which is ridiculous , Australia is $600 , the currencies are almost the same value versus one another.

How much are you paying for the DTV Visa? I often see 350,- USD here but I applied in new zealand and they charged me 2000,- NZD (roughly 1250,- USD) through the thai embassy?

Ok it looks like NZ and Australia are now live with the evisa system

[edit] It seems like some from Aus have already used it and paid. Prices didn’t change.

If you’re from NZ and use the evisa system please let us know the price you had to pay for your visa.

Hello,

Just wondering about whether there are any NZers that have applied for a 60 day tourist visa from the embassy in Wellington lately? If so, I would like to know what your experiences with them are like, and what was your turnaround time? Thank you 🙂

Hi everyone

Does anyone know of any service to transfer money from Thailand to New Zealand.? I cant find any

Thanks

Any good companies in New Zealand for the covid insurance,and is the covid test price separated from the price of the quarantine hotel price.

Update on the previous 10 day quarantine that passed someone somewhere. It's only for 6 countries (yes, China is one), you can only travel to certain provinces after quarantine, and you have to wear a tracking device...

Any ideas about a country nearby that a South African passport holder could enter on a passport with under 6 months validity?

Someone is waiting for their new passport (and the old one is NOT canceled yet) and they need to come back to thailand on a 30 day visa exempt entry and wait for their new passport to arrive.

And before you start the real rule for entering thailand is that you must have more time left on your passport than you are being stamped in for NOT that you need 6 months on the passport to enter the country. That 6 month rule is to BUY a thai visa from a consulate.

Does anyone have experience obtaining METV in New Zealand (as non NZ resident - UK passport holder)?
