Hi everyone

I'm looking at retiring in Thailand and I know that to get the retirement visa extension you must to have health insurance. I've done some research and as far as I can see this is going to cost anywhere between $2000 and $4000 per year if you're over 60, which I am.

This seems like a lot :(. Does anyone have any better ideas about health insurance in Thailand? As far as I can see I need a minimum cover of 400,000 thai baht under the new rules. Is it possible to get cheaper health insurance than the figures given above?

Thanks

Requestimg visa advice:

Over 50. US citizen. Current income from multiple sources - investments, small w-2 income, and interest received from lending money.

I plan on spending ~6 months a year in Thailand, 4 months in Japan, 2 in usa and take short trips around the world. I don't mind getting health insurance in Thailand (currently looking at AXA).

I'm currently back in the US. Looking at Non-O retirement and Non-OA retirement or possibly METV. Ironically the Chicago and DC consulates show different wording for the requirements than each other.

What are the pros & cons to 90 day O vs 1 year OA?

Any experience with Chicago vs DC?

Both consulates require a bank account with a minimum balance but doesn't specify if the account can be outside of Thailand (don't really want to park a bunch of cash in Thai back account if possible plus since I'm not there can't set one up)

Thanks

Hello.

I am currently in the UK and due to fly to Thailand 21st November 2021 until 11th May 2022. My existing insurance policy runs out at the end of February but my Non O retirement visa is valid until May 2022.

My question is; Would I just need to take a new insurance certificate to immigration at the end of February to enable staying in Thailand till May.

Thanks
