What is the best health insurance for a 79-year-old on a Non-O Retirement Visa in Thailand?

Frangipani *******

@Scott ********

Apply for a Non O Visa for her on your home country. Then extend after 3 months for a 12 month extension in Thailand 🇹🇭.

And then extend again…

What is the best way to handle a £200,000 savings when moving to Thailand, considering interest rates and banking options?

Frangipani *******

@Kirk *******

Just remember that you will also have to pay tax on anything you remit to Thailand 🇹🇭- if you spend 180 days or more here in a calendar year. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID TAX ON SAID FUNDS IN THE UK.

Just to let you know…

The new tax rules came into effect 1 January 2024.

What are the steps and considerations for obtaining a retirement visa (O Visa) in Thailand and bringing dependents?

Frangipani *******

@Stephen ***********

Hi there, it is easy these days, took me all of one week. There is no medical requirements for a Non O, nor insurance requirements. Perhaps you were thinking of a Non OA?

Best of luck.

Apologies, I mustn’t have had my glasses on when I read your post. I thought you were asking about a Non O. Sorry.

What is the experience like applying for the O-A Visa online from Australia?

Frangipani *******

Yes, I did it a few weeks ago. Super easy and took less than a week to get approved.

Just make sure you don’t apply too early as you have to arrive in Thailand 🇹🇭 within 3 months of approval

What are the considerations when applying for a retirement visa in Thailand through an agent in Pattaya?

Frangipani *******

Get a non O visa (90 days) in your home country. Open a Thai bank account when you arrive - no issue if you have a non O visa. Go to your local IO to find out their specific requirements for a 12 month extension and then apply.

Easy. No need to use an agent for anything.

Do I need to apply for an E-Visa for Thailand if I am extending my Visa on arrival and applying for a non-immigrant O visa?

Frangipani *******

@Pomm ***

just one thing, for a non O, you don’t need to purchase health cover. For a non OA, you do. When applying from your home country.

@Alex ******

Well, it’s difficult to try and advise if the author ✍️ does not divulge all the circumstances around the issue. 🤷‍♀️

@Alex ******

You never divulged anything about your non eligibility to apply for certain visas, nor your previous EDU visas in your initial post.

No need to be narky, mate.
