What type of travel insurance is needed for a retirement visa holder returning to England from Thailand?

David *******

@John *****

You’re welcome. I should also have said, it must cover the entire length of stay allowed by your visa. So, if there is 8 months left on your Extension of Stay when you return to Thailand then you’ll need Covid insurance for 8 months.

Make sure you get a re-entry permit before you leave. You’ll need Covid Insurance in order to get your Certificate of Entry to return. Robert Jackson and Arawan Namak have been very helpful to a lot of people if you look for them on here. Agent and Broker and either will get you what you need.

Does having two TM30 registrations complicate immigration in Thailand?

David *******

You submit a TM30 each time you change address. So, you’d be meant to complete one each time you went from one ‘home’ to the other.

Since when has immigration in Thailand required 12 months of bank statements for retirement visa renewal?

@Darren *******

It’s more difficult for the first one. It should be fine but depends on the IO. Another option is to just pay an agent the first time then make sure you have the monthly amount for the next one. Remember, it has to be a minimum of 65k baht every single month without fail for the full 12 months.

If one month is

baht then you can’t extend.

@Darren *******

Unless you’d really rather not, probably best to put the 800k in a Thai bank as soon as you arrive. Needs to be there for at least 2 months before your first extension.

I assume you mean Visa Exempt entry and yes it can be extended for a further 30 days.

What are the latest updates on direct international flights to Phuket and recommended ASQs?

David *******

Thai have just announced 2 flights from Frankfurt to Phuket on 2 April and 7 May. If the ‘sandbox’ gets off the ground keep an eye out for Emirates & Qatar restarting.
