Hi, I need to sort out some health insurance. I'm a UK expat living in Thailand, aged 56, have lived here since 2010 and really should have sorted out health insurance by now of course! I have done some research and have come across a UK based company called Healthcare International, and I have a few questions: 1. Has anyone taken a healthcare policy out with this company, and if so how straightforward was it to set up the policy? 2. Has anyone submitted a claim, and if so how did they handle the claim? Where they straightforward and honest, or try every trick in the book to avoid paying the claim? 3. Have they amended the policy terms and conditions after you took out the policy? Many thanks in advance for your replies.

Good question I went for round trip just to be sure.

Cheers WHansen. Yes it seems to have gone smoothly, I submitted my application on Wednesday 1st Dec around 12.30pm, and woke up today (Friday 3rd) to find the e-visa in my inbox which was a welcome surprise. Next up it's the Thailand Pass.

I submitted my application today and the only things I would add to Millerman's great summary is that they also ask for: 1. A declaration to be printed off and signed, which I did and saved as a pdf. The declaration just says that all of the information submitted is correct, plus some other legal stuff. 2. They ask you to upload copies of your passpost showing travel in the last 12 months. I haven't been outside the UK so I printed and signed a letter stating that I had spent the last 12 months in the UK and had not visited any other countries. I saved this as a pdf. My flight is in the 8th January 2022, so fingers crossed I get the e-visa in time!

Many thanks for the replies everyone.

Hi, I'm going to apply next week for a 60 day tourist visa via the online e-visa portal for the RTE in London. I've never done this before and want to be sure that I have all the documents ready before I submit my application. Is this everything I need? - jpg image of the biodata page of my passport. - A passport photo taken within the last 6 months, as a jpg. file - A completed declaration, which I understand I can download from the site once I have started my application. - copy of flight confirmation, as a jpg file. Does this have to be a return flight? The RTE London website says that the applicant must provide evidence of adequate finance of at least B20,000. Do I have to upload a copy of this as well, or is this only required at check in at the airport? Also, can I apply for Thailand Pass at the same time as applying for this visa, or do I have to wait for the visa to be approved first? Many thanks in advance for your help.
