Afaik there are some immigration offices which don't allow the combination method, so you should let us know where you are, then maybe somebody who lives in the same province as you can post in his experience. Or you should ask at your local immigration office about it.

I'm in Phuket, I did use the combination method many yrs ago but only for a couple of months.

I've been using 800k in the bank method for 12yrs now I would like to free up some of the 800k, what do I need to do too use income plus lump sum I.e 400k plus income/pension, could I use 40k income per month plus lump sum or does it have to be 65k income?

The thai german embassy Web Page confirm

 

1. Non-oa visa applicants must present a health insurance coverage usd 100000 =3 million thb

2. Non-OS or multiple entre Visa applicants retirement must present a health insurance cover opd 400k / ipd 40k

 

Thus given i expect extension of stay 12 months based on retirement to be affected 1. 400k opd and 40k ipd 2. Non-oa conversion to 12 months retirement to be the 3 Million trap. 

 

For non-os and multiple married to a thai covid insurance usd 50k.

400k opd/40k ip that can't be right?

You need to determine your latest visa.  Visas are typically acquired at Royal Thai embassies or consulates outside of Thailand.  They are typically pasted into your passport and take up an entire page.  For purpose of your question there are two varieties of visa that are of interest.  One is an Non-OA and the other is a Non-O.  The A in Non-OA is significant because to this visa attaches the Thai Immigration imposed health insurance mandate.  No such mandate attaches to the Non-O visa.  (Note that if you have had the Non-OA visa for a long time, say pre-2018 it's possible that the health insurance mandate doesn't apply to you, at least in some immigration offices like the one in Phuket.)

 

Medical Insurance:

From October 2020 an medical insurance is required for every retirement extension if it is based on a original Non-OA visa (Issued at the Thai Embassy in your home country) following the criteria explained below than it has to be shown and included in the extension based on retirement.
– If the Non-OA visa from your home country is issued In or BEFORE 2017 then the health insurance is NOT required for your extension.
– If the Non-OA visa from your home country is issued in 2018 or later but the last entry date is before 1 October 2019 then the health insurance is NOT required for your extension.
– If the Non-OA visa from your home country is issued in 2018 or later but the last entry date is AFTER 1 October 2019 then the health insurance is IS required for your extension.
Please use the following link https://longstay.tgia.org  to get more information about the required health insurance or click here to see the list of the accepted health insurance companies as of August 2020.
People who required the health insurance and who are not able to get the health insurance due to their age can discuss this with the officers in charge during their application in order to receive an exemption if necessary.
If the retirement extension is based on a (single entry) Non-O visa or from a conversion from Non-B or based on marriage etc then the health insurance is NOT required for the extension based retirement application.
Please contact the Immigration volunteers to check your situation and to see if you need the health insurance in case it is not clear for you.

You may have received extensions of stay based on your latest visa.  If those extensions of stay were based on a Non-O visa you don't have to meet the health insurance mandate.  If they are instead based on a Non-OA visa then you do.

 

I came here in 2009 on a non O, I converted that to the retirement and have had this untill this day, I'm assuming I don't need to show insurance which wouldn't be a problem as I do have it, maybe the insurance man assumed I came here on a non OA.

Not a requirement for getting an extension of stay based on a Non-O visa, only Non-OA visas.

Could you explain the difference between the two please, Insurance man told me I would need 3 million insurance which would include Covid cover in order to renew my Retirement Extension after the 1st Sept 2022.

No mention  of the required 3 million insurance or doest that not come into effect untill Sept 2022?

So does a holder of the retirement extension for many years now have to have 3 million cover in order to renew there next extension?

2nd Pfizer jab side effects now much better, should be back to normal very soon.

May I ask your age and if you have any existing problems like heart, diabetes, etc? I learned somewhere that younger people suffer from side effects whereas older people have no problems.

65 with no problems, not everyone is the same I guess.

1st jab was fine.

Had my 2nd Phizer jab yesterday afternoon, woke up this morning with big Headache, aching everywhere and very tired, hoping it won't last long.

What would the cost be for 3 million covid cover in Thailand, if you already have 3 million Medical/Health Insurance would Covid be covered up to 3 Million in that Policy?

Want to travel by road from Phuket to Cha Am returning about 8 days later, anyone know what is required in order to make this return trip.

I am fully Vaccinated with Pfizer.

Cover for what?  COVID cover is already required for entry.

Hopefully I just misunderstood  and it it is for Covid, but he did say that I would need 3 million in order to renew my Retirement Extension in my case Oct 2022, if true news will follow if no news then its just hear say.

"I had my first ever root canal today and I can honestly say it will also be my last. I was warned by the dentist that I may feel pain for a second or two while she was pulling the nerve. Ok, felt that and she said the rest is boring procedure. So that was ok, until it came to packing the tooth. She used whatever instruments they use to push down into the tooth and I screamed every time even though she said it "shouldn't hurt"... yeah, easy for you to say, you aren't the one with it being done. Then when it came time for the cement, that was in one word excruciating, and every time she pushed cement down I was screaming with the pain shooting up through my gums into my face. Apparently I had lots of anesthetic and shouldn't have felt any pain during that part of the procedure but it was the most pain I have ever felt in my life. Needless to say I will never repeat that experience at a dentist office and the only way I'd get one done in the future is through an endodontic specialist and only if they put me to sleep."

 

"I had a root canal today on a rear molar, I had no infection he said, but I had a tooth ache for about two weeks prior. First it was just hot and cold that bothered me and then it was everything. He put numbing gel first before all the shots, which were many and the procedure itself I was numb for. I have been taking hydrocodone and it doesn't touch the pain of this tooth that is supposed to be dead! It is Friday night and the dentist is not open until Monday! Yikes, I am in so much pain, I had natural child birth three times and this pain is worse!"

 

"My root canal was on tooth number 30, the right back lower molar. I was referred to an endodontist since I had a filing and a crown on top of a cracked tooth. My dentist felt like it was worth saving, but for about USD 2,000! The endodontist’s nitrous oxygen machine was broke so I had 3 painful shots before the procedure and 2 during. I still felt a lot of pressure and pulling. Now I have to go back. I wish I had it pulled, against the advice of 2 dentists. It was too much pain and expense, and 12 hours later, it's still hurting even after taking double hydrocodone tablets for a knee replacement."

 

"I had a tooth break and went to the dentist. He said I needed a root canal on two other teeth, not the one that originally broke. I had root canals done on both teeth the same day. I went home with prescribed antibiotics and I felt fine at first. The next day I started to notice a little swelling, and it just got worse. The procedure was performed Thursday and by Friday night my face was huge. The swelling was so severe I could not see out of one eye. The pain was terrible. I called the dentist and did not hear back until Monday. The receptionist was terrible. She was defensive and not at all sympathetic, she actually said they did everything right. When I talked to the dentist, he prescribed a new antibiotic. I am taking it now. However, the whole process was terribly unpleasant and expensive. There has to be a better way."

 

"I had root canal on two front teeth a year ago that have not stopped hurting despite being opened and redone several times. Dental specialists (3 of them) say it is neuralgia and pain control is treatment plan, but after a year of believing this I still can’t touch two teeth that are supposed to have dead nerves in them! The same thing happened to my first ever root canal and I had it pulled and all pain stopped. I will never have another root canal done, and almost everyone I have talked to who have had them eventually lose the tooth anyway. I know I need to have these 2 teeth pulled but with the 'experts' saying there is nothing wrong with the teeth it is so hard to do it. But my guy says the pain will go away once the teeth are gone. Root canals are just a money maker for dentists."

 

"I had a root canal done through my crown. They drilled a little bitty hole through crown and did the canal. I have had pain in that tooth since that day. Actually my tooth does not hurt but my gums and up to jaw bone are very sensitive. I went back and they say nothing is wrong with it. I know that I am going to lose this tooth. Like everybody says, I wish they would have pulled the tooth from the start, but of course the dentist discourages this because they would not make any money on a tooth that isn't there."

 

"I"ve had 2 root canals on both a primary and a secondary molar. It was not a pleasant experience by any means and if I had it to do over I probably would have simply had the teeth extracted. I had nothing but problems with both teeth after the root canal procedure and had to go back for more surgery. Both molars never felt normal again and both were very sensitive after the procedures. There was always a lingering pain when chewing on those teeth. The life of one molar after root canal was about 5 years and the other was about 2 years before they eventually became re-infected and had to be extracted."

 

"I had my first (and last ever) root canal done a few days ago. It was a bottom front tooth. I wish they had just pulled it out! After the Novocain wore off I felt like my entire lower jaw had been hit by a baseball bat! My chin was swollen up, throbbing, and extremely sore to the touch. The dentist was off the 3 days (this was on a Thursday) but thank goodness I had an emergency number. So she called in some Vicodin and antibiotics for me. For the next 3 days I was immobile and couldn't eat. I had always heard rumors about root canals but honestly thought it was all just hype. But I will never, ever get another one done!"

 

"I had a root canal done today; worst experience. I hate everything about going to the dentist and watching a video of how the procedure is done the night before probably wasn't a good idea as well. I had an anesthetic shot 7 times during my 3 hour procedure, because I kept on feeling the pain. Also seeing the tools my dentist was working with and the smell/sound had me going crazy. After taking 5 ibuprofens and 1pill of codeine I can say the pain is slowly getting better. Hope no one else experiences what I did."

 

"I still have pain were my root canal was done in the lower gum line. When x-rays were taken he told me it is still healing and it has been at least 6 years now. The pain comes and goes from time to time."

 

"This root canal procedure is extremely painful. Don't let anyone tell you it is not. Novocain does not stop the pain. I have had two children with no drugs and one bone that remained unset for two days. Root canal is far worse."

If the problem is diagnosed as irreversible nerve damage or non-vital, then the most economical and fastest treatment is extraction (about 800 - 1800 baht) with no replacement(at age 65). If having a space bothers you, then root canal treatment (14-18000) followed by possible post and core (5-8000) and a crown (15-25000) is recommended. Alternatively, extraction followed by a single tooth implant(not transplant) may be possible depending on remaining bone and soft tissue health and anatomy, at an estimated cost of 20000 baht plus a crown. Use of some type of partial denture (4-20000 depending upon material and design) to replace the missing tooth can be done but is generally not well tolerated.

They showed me a plate and false tooth(removable) for between 1500 and 2000bht, cheap alternative should I want to fill the gap.

A root canal is a much more involved and labour intensive procedure than removing a tooth. Of course it's more expensive.

 

 

I've been told that Root Canal can be risky as it sometimes does not work meaning more expense, I'm 65 and not bothered about a gap which can be sorted cheaply with the plate and false tooth, it is removable.

Well assuming you need a root canal (it definitely happens) if you pull it and it's not a cosmetic issue as it's a back tooth then you're dealing with the functional issues of a gap. I'm curious about that myself.

Up to you, but if you can afford it, the root canal with crown is a no brainer, yeah?

It's at the back out of site so I'm happy to keep the gap I already have below it company, apparently I can have a plate with a false tooth for just a couple of thousand, a nice cheap option and for just a few thousand for all.

In all the years having the lower back gap I have never had a problem other than sometimes the Gum does get a bit sore.
