LowKey

Looking to purchase my first Iphone, would appreciate any comments.

My ideal Iphone would have:

1. 6" screen

2. Ability to install 2 micro SIMs, no eSIMs

3. Have VoLTE frequencies

4. Utility in Thailand and the US

Is it better to purchase in Thailand or the US?

Been looking at the Iphone 11 series

Any suggestions?

Thank You Ubon Joe for a correct answer, I will be returning to Thailand as soon as the flights resume ( mid May? ), with Covid-19 test in hand, Thai Medical certificate with Covid-19 rider ( signed by my Thai doctor in the U.S. ), 800,000 in Thai bank, one year 400,000-40,000 Thai health insurance policy on a 30 day and plan to convert to Non O-A in country using a well regarded agent. Does that plan sound feasible Joe?

Does anyone know if the Thai Consulate Los Angeles requires both the Thai and Foreign health insurance policies? Or is the requirement just one policy. Here is the wording from the website:

Pursuant to the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of Thailand, dated 2 April B.E. 2562 (2019),
approving in principle for the stipulation of health insurance as an additional requirement for Non-Immigrant ‘O-A’ (Long Stay) visa application, the Royal Thai Embassy  has introduced the following requirements for the said visa application:

Effective from 31 October 2019 , the applicant must be medically insured for the entire period of stay in Thailand with the following coverage:

    9.1. Health insurance policy document issued by a Thai or foreign insurance company, stating that the applicant is medically insured for the period and with coverage as mentioned above:

    (a) In case of a foreign insurance company, the applicant must submit the original insurance policy document with 2 copies;

    (b) In case of a Thai insurance company, the applicant must submit 2 copies of the insurance policy document or, if available, the original insurance policy document with 2 copies. A list of Thai insurance companies participating in the scheme can be found here: http://longstay.tgia.org

    9.2. Foreign Insurance Certificate as stipulated by the Office of Insurance Commission and Health Insurance of Thailand, which must be completed, signed and stamped by the insurance company. The form can be downloaded here: Foreign Insurance Certificate Form
