I want to apply for a Non-O (retirement), multiple entries at the Thai Embassy in Berlin and this is what their website says about the requirements with regard to financials and health insurance.
"In addition, please upload to item 8. proof of overseas health insurance in
English or Thai (2 documents in one file), which includes the following requirements
includes high:
- valid for the entire stay in Thailand
- minimum coverage of 40.000 Thai Baht (or 1.300 Euro) for outpatient treatment
- Minimum coverage of 400,000 Thai Baht (or 13,000 Euro) for inpatient treatment (inpatient)
Financial evidence (A copy of pension statement or a copy of 1-month bank statement showing your income from pension, or 3-month bank statement of at least 5.000 EUR."
3 years ago there was no health insurance requirement. Now it's needed for the whole duration of your stay in Thailand, 3 months single entry - one year multiple entries.
This might be a deal breaker for Stocki going the Non-O visa way as he says he's not in good health.
