The NHS is great. Your mate's "bird" didn't really get treated for free, as Settlement visas require a NHS fee of (I think £400) to be paid, for the initial visa and then again for LTR. But it's still good value.

Now, a new review suggests your risk of a brain bleed outweighs any heart benefit that a daily aspirin might bring you. Researchers said the findings support a recent change to guidelines on low-dose aspirin: The blood thinner should now be reserved for people at high risk of heart attack or stroke.

Thanks for all the replies. Still not sure what to do but will probably either apply from here as suggested by Ivor Bigun, or do it at Heathrow as soon as I arrive.

The income or savings requirements are far higher for settling in the UK than for Extensions of Stay in Thailand. Plus UK requires a NHS payment (basically insurance), TB certificate and Thais have to pass a basic English test.

It was actually in Switzerland, Denmark and Australia

So, what is your plan B???? 

You got a too low income for UK to go with family and also you Can't pay insurance. 

Might be time for a move before it's too late. I read about Bulgaria, Romania or Hungary, where it's not expensive to live with low income. However it will have to have more Research. 

Good Luck

I think the reason for the insurance has been misrepresented. They are basically saying the system is underfunded treating foreigners.
Thais pay tax then get the advantage of subsidised healthcare, foreigners don't pay tax then use the subsidised healthcare.
 
Any foreigner using the Thai public health , even if they pay (the subsidised rate) in full, is by definition a loss, they didn't pay tax for 20 years to fund the system.
 
Its not the bill at the hospital thats not being paid, its the funding of the system thats not being paid by foreigners.
 
If a Thai person goes to hospital and gets a band-aid, cost of providing the band-aid 100 baht, Thai taxes pays 80 baht and the Thai person pays 20 baht.
If a foreigner gets the band-aid, they pay 20 baht, there is an 80 baht loss
When Thai Gov says they didn't get paid X billions, they are talking about the 80 baht, not the 20 baht.
 
 

If you have to go back you can do it with your dependants (wife, children) 

..what about me ...I am 76 years old, staying in Thailand now with a yearly retirement extension and married with a Thai lady for more than 30 years.
I cannot find any company offering me a health insurance...and I cannot blame them because they are not in the business of providing health insurance but in the business of making money

To iron out the wrinkles before it's extended to O and the married. Project Management 101 - run a pilot

I did it from here applied online ,paid the fee and when i was in the UK picked it up ,easy ,no problem ,

Not from the news stand. But when I have a nice breakfast in a restaurant or hotel I like to look at a real newspaper.

Who knows right [emoji6]
 
Truth is as always the govt makes new rules & Immigration will be confused/uninformed as to how to implement but............
 
From what I am reading I think the new insurance for Non Imm OA Visa obtained outside Thailand at your home country consulates yes will need insurance
to complete
 
But any long stay extension done inside Thailand will have the new 800k for X amount of months?  & 400k remainder months?
That basically is the insurance requirement covered by the 400k....probably easier than trying to suss who has what policy etc.
 
So if your doing your extension inside Thailand & are following the seasoned money in bank rules you will not need the insurance since your 400k
is showing a form of locked in self insured?
 
But as usual like I said Who knows right? [emoji3] That is my guess & how I have read it so far
How each Imm office will interpret it is anyone's guess

Just looked at my passport its a new one from my original and the stamp the immigration put in a couple of years ago says non o ,what does that mean ,sorry but imr stupid lol
