My wife was never asked for itThe 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.

Been taking it for over 30 years after heart bypass,no problemsNow, 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.

Just do it online from here,easyThanks 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.

My sister in law lives there,my wife lived there,my son went to school there ,no problems , dont exagerate.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.

Lots ,but then Britain has free housing ,free health care ,social security if your not working yes you can work if you want to ,etc etc ,does Thailand have this for us? No we have to keep money in the bank or bring in 65k a month to the country,so please dont post silly posts.So much fuss about something that is for once very sensible.
For all those complainers out there just ask yourselves what hoops your country makes a Thai who wants to live in your home country jump through.

Who said i cant afford insurance,? Not me i just do not want to pay 70 or 80k a year for something that is of no use .i prefere to pay for my own hospital visits.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

Nothing to do with that,you have to earn 18600 to be able to take your wife to live there,for her to get a visaWell, there is always social welfare.
Don't tell me, pensioners in UK are starving.

I think you have a vivid imagination "you think to much"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.

No you cannot,unless you earn 18600 pounds a year,most pemsioners in the UK do not. And thats just the start.If you have to go back you can do it with your dependants (wife, children)

You are a very unthinking person,that is my nice way of saying it.I know. Therefore I recommend everybody who is complaining and argueing to go back under the wings of NHS.

If you listen to some of the nasty posters on here,they dont care just leave everything and piss off home.But then most of them own nothing,just live day to day on the barstool and it does not matter to them if they have to leave.most of us though are here with wives children ,homes and a REAL life...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

But you cannot spend the 400k ,if you do you lose your visa,is that not right?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

They got Dianne Abbott to do the figures (uk guys will know what i mean)38 million Non O/A holders - that means 55% of the entire 69 million population of Thailand consists of those who hobbled into the country on Non O/A visas last year.

in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

Or they move money when rates are better,or a hundred other reasons.
