Suppose I get a non-O extension inside Thailand that doesn't require insurance, what should I expect to pay for a local insurance that covers the basic issues let's say a traffic accident, a heart's attack, etc?

Hi there, I've been reading through this forum and it looks like the 40k/400k insurance needed to apply for a non O-A retirement visa is worthless. Does anyone know about an affordable health insurance that covers major health issues? Age range 60-65. Thanks in advance.

I didn't want to park 800K THB in a Thai bank, but if that is the only option I have then I will have to follow that path, thanks everyone for your advice.

You are right, I wanted to say a visa extension based on retirement. So, I will have to stay in the kingdom during 12 months on visa runs before applying for a non O-A extension based on retirement. My embassy doesn't provide income letters.

Hi there, I would like to apply for a Non Immigrant O-A Retirement Visa inside Thailand based on 65.000 THB monthly deposit. For how long do I have to make monthly bank transfers prior to submit the application at the Immigration Office? What kind of health insurance is required? Thanks for your advice.

Yeah, I hope it works. I was also told that if I paid 5000 baht they would take care of everything, what made me feel it was very suspicious.

Thank you very much for the information, I will print the embassy email reply and try again tomorrow.

Hello everybody, Today I went to the Immigration Office in Hua Hin to apply for a Covid-19 extension and they asked me for a letter from my embassy to confirm my request of stay extension. I contacted my embassy and told me they don't provide this kind of letter anymore because it is not necessary. I know that each Immigration Office has its own rules, so I will have to try in another office. Could you please tell me which Immigration Office in Bangkok should I go to get my covid-19 extension? I entered Thailand visa exempt. Thank you.

Hello everybody, I want to get a Thai motorbike driving license, I have got a Thai car driving license and my home country car and motorbike driving license but I forgot to get an International driving license before coming to Thailand. Can I exchange my home country motorbike driving license for for a Thai one or will I have to take the theory and practice tests to get it? Thank you for reading.

Thank you for the reply and advice.

Hi there, As everybody knows the deadline for covid-19 extensions is November 27, unless immigration authorities decide to extend it. My stay permit expires on December 13. In the case that they decide to put an end to covid-19 extensions, do you think I will able to get a covid-19 extension and extend my permit until mid-February 2022 if I apply on November 26, in spite of the fact that my current permit expires on December 13? Thanks

To center the question, Wise would charge 120 € (0.57%) for transferring 21000 €, the exchange rate looks good. My home bank would charge 147 € (0.7%) and probably the exchange rate would be worse, so it's not an option. I'm asking if there is a way to save some euros. Best regards.

Hi there, I need to transfer 800k THB to my Thai bank account in order to apply for a Non-O retirement visa. Do you know which is the better way ( i.e. the cheaper) to do it? (Home bank currency is Euro) Thanks

Yes, I have checked, no flights available, it seems the route has been cancelled.

I bought a cheap onward ticket in order to entry Thailand on a visa exemption scheme, but the flight has been cancelled. Does the airline check the onward flight status at check-in time? Will I have to buy a new ticket? Any alternatives? Greetings.
