Absolutely! I agree with everything you said, the visa isn't for everyone (apart from the initial outlay) but for some it is perfect. each to their own, and the pathetic trolls can just do one. glad you're happy with your choice mate ????

thank you hampik, ukrules and khunper, all info gratefully received. celcius, get a life

not even close. happy trolling, ya knob. thanks for your non-help. many reasons why Elite is a good personal choice, and one of the 'perks' is that they do all the paperwork prep and the reports for you. if they don't on Samui, then so be it.

Should add that having the agent do all reporting, paperwork prep etc is one of the 'perks' of the visa, and a bit of a bummer if that won't be the case if I am on Samui.

Hi all, any Elite Visa holders on here? I'm considering getting the Elite Visa, but noticed there doesn't seem to be any Elite/Priviliged Agents on Samui. Can anyone say if that is correct? And if so, is 90day reporting as straightforward with this visa, as with any A/O Thank you

yes, I've seen that there are certain non-o insurance requirements, ( we will be non-o with extension/permission to stay based on retirement) I guess I have lots more research to do, to see what suits us best. Thank you Etaoin and everyone else for your input.

thank you, i'm definitely thinking along those lines now

Thank you, CIGNA has jumped out at me several times during my research, with lots of good feedback.

thank you, thats a great point

thank you

ah, thats not something i'd thought about, very good point, thank you

Hi everyone, I will be moving to Koh Samui next year with my wife, we're both UK citizens. We have lived there before for several years, carefree and blase about health matters, but now we are older we feel some kind of health insurance would be a good idea, nothing too excessive, ( like dental, doctor checkup, non emergency things) but something that covers us when it would really matter and required a hospital visit. I did search through for previous, similar posts, so apolgies if I missed an existing thread. Any tips or advice would be welcomed, especially an obviously ballpark idea of yearly costs. After researching (googling) I'm in the dark of a general idea of such costs for two under sixty year olds with no underlying conditions who just want something basic, for piece of mind. Thank you
