yes you are right, only one year are possible as I tried some others today again

Hello, This is the situation: I extended my return flight for another 6 months, and my current travel insurance has expired today. Meanwhile my plans has changed and I will propably fly back in a 2 months. But now some insurance I was looking for can only provide an insurance for this 6 months and not just for 2 months. Is there a way just to get a simple health care insurance for a 2 months for thailand only? no travel insurance? thank you

Ok, I understand. Thank you

But illegal, should it really be like this? If these guys are as good as described, then doing that nostrification should not be that hard. The process is the same as in the USA or Europe. If someone wants to move to another country and work there, he has to go through that process to get the necessary certificate to work there legally. It should be respected; otherwise, there are all medical professions working in Thailand without any recognition of their profession, like nurse, dentist, therapist, pharmacist, etc. In the medical field, it should be even more important. Anyway, I found that post that also described this process. https://www.thailand.go.th/issue-focus-detail/007_035

It sounds like a regular process, just like any other medicine profession, once you want to work abroad and get a job. Nostrification, work permission, etc. So, there is a way.

Even then... I was just very curious, because Thailand has so many forbidden professions for foreigners, and are so strict regarding these rules.... Thank you

OK, I already thought that. I am a bit surprised how someone can work abroad in a country where their profession doesn't even exist, and it becomes illegal then. Anyway, it doesn't really give a familiar or serious impression if someone works illegally in a medical environment. Just hope there are some with a Thai medicine license, and not all are without! Thank you

OK, so in the case of having issues with such a doctor, there is also no insurance that supports or covers such treatments? Worse scenario, in serious issues you will be alone, and get no support of any insurance as they are working illegally then, am I right?

Ohh ok, So, for those who have not done the medical doctor exam, does it mean they are working here illegally?

Hi, I wonder if this profession (D.O) is a recognized profession in Thailand? As I heard, there are some foreigners working as Doctors of Osteopathy in Thailand.
