to issan laywer that started tm30 petition : start new thing about O-A  insurance please

 

I do not want to pay the insurance SCAM, I want to pay as I go ... I prefer funds on fixed bank account 

How did Issan lawyers petition help? I don't think Thai immigration is going to listen to any petition from foreigners. They would do what they thing is the best and benefits them the most. Thailand does not need foreigners to retire here. Foreigners need Thailand because desperate farangs are unable to retire in their home country with their meager incomes.

Because the petition was such a success and now there is no need to do TM30 anymore?

There is an alternative to non O-A. Its called a non o based on retirement. Can even be obtained inside los via conversion at imm. Very easily obtained at nearby consulate also. What's all the fuss.

Money. It's always about the money, or lack of.

The TM-30 did not generate a lot of revenue.  The insurance scam will generate a ton of new income for insurance companies and healthcare institutions...for years to come...Thailand's healthcare cost will likely rise quickly once the insurance scam if fully implemented...

 

Thais have no incentive to pull back on this requirement...it is a win-win for them...????

The disease could even spread to other types of visas/extensions with no grandfathering, quick lead me to the nearest bridge !!!

How doea the OP justify the word "scam"? Kindly give details of this allegation.

Requiring retirees to have insurance hardly seems a scam to me.

I guess the EU are scamning everyone (not just retirees) who want to visit Europe too. 

If the OP doesn't want to pay this "Scam" then the OP should go back to his home country, or somewhere else where there's no "scam" like this.

What's the difference between a Non-OA and Non-O? I thought a Non-O was for marriage visa and a Non-OA was for retirement visa.

This unneeded topic has now gone way off topic so it is now
