It seems like many O-A elder retirees, not being able to get the required Thai Company issued insurance or else at extortionate cost will have to either get an O visa or go back to the old country.

Years back I remember reading about Senior Retired Norwegians being sent out to Hua Hin by their Govt for a cheaper way of taking care of them.

I wonder if they're still around and if they are what they're going to do about this new scam insurance policy.

Not only these Norwegians but also the foreign pensioners in the few and rather costly retirement homes for senior farangs set up here in Thailand.

The Philippines actually has a visa status for individuals who need long-term care. It would make sense for Thailand to consider a similar scheme - but as we both know, what makes sense and what actually happens are two very different things!
