Popular Post karunasup Posted February 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hi, Which local insurance company provides med coverage for those aged 70 or more? I am finding that most of these companies based their actuary calculations on old models of people living to 75-80. And not what is happening today where the fastest growing age group in the West/Japan (and even Thailand) are those in their 70-100 yrs. IF the Thai experts analyse this microtrend, perhaps they could come up with more friendly retirement policies to attract those 80-100 yrs old, might help increase - jobs, income, real estate and more marriages. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point when people get older it seems they return to their home countries for proper medical care and family support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olfu Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 My understanding is if you enter Thailand on visa exempt permit you dont need any medical insurance and then you can apply for two extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need the medical insurance to pay for any treatment you may need, not simply to stay here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubbaJohnny Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Going back to the OP. I am not employed but hope to stay here as a pensioner. Has anyone over 70 managed to buy comprehensive health insurance from a Thai company. Last time I filled in loads of paperwork received quotes only to be told not for foreigners by a C Mai broker as if our risk somehow greater maybe ? I am not that age yet but self insurance via large savings seems the only option as if critcally medivac is maybe impossible and the pandemic has just made it all harder. Details from any satisfied customer not agents or brokers please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
