villageidiotY2K Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Hi folks, when u work for a company in Thailand u get this public health insurance for 750B per month. (Even for a foreigner) I heard from a Thai person that Thais are able to extend this insurance whether when they are unemployed or are retired by continuing to pay 750B. Are foreigners eligible for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the rate is mind, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are foreigners eligible for this? Yes, possible, but afaik you have to be enrolled for at least a year before you can continue paying it by yourself. If you work for less than a year than you can't continue paying it by yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opporna Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 After you stop work, you have 6 months to apply to continue. You apply at any Social Security office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
