The Bullfrog Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I live near Kamphaengphet but work away...currently in Africa with the missus...If I die abroad my insurance covers me for my flight back ( business class I hope)...but what happens at immigration...or should I say customs !!! My intention is to get cremated in the village temple rather than cremated wherever I may be at the time and carried back in an urn as hand baggage...... Anybody done this before ?...for somebody else I mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 maybe you'll meet the visa exemption if your insurance buy a round trip ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I do not believe you will need a visa at all. The shipping agent will handle the paperwork to repatriate your corpse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for responding to my lighthearted approach to a serious question.. My home address I have given to my new insurance company (BUPA - It is a new contract I have just started) is in Kamphaengphet..but like most I am on a Retirement visa so I don't know if "Repatriation" means UK or Thailand in this case.. When I get details back from BUPA I will check the definitions and report back.. I wonder how it would work for those un insured?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
