My Penis is hungry Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 When you're working as an expat I had social security coverage. It meant I could get free coverage at a single hospital. Often public, mine by luck was a good private hospital I got free medical from, free drugs, etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hi, Yeah, you might be right about residency. This is what I read though:"During the CCSA meeting, the Ministry of Public Health affirmed that all people who reside in Thailand, regardless of their nationality, are eligible to receive the vaccine under the government’s plan." As usual though, this being Thailand, who the fuck really knows Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 So, it comes down to the interpretation of the definition of “RESIDE” RESIDE. “To dwell permanently or for a considerable amount of time” 59 minutes is a considerable amount of time out of an hour but not a day 6 days is a considerable amount of time out of a week but not a year 11 months is a considerable amount of time out of a year but not a decade And so on If they mean in rather than say reside they should say people on PR, Elite Visa, Investment Visa, Business Visa, Education Visa, Marriage Visa and Retirement Visa are eligible for free vaccination under governments plan As always in Thailand there are more questions than answers.

Mekong Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 It is not opportunity for corruption, it is the chance to correct misinterpretation for a small fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
