Hello, need some help and advice on this. I have the local health insurance and paid into it for over a year with a local company. Employment is now finished. I understand that I can continue the policy if I pay myself by making arrangements directly with the relevant ministry. Can someone advise where and how to do this, bearing in mind that I have also moved from Bangkok(original registration) to Chonburi. I also heard that I have up to 6 months to go to the ministry to do this? Thank you
