Hi, I entered Thailand on a visa waiver on 2nd March and am currently applying for an ED visa which I am told will come through on 20th April or thereabouts.
Up until 15th March I had a good medical insurance for travel from my home country, however, this has now expired. I went to see a local Thai AXA agent and she told me I would have to live in Thailand 120 days BEFORE I can get insurance with AXA. The agent suggested another company that would insure me now but I would have to pay one year of premiums in advance, no monthly payments.
Does anyone know if I can get Thai medical insurance on a visa waiver? Do I really need to wait 120 days before I can get health insurance? Any tips on good insurance companies or plans are very welcome. Thank you.
