Thanks, they said clearly prior to booking that I cannot extend, but I sent them a message and asked what can be done. Not loving the idea of not having any medical insurance for a month. Given the driving here.

Yes, there are companies that will insure you on a tourist visa. The AXA agent suggested one, but indeed I am not sure if this is legal or worth the cost. So if I wait until 20th April and have my ED visa and then go and get insurance will I get it or do I have to wait 120 days since the broker said I have to live in Thailand 120 days before I can get local insurance. Is this true?

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.
