It is not an approved insurance partner of Bumrungrad (or any hospital) if you have to pay first for medical treatment and then hope to obtain later.   Not sure if you have option to use any hospital for Covid treatment but seems they will make arrangement to pay directly for that..  In other words probably not what you want if you can not afford to pay upfront and intend to use the most expensive type facilities in Thailand for medical treatment.

Understood. My point was if you were admitted for covid the hospital may ask you for money up front. Maybe would be overcome on a phone call. Anyone know if Tune are reputable?

I already emailed them on this point and the reply was:

Just received my QR Code. I think they are now on top of this now and if you have received the email confirming submission you will likely receive a QR code (or rejection reason) in good time. My timeline:

UK Citizen with no middle name on NHS vaccine certificate. Submitted November 2 received QR code November 9, Flying 23 November.

Contact them and ask them to confirm it.

Does anyone have the PRECISE wording from either an AXA or Tune Protect policy that SPECIFICALLY states that?

The Tune polcy doesnt state it explicitly. But I think it is covered by the definition of sickness including "irregularity" and "disease", both of which cover it. I am seeking confirmation and will post when (if) I get it.

Just had mine rejected ???? fly on the 12th applied on the 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th 

 

reason for rejection is my middle name is not on my nhs covid cert unlike my passport. This is not unusual in the uk 
 

im so over it, I’ve got my blagged AQ pass if all else fails. They can deal with me in person when im there. I’m just not interested anymore 
 

I’m not even stressed, I’ve invested in Thailand not that it makes any difference to them and unfortunately I can’t just turn my back and walk away but if this was not the case I would never ever bother with the place after all this. What an absolute joke. I know Thai’s who are so red faced about all this so much so they have called me to say sorry on behalf of government.  

Same here and with everyone from the UK i would think. Only ones which will be the same are those without a middle name.

Anyone from UK received a pass with this discrepancy?

Hello everyone just posting my experience, I'm from the UK. Submitted my application on the 1st and received my QR code today (6th). Unfortunately the Mor Chana app isn't accepting it (manually or with QR code), but I've scanned the code with Google lens and it has worked.

I fly on the 10th so I am hoping this is evidence that they are prioritising by date order.

Would you mind posting exactly what you did on the inputs? I am from the UK and want to be sure I haven`t done something that is causing a problem (particularly regarding the NHS Covid Pass

This part is confusing to me:

 

" Does my insurance have to be a COVID-19 insurance in order to register with Thailand Pass?

- No. You can also use general insurance or health insurance with a minimum coverage of 50,000 USD."

 

As it seems to imply that one can use a COCID-obnly policy, whereas elsewhere I have read it must be a general health policy.

 

Huge difference in terms of availability for people over 75.

 

Has anyone gotten approval on ThailandPass with a COVID only policy?

I have applied for the Thailand Pass with the Tune covid 15000 baht policy and no acceptance yet. The web advertising from Tune says  "Satisfies Immigration Requirement" in big, bold and prominent position. I am unable to contact Tune to clarify. No reply to emails (have read receipts) and phone calls to several options just rings unanswered.  I am considering buying the Axa one and cancelling Tune but that wont be easy. God knows how you would resolve a claim with them.

It is because I changed my travel dates.   They had made a mistake with the foreign certificate and put the new dates on it when they made the corrections.  The 'health insurance' is a new requirement and I don't really understand if the covid policy will be accepted now.

 

Non 'O' visa holder do not normally have to provide health insurance and I am confused about this.

 

They (Tune) offered me iPass on their travel insurance product.  My covid policy has not started and they have not responded to my question about re imbursement.  I only need 2 months insurance at 5200 THB.  They respond to email.   Sometimes.  Try this one below.

I share your confusion. I was clear that the Tune annual policy for 15000 was covid 19 cover only, but it was advertised as "Satisfies Immigration Requirement" and that is my query. However, from its wording, your second policy ("This health insurance also covers covid-19 etc") implies broad cover even though it contains the same policy number as the 15000 baht covid policy-

I`ve just winged another email to them asking for clarification and if neccesary I will change the cover, but so far they are not responding.

I have covid insurance for 1 year.  See attachment.  I have a non 'O' retirement visa with a re-entry stamp in my passport.  Is this going to work for my Thailand Pass?  It was accepted for my COE (which I did not use due to change of plans.)  Thank you.

Thailand pass insurance for NON 'O' retirement visa. I have the covid insurance, screenshots below, and this was accepted for my (unused) COE.  I am a (married) resident with a yellow book, pink card etc. and my current retirement visa needs to be extended for 1 year on 26 01 2022 or before.  I have a re entry stamp valid until then although I plan to return from France 02 12 2021. 

 

I am currently in Thailand and am just going to France to sign some legal documents. Is this health insurance requirement going to be a feature required to remain resident here for NON 'O' visa holders?  (It is currently not, as you are no doubt aware) Will it be enough to take a new policy for 2 months up to when I will apply for the 1 year extension? 

 

I am 73 and health insurance is not readily available and what is offered is very very costly.  Thank you. (very much)

I see there are different dates but the same policy number on the 2 documents. Have you purchased 2 policies? I would be very grateful for some clarification on the Tune policy, I have purchased the same Tune 15000 baht one for my Thailand pass application and am unsure if it will be accepted (my visa is Non-O expiry may 20). Trying to clarify with them if it is covid only and if will be accepted by Thai immigration, but they not replied to emails and dont answer phone.

Finally managed to submit yesterday at 4.30pm UK time after multiple API failures (incognito on chrome and 4 spaces after password did the trick.) email received 09.30am UK time today. No pass received yet. Thailand +7 hours from UK time

I think multiple applications maybe clogging the system up.

email message as follows

ALL Tuk Tuks in Thailand are a rip off and its particularly bad in Phuket when even a ride of 300 yards are not quoted less than 100 baht. And when its raining double everything. Contrast that with a licenced taxi meter where you can go many multiples of the distance for 50 baht. Its the same in Bangkok where fares are 2 or 3 times those of licenced taxi meters.

Outside of Bangkok there are few taxi meters so the operators exploit the opportunity for the scam.

Tuk Tuks are unregulated and should have meters installed which would eradicate the problem.

I can`t seem to find this topic. Anyone know if it has been removed and why?

I am moving to Pattaya. can anyone recommend a nice sea view condo in or around Jomtiem / Pattaya up to 7m baht.
