Patriot Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Good afternoon. If I depart Thailand for a couple of months and return using my Retirement Visa, am I still required to have the COVID-19 Insurance for the minimum of US$100,000?? (I'm aware that Ret Visa returnees are pretty low in the pecking order of returnees, but I'll be armed with marriage and child's birth certificates.)

stouricks Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Why would you need marriage & child certificates if you are on a retirement EXTENSION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that proving one is a spouse or parent of a Thai citizen pushes you up the pecking order. Retirement only visa holders have to wait their turn ?????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going for a Retirement Extension which is much easier and therefore quicker than a Marriage one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Lets start again. If one is returning to Thailand on a Retirement Visa, do they need the minimum $100,000 insurance for Covid treatment ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howerde Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) If by retirement visa you mean an oa/ox visa then you cant' return yet or even get on a list, if you are the spouse/parent of a Thai, then you are eligible for a repatriation flight, you will need to go through the embassy of whatever country you are in and meet their requirements covid-19 insurance with $100 000 cover is needed for anyone entering thailand as well as 14 days quarantine, without these you will not get a COE. best visit the Thai embassy website in the country you are planning to be in, you might not be getting back to thailand anytime soon though Edited August 24, 2020 by howerde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
