Hi,

 

I am on a Non O visa. I have travel insurance until Feb1 through my UK bank. I will leave Thailand to return to the UK when my visa expires in early April.

 

Does anyone know where I can get the mandatory COVID cover, and general medical insurance (though I don't have to buy this to stay in Thailand) for the ten weeks left of my stay in Thailand?

 

Thanks!

Why do you want to buy it since it is not required for your stay here in the country.

 

 

I want to avoid the expense of serious medical treatment...

You do not have to apply for the mandatory insurance.

You could check with the companies listed here for insurance. https://longstay.tgia.org/

Moved to here.

Looks like your needs would be best served by subscribing to an 'on the fly' travel-insurance policy for the period of your choice (2 months).

I normally use WorldNomads for short-term travel-insurance purposes, but they do not cover covid-19 treatment (and I do not care about covid).

You could also to cover covid, buy a cheap covid-19 insurance (450 or 850 THB annual fee) from https://www.roojai.com/en/covid/

Alternatively, SafetyWing travel-insurance <  https://safetywing.com/nomad-insurance/ > does include covid-19 treatment coverage, and their conditions/coverage are approx same as WorldNomads, so SafetyWing would probably be your best bet.

>> Note you could also check-out Revolut  < https://www.revolut.com/ > but not sure whether you could subscribe to their credit-card from abroad.  The low annual fee of the Revolut credit-card does include a generous travel-insurance package (including covid-19 coverage).

This person has been getting good reviews on Facebook for providing insurance to those travelling to Thailand:

Revolut is trip based and must commence and end in your home country.

Thanks guys, I had already checked out Revolut as a cardholder but upgrade for the insurance as already in Thailand wasn't posscible. Had found Safetywing and glad now to have some more options as couldn't find a lot out there...

May be I misunderstood what you previously posted  https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1197228-non-immigrant-visa-o-retirement-visa-and-a-re-entry-visa-to-thailand/?tab=comments#comment-16089415

But as you will see on that page you will need the following insurance valid to at least the day your re-entry permit expires. It is the same insurance required for a OA visa.
