PHUKET: Reports of a requirement for foreigners staying in Thailand on ‘Non-Immigrant O-A’ visas now needing to have B3 million COVID health insurance caused much confusion last week, but several of the ‘guidelines’ approved in principle by Cabinet may broaden the options for health insurance for retirees wanting to stay in the country

 

News of the B3mn COVID insurance spread quickly, with different reports marking different requirements (see The Phuket News story here).

 

The level of confusion even saw state news agency National News Bureau of Thailand (NNT) later removing their own story from their main news website. The link to the NNT story, originally posted here, now redirects viewers to the NNT news home page.

The communication of important changes to the immigration laws have reached the level of COVID communications.

Confused policies , confusing statements , the right does not know what the left hand does ... today it is like this , tomorrow different ... nothing is clear , the announcements change constantly ... welcome to the ' Land of Confusion '

 

So the cover required is going up from 400k Baht to 3 million baht to help people out ????

Only for covid 19 coverage if you can get 2 policies.

Not confirmed yet so it is unknown what will be required at this time.

I would say the reverse is true!

What a joke. The maximum cover you can get in Thailand on a single policy with the only company that sells it is 1,000,000 Baht.
