Thai Wife COE rejected as no insurance documents submitted

[oporhatch]

Just submitted my wife's application for COE entry to phuket Sandbox and I received the following message 

 

Royal Thai Embassy, London has rejected your registration/application.

Due to Please use the yellow button to upload Attachment, for photo of medical insurance policy (in English) which expressly covers treatment and medical expenses in relation to COVID-19, with minimum coverage of 100,000 USD. The insurance must cover the total duration of stay in Thailand.

 

Not sure really what to do here as it states the total duration  and everything over 90 days is mega expensive. - I will probably have a look tomorrow , but was thinking of getting 90 days.  I had not booked any return flight as I would probably fly on a different airline on the way back to the UK

Therefore has anybody got any ideas or thoughts on this  - or know of cheap covid insurance for Thai's

My understanding is that Thais only had to show covid insurance coverage for 15 days.  Coverage should be available for as little as 30 days, I would think.

Thanks for the quick response 

 

I will try the 30 day policy tomorrow  and see how that goes  !!!!

i bought a 30 day covid 19 policy to return from the USA.  it was about 4,300 thb.  i bought it through AXA.  i didn't shop around so not sure if that was a high or low price.  but gives you a data point.  USA was considered a high risk country (i bought it in June 2021) so i paid the highest premium.  as i recall the 'low risk' countries were around 2,500 thb.

It does state this on the COE application for Thai's. https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/regis/step?language=enth

She could get 30 days of coverage on this site. https://www.tipinsure.com/CovidRegional/product_detail

It is 4800 baht for 30 days but can vary from where you are traveling from.

bought 30 days insurance from Axa (swaadee) and now approved

Wait, Thais don't need insurance for the AQ route but Do need insurance for the sandbox?

It only cost my friend about 3500 Bhat for a 90 day covid cover, ask Ubon Joe for the link, the link he gave me was great they respond quick and email you the confirmation followed by the policy straight away.
