playboy Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hi, I have retirement extension from Immigration in Thailand. If I go visit US in near future, I need re-entry permit and do I still need to have Covid-19 insurance for $100000 to get my COE at Thai consulate in US to come back to Thailand? Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 check, for how much cover you got your existing insurance, if below $100k you need a new covid specific covering to the end of your extension. Or upgrade your plan, but if too expensive do get this one. It'is for 1 year only, not shorter options, 15k b https://www.tuneprotect.co.th/en/portal/coronavirus-covid-19-insurance Others insurers offer options from 1 month and in the range 1.5-2.5k per month (depending on country colour you are coming back). If you planning to travel often within a year probably go for this from tune. Of course, this insurance might come handy not only for travel. depending when you would be coming back, insurance requirements might liberalise, down to 1 or 3 months cover. And lowered from extortionate $100k to more realistic figures and much lower premium. yes, you do need re-entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 At this time you would still need the $100,000 covid 19 insurance to get a COE. It would have to valid to the date your re-entry permit expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said I wish I knew this before. Apparently YES. But you'll need a separate letter for the COE application. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThaiVisaCentre Posted September 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2021 Emirates is actually the best option as it also covering the scenario if someone on your flight next to you tests positive when coming into the Phuket sandbox. But if you are not flying emirates, and are looking for a general comparison of the most popular insurers you can use this Thailand Covid Insurance page. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From their website: "If you’re flying on a one‑way trip, the cover ends 48 hours after you arrive at your final destination. Cover for emergency medical expenses and overseas quarantine allowance expire 31 days after arriving at your final destination. *Expenses require pre‑approval. Subject to terms and conditions."
