No -- you need to get a quote. And it seems you must be outside of Thailand for 30 days to qualify for the insurance as they ask: Have you travelled to other country * in the past 30 days prior to the policy effective date (including transit)? * other than your departure country and your departure country CANNOT be Thailand Edited November 4, 2021 by jerrymahoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that stack up with others you've looked at? AXA is also known to cover asymptomatic if you test positive on arrival. One "gotcha" though, you got a quote for 265 days, it's single trip so could curtail travel plans if you intended to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai government mafia insurance was 43k. Non starter. It was for 100k unchanged and I had to apparently take one year. If that could be adjusted as AXA I'd expect that cost to be about the same. Maybe if I clicked thru or got a proper quote it would be different. But forced one year and Govt site still 100k?? That's ridiculous. Single trip. It's fine this year. I think with all the hassles our international travels are done. I'm not going to be splurging out here either just to punish the government tax base. Sorry if that sounds petty. Wife, self have seen, done enough in Thailand. Single trip. I'd started the insurance the day we return. The information below says must start insurance before travel so I may need to extend three weeks but is this still single trip? One RT or one flight in? Guess I need to contact. This is emergency family trip. This whole thing is a charade. A few quality ATK tests administered by medical personnel. Done.

jerrymahoney Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) AS I understand it from multiple topics, if you are on one-year extension of stay and you leave during that extension period, upon re-entry you only have to provide the $50K coverage for the remaining duration of that extension. So if your extension started JAN1 for 365 days, and you re-enter the Kingdom on DEC1, you only have to provide insurance coverage for 31 days.

Yes, that is all correct as I understand it as well. The trouble is for those that have been waiting to fly for a year and need to go. I'll be stuck buying insurance for eight months. Eight months despite having SSO and Aetna insurance. My covid policy will lapse a week after I re.enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The policy is cancelled as soon as you leave so my understanding is "single trip" = fly in, wander around Thailand as long as you want but don't leave the country or your insurance is dead. There's a report of someone coming back recently with a throwaway ticket to cut the insurance to 2 weeks (I think it was) and he got away with it. Bit risky IMO as I've also read reports of people on O-A only getting stamped in for as long as their insurance lasted (not sure how that works though ... who checked the insurance and when?).

JerseytoBKK Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 "coverage for the remaining duration of that extension" I've seen that posted repeatedly on different forums but there is an exception! I flew in 4 weeks ago. Stamped in until July, 2022 when I will renew my extension. Only had to buy 90 days of insurance. Reason is I showed a paid return business class ticket because I will return to the US within 90 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
