Insurance Specific to Covid for Thailand Pass

[happydreamer]

Hello...

I have Cigna Global Insurance which is expat insurance that covers me for up to 1M USD although I don't notice anything in specific that it says anything about covering COVID.  Im assuming it does since it covers 100% of my hospital stay if something happens to me.  But thinking the administration running this charade can't infer that it covers Covid from seeing a policy that cover 1M USD and 100% of a hospital stay.  Does anyone know if you need a specific clause that states this covers Covid.

 

Thanks

You can take it as a given that a Clause for Covid coverage in Thailand will be required

The Thailand Pass website only says "Insurance minimum 50k", nothing special about Covid, so imho your policy should be ok.

But to be 100% certain you will have to try.

Ask cigna to send you a covid letter for immigration purpose. 
my agent asked an insurer for it and arrived together with my amended policy

Make sure you have cash or insurance for having to stay in a hotel although asymptomatic. You may be infected even by the van driver to AQ hotel or fellow passenger on flight.I am actively seeking insurance for this potential high cost without success.

 

See the other thread.and they wonder why tourists will go elsewhere

Honestly...I've pretty much lost all interest in returning to Thailand.  The difference two years makes.  The last time I came back in 2019 I couldn't wait to get back.  Today, I'm sitting here in my Chicago home with my wife trying to find a good reason to come back home.  I can't think of one outside of the dreadful Chicago winters...and the fact that my Bangkok condo has all of my nice summer clothes.   Still too much of a chance to get hustled by these jack-wagons in-charge of people's lives back home.

 

I appreciate everyone's insight and advice on my question.  It's helped me make a difficult decision a little bit more palatable
