COVID insurance for the Thailand Pass

[tgeezer]

Does anyone know of an insurance company that has no age limit on insurance?

You can get it to the age of 99 on the site a link of this page take you to. https://covid19.tgia.org/

Please be aware that the requirement for Thailand Pass is not a covid insurance but a health insurance. The TGIA insurance that ubonjoe mentioned is for covid only. You may be able to get the Thailand Pass with that one - or you may not.

 

If you want insurance for covid the TGIA one is good because of the age limit and also because it covers hospital even if one does not have symptons. But you may need an ordinary health insurance as well.

ubonjoe, I see they offer US$50,000 for 30 days only. For 60days and thereafter their offer for insurance US$100,000 only

 

Is that correct?

It is correct and it will be accepted for The Thai pass.

That appears to be what the companies participating agreed to.

But useless for expats.

If they leave and re-enter the country it can be used.

You cannot buy it and have it go into effect while you are still here.

Hmm.

So are you saying expats just can't buy that before they travel from Thailand but can buy it while on their trip outside Thailand?

 

So if an expat buys a 30 day policy that way and reenters on an annual extension reentry permit will immigration stamp in for only 30 days or until the expiration of the annual extension?

The could buy it with a arrival date in the future and it would go into effect on that day when they enter the country.

The length of validity is another topic for discussion and it is not entirely clear yet.

People have entered with insurance that is less than the permit to stay date they will get from a re-entry permit.

FYI that insurance site has been in use since shortly after the entry restrictions started last year.

Thanks for the reply but I would still be concerned using that site as a settled expat living in Thailand when this text from that site is very clear that their products are NOT for us.

 

You seem to be saying to just ignore this warning.

I think you are misunderstanding what it means.

It only means you cannot buy it use in Thailand while your are still here. When you apply for it you have to enter a arrival date and that is when it will start,

You can apply for a Thai Pass before leaving Thailand if you are planning a short trip out of Thailand,

฿43000 for over 180 days,

$100,000 policy. 
Too expensive!!!!!

This is typical of a Thai quick fix solution with no thought of expats living in Thailand. Same paint different brush.

Yes.

I remain totally confused about this.

I can't take the risk of taking a trip and not being able to get back or not having my annual extension expiry date honored.
