Long stay insurance cover

[jonnyscot]

For Thai pass entry requirements to those that already have adequate long stay Thai insurance for the required covid cover value,

is it also requirement to have an additional separate covid travel insurance ?

If you can provide proof of having insurance that will cover covid 19 treatment up to a $50,000 as of today that will decrease to $20.000 on March 1st it will be accepted to apply for a Thailand Pass.

30 days to the best of my knowledge.  It's been mentioned by several on here and it's what a mate I travelled with recently successfully relied on.

Here's some support for 30 days insurance being sufficient for brianj1964 (for anyone easily confused).

Both the insurance amount, and need for a Covid-insurance at all, could have changed by June.

 

So far, in principle, you need a Covid insurance, or so-called health insurance, fir the length of your stay. Other long-stayers have mentioned that they were let in by showing a insurance with cover for 30 days.

That's a huge game changer for me then. I have a non b which I extended last month. The cost of a year's covid insurance combined with the pcr tests and day 1 quarantine would have been more than my flights. If I can buy 30 days covid cover instead of a whole year I'll start booking my flights out of here to see my family.

I got back in about a week ago.  I have an OA and the OA insurance was adequate for Visa and Thai Pass requirements.

I think you will find if you go to the Thai site the only period available is 30 days.
