Davidtom Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hello. I reside in Thailand on a retirement VISA. I will travel to the Philippines for 2 weeks and then back to Thailand My question is will they still ask for insurance even with a re entry permit and full vaccination that was completed in Thailand. Also what would be the cheapest insurance company covering 35.000 US COVID. Thanks for your assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 At this time you will need $20,000 of corvid 19 insurance. You will only need 30 days of it. There is a insurance company here. https://tqm-app.com/static/thailandpass/index.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, good luck if you can find one insurance company in Thailand that currently offer this amount of cover. Buy one that has the cheapest premium and you are comfortable with (Terms & Conditions) that meets the Thailand Pass requirement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want the PCR test sent day 1 then release documents. Cheap.and the bigger ones were terrible to deal with. I also found the middle man underwriter for ALLIANZ 2300 BAHT to enter the Philippines. A day with a result. It's a patient's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reargunnerph3 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 The Bt650 insurance requires 14 day advance purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally read it like that too, but it seems not, rather there is a 14 day waiting period before COVID is covered. Meaning that if you are diagnosed with COVID within 14 days of entering the country, not covered. Noet that other policies, while nto stating this, do state that already having COVIUD ius an exclusion, and if you were to test positive soon after arrival they would likley claim that clause on grounds you were probably infected before entry. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in an identical situation to yours, except that I'll be travelling to and from France rather than the Philippines next month and have no intention to purchase a fake departure ticket for my eventual return to Thailand!

If you test positive with a self test Antigen test later and do not require hospitalisation, you quietly isolated yourself at home. Nothing to worry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
