Does Ed-visa holder have to buy medical insurance?

[topswijaya]

Dear all,

 

Does Ed-visa holder have to buy medical insurance?

If yes, where to buy?

What is the name of Ed visa medical insurance company?

 

Thanks

Medial insurance will not be required.

The only insurance needed is the covid 19 insurance for entry to the country.

If you had an ED visa and 12 month extension of stay, with (say) 6 months remaining, and were entering the country with a re-entry permit:

 

How long would the covid insurance need to be valid for?

 

What happens when it runs out (I gather you can't re-apply for this insurance while within Thailand)?

 

etc...

It would only need to be valid for 30 days to apply for a Thailand Pass.

Thanks - do you happen to know what the reasoning is behind it being 30 days?

 

Also would you have to register with Thailand Pass?

 

Finally, is two vaccinations "fully vaccinated" or do you need three?

 

Sorry for all the questions...

That is all that is required if entering on a re-entry permit.

Yes will need apply or a Thailand Pass to enter the country. See: https://tp.consular.go.th/

At this time only 2 vaccinations are needed at this time.
