Finlaco Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Hi Any member have a suggestion for which insurance companies to use for the $10k basic Covid19 cover? If I was applying for Multiple Entry TV, how long should the Insurance coverage be? Thanks @ubonjoe appreciate your suggestions. As always, thanks.

ubonjoe Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Ninety days of insurance would be all that you need for the Thailand Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreigners still require $100,000 med insurance which covers Covid-19 and will require it in the future.

DaLa Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Wow, just back from the UK after 2 months and straight into Aseannow to read the mis-information. I'm on a retirement visa valid until next February with a re-entry stamp. At 68 I paid 2,500 (ish) baht for 57 days of insurance that covers me for $10,000 USD with Luma. Told them I was leaving for Hong Kong in 56 days, straight through at the control ( new temporary desks before immigration at BKK). Thai wife did need a Thai Pass which required the same details as mine without any need for insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct you would only need 30 days, and you can find a general comparison here. Even if you had a longer term visa the Thailand Pass usually only requires 30 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working in the UK and awaiting the collection of a 40 foot container, Until that container left I couldn't book my flight. If I had taken out 30 days cover and then had to delay my return I may have had less than the requirement. 'Folks read the threads for correct information' , good joke , you realise this is Aseannow you're posting on. My exit in 57 days was relevant and correct for my requirements, and if you read my reply did not affect the premium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy the cheapest 30 day policy with cover of 10k covid insurance. The cheapest policy is approx 650baht Edit: just noticed the poster. In any event some others asking about insurance requirements.

The exact length of the policy term required is not mentioned specifically anymore. Also since they removed those lines we have yet to ever see anyone get rejected for their Thailand Pass using a 30 day policy (even if they are staying longer). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadpeople Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Insurance required by TP is US$10,000 premium, 30 days coverage, from 650 Baht the cheapest. But I need a 60-day tourist visa, the requirment still staying US$50,000 premium (visa requirment). Do I need a coverage of 60 days? Not cheap, 3-4k baht up. Did anyone try out using the cheapest 650 baht insurance and get a tourist visa? Edited May 31, 2022 by roadpeople Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need a coverage of 60 days? Not cheap, 3-4k baht up. That is an error on the website you are looking at. They did not lower the requirement when it was changed to $20,000 and now to $10,000. You could submit 60 days of the $10,000 covid 19 insurance and it should be approved. Some state the amount needed for covid on the application info page but it is not a requirement to get the visa. Which embassy or official consulate will you be applying at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya Spotter Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 How does this 10k medical insurance policy requirement work for people on "retirement" visas returning on a re-entry permit...can the policy be for 30s days even if their stay is for another 6 or 9 months?

Foreigners still required to have it. Possible but by no means certain that the requirement for foreigners will be dropped in July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgmr Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 There are Insurance companies in Thailand advertising their services for Covid Health Insurance. Some are persistant even when they have previously rejected my application on yhe grounds that at age 82 i am to old. Does anyone know of a firm that would provide me a policy that would meet the requirements for a Thailand Pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
