nong38 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I am thinking of taking the lady back to the UK for a holiday and touring the country, she will need to get travel insurance to cover her for the UK but where do I look in Thailand for Travel Insurance? Asked at the bank and they do not do it, is it a case of trying each of the Insurance companies or well where is best? Two month trip is looking likely, and advice would be good, thanks.

Xircal Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I looked at the FCO.UK site for info which you'll find here: https://www.gov.uk/general-visit-visa But under the heading, 3. "Documents you must provide", there's no mention of an insurance requirement. This would seem to differ from the rules pertaining to a Schengen visa: http://www.vfsglobal.com/austria/uk/schengenvisa_docreq.html Probably your best bet would be to either phone, or email the Embassy in Bangkok and clarify the position with them: https://www.gov.uk/government/world/organisations/british-embassy-bangkok/office/british-embassy-bangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for Thai visiting Schengen countries travel insurance is required in order to obtain visa (reason the health cover). Could be the same for UK, so that would be a good reason.

colinneil Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Pattaya Phom!! Where do you get the idea every thing is free in the UK? You are wrong Thai nationals have to pay for treatment in hospitals/doctors surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
