POMCHOB Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 A while back i asked about extending Travel Insurance i am a UK citizen I did get back to contacting my original Insurance company one adviser explained i cannot extend Travel insurance from Thailand, They can only insure for 92 days in Total ( i would of had 72 days by mid Jan)meaning i would of had 72 out of 92 days Max Got cut off on the phone call and the next adviser explained no problem can do it!But this adviser i was told was new and didn't understand the rules. Went ahead for them to contact Underwriter, couple of days later they offered me and a Couple of weeks extra coverage with Admin Fees on top. I was advised to use a company in Pattaya who are highly recommended on this Forum. But they have advised me that as i would of had 72 days in total by mid Jan they could not extend it. I was wondering if anyone has had a situation similar to this and had to leave for another close country and then applied outside Thailand? So the coverage could to start from scatch with another Travel Insurance company? I understand people on the forum will say it can only be purchased in the UK. But i was wondering if there are any other options that exists for the extra 60 days i need to stay in Thailand. I have a single entry Non O marriage Visa 90 days (but may be able to get a permit for leaving the Country to extend it) I would appreciate any serious replies Thank-you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POMCHOB Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 It does seem to look like the question i'm asking the forum may be a bit too specialised for the forum members to answer, but thanks for the viewing my question. POMCHOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbaz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I would suggest you do a search and find another Ins. Co. I get 0ne year cover (from Australian Co.) and can renew for a further year without leaving Thailand with a "Returning Resident" cover. Surely the UK can't be that different?

POMCHOB OP try looking at World Nomads http://www.worldnomads.com/travel-insurance/ and maybe do a search for other long stay providers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangmai Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 HCC charges 5 dollar fee to extend, or you can just get a new policy, and don't have to be in your country. Rules are easiest for US Citizens. Can extend up to 364 days, then just get a new policy. They are rated A+ by AM Best. www.hcc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangmai Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I just called WorldNomads....first, their Explorer plan is only good for 100K USD...but the evacuation part seems good. So the needs of a Canadian are quite different than an American, who doesn't have a primary insurer. Second, they do not offer any direct payment to hospitals,,,so you know what that means....While I was on hold, I extended my www.hcc.com (Tokio Marine) plan for 106 days for 392 USD, I'm early 50s. They offer direct payment to a long list of hospitals in Thailand. But, it can be purchased from a foreign country, after your trip has started, and they don't care if you are basically living there, like I am. I think if you only want 100K...that you could use IMG or HCC.....BTW, 100K in Life Insurance....1 million usd in coverage, 100 usd deductible....250 for a hurt tooth (no deductible), and 10K in personal liability....motorsai is OK.
