Dazzler Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi, I am on a Non O visa. I have travel insurance until Feb1 through my UK bank. I will leave Thailand to return to the UK when my visa expires in early April. Does anyone know where I can get the mandatory COVID cover, and general medical insurance (though I don't have to buy this to stay in Thailand) for the ten weeks left of my stay in Thailand? Thanks!

ubonjoe Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Why do you want to buy it since it is not required for your stay here in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not have to apply for the mandatory insurance. You could check with the companies listed here for insurance. https://longstay.tgia.org/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Denis Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Looks like your needs would be best served by subscribing to an 'on the fly' travel-insurance policy for the period of your choice (2 months). I normally use WorldNomads for short-term travel-insurance purposes, but they do not cover covid-19 treatment (and I do not care about covid). You could also to cover covid, buy a cheap covid-19 insurance (450 or 850 THB annual fee) from https://www.roojai.com/en/covid/ Alternatively, SafetyWing travel-insurance < https://safetywing.com/nomad-insurance/ > does include covid-19 treatment coverage, and their conditions/coverage are approx same as WorldNomads, so SafetyWing would probably be your best bet. >> Note you could also check-out Revolut < https://www.revolut.com/ > but not sure whether you could subscribe to their credit-card from abroad. The low annual fee of the Revolut credit-card does include a generous travel-insurance package (including covid-19 coverage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzler Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Thanks guys, I had already checked out Revolut as a cardholder but upgrade for the insurance as already in Thailand wasn't posscible. Had found Safetywing and glad now to have some more options as couldn't find a lot out there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be I misunderstood what you previously posted https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1197228-non-immigrant-visa-o-retirement-visa-and-a-re-entry-visa-to-thailand/?tab=comments#comment-16089415 Quote But as you will see on that page you will need the following insurance valid to at least the day your re-entry permit expires. It is the same insurance required for a OA visa. Edited January 14, 2021 by daejung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
