Does anyone know if you can get a COE with the required insurance if you are over 74 years of age. From what I have read, 74 seems to be the limit. 

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus among users is that individuals over 74 years old can obtain a Certificate of Entry (COE) with the necessary insurance. One user reported successfully obtaining it at 78 with their own travel insurance. While some insurance may have age restrictions, options like health travel insurance for those over 75 are available, albeit at a higher cost. There are suggestions for specific insurance providers and options depending on nationality, especially for French citizens.

2things différent:anticovid insurance,cheap,mandatory,you buy on internet easily.Different is general Health insurance,if you stay more time:this is the problems with age.Under 70 or 75 you find easily.Older you have to subscribe to HEALTH TRAVEL insurance,like April or Chapka.over 75 is ok but expansive.

One special note if you are french with sécurité sociale in France,you can subscribe to CFE which work in Thailand Ith Liberty.Only for french.

Mel Jordan. You mean 60 days I think, there is no 30 day tourist visa? You only need covid insurance. Yoh can get that from any insurance company

Hmm OK David but I am reading that the insurance for COE has to be with a recognised Thai company.

no it doesn't. It just has to cover all the Thai entry requirements like $100,000 dollars minimum covid cover. Plus for some visas inpatient and outpatient cover.
