TLDR : Answer Summary

An Indian national with a valid work visa stuck in India due to childbirth can potentially enter Thailand by contacting the Thai consulate. He may need to justify the urgency of his return and adhere to a mandatory 14-day quarantine at a designated government facility, which incurs costs.

I'm closing comments. I'm not going to let this thread turn into a discussion about insurance agents, insurance requirements, or if someone reason to enter Thailand is urgent or not. Message me or another mod if there is more information to add

I'm not sure what a "work visa" is, but if he has a valid work permit, he can contact the Thai consulate in India and ask if he can enter Thailand. He may have to prove the reason why he needs to enter is urgent though, and he will have to spend 14 days at a government Quarantine center, which would cost at least 35K THB

Hi Benjamin. :) Yes a valid work permit. The urgency is the need to work! ;)

the need to work probably won't be considered as "urgent", but you can try

He may Consult Thai consulate which is in Chennai, Tamilnadu.

He needs to have Covid -19 Insurance until his visa expires.

lets be clear:

He needs a health insurance policy in the amount of US 100,000 which ALSO includes COVID medical care if needed.

A COVID policy alone will not satisfy the requirement.
