Can I extend my health insurance while already in Thailand for a visa extension?
Sorry if it had been asked before.
I cant find it.
I got luma insurance for 2 months.
But iam extending my visa for 30 day.
I would like to extend my insurance.
My broker said thats no problem.
But you have to say that you coming from your country.
But iam in thailand already.
So iam afraid that when i need this insurance they dont pay becouse of this.
Does somebody know an insurance wich you can take already in thailand?
Thank you

Answer summary
An expat in Thailand is seeking advice on extending health insurance (Luma) while already in the country for a 30-day visa extension. They're concerned about potential issues with claims, as their broker indicated that insurance might only be issued for those coming from their home country. Several commenters provided insights, suggesting that it is indeed possible to extend insurance plans like AXA while in Thailand, and one user recommended True Traveller as a suitable alternative. Others shared personal experiences confirming that they have successfully extended their policies while in Thailand.

I had a similar problem. I went with True Traveller. Already travelling is ok for uk & eu nationals. They're backed by AXA & get excellent reviews on trustpilot. I took out policy when in Vietnam & it was accepted by ThaiPass.

youll have to confirm your not in thailand to get it.Thats my whole point.

@Peter ********
of course you have to be in Thailand. Why would you extend a policy outside Thailand ? Just get new policy. Only valid from arrival date.Peter *********
