Can I purchase COVID health insurance for a TR visa from my home country?
Can I get the health covid insurance for TR visa from my home country which is obviously much more cheaper or is it strictly and only from thai companies? thanks
Answer summary
The query revolves around whether health insurance for the COVID-19 pandemic, required for a Thailand TR visa, can be obtained from foreign providers or if it must be sourced from Thai companies. Responses indicate that while many recommend insurance from Thai providers due to governmental lists of approved insurers, some users have successfully used international insurance policies. A few users mention specific providers and share experiences related to health insurance, covering COVID-19, at various rates.

They dont have a option for TR visa but if I choose STV, they quated covid insurance for 12,160 THB :D Allan *****
@David *******
I went back to the link. You are correct that there is no TR option. I also test. It looked like price depends on the country (or risk of country). China and Australia are 3840, Germany 6400, USA *****
. All the price are for 90 days with work permit. Alberto *********

Steve King not speak nonsense. This is 10 month coverage. And not only this. Also endorsement for wyarentine status. 1500 euro less franchigia already approved and give back in 45 days. Vith this i yust enter in thailand on 28 september. Finish my ASQ on 13 october. Its all. But if you buy thai insurance the first 30 day you are not any coverage. And price is terrible espensive. So no speak nonsense. You dont know nothing about this.

You don’t need to use a Thai insurance company ... I did not use one but it’s health insurance you can’t get travel insurance... it’s not cheap where ever you go ....

@Grant ***********
5 guys in the line for the plane were refused as insurance did not state covid cover ...!!!! They even called the company who could not supply the paperwork so did not get in the plane you can get a quote and send to embassy who will clarify if it’s good or not before you buy ....Stuart *********
@Grant ***********
does it state on the paperwork the words COVID 19 covered $100,000 ...??? Grant ************
@Stuart ********
it has to state the equivalence of $100k USD it can be in Euros. I think mine says €150k. Grant ************
@Stuart ********
which is what I have got. David ********
OPI am confused now. Whats the reason I can not get travel insurance? For instance I can get travel insurance in my country for 90 days, with medical expenses up to 450k USD, it also covers a wide range of COVID-19 risks. Its around 200e, its pretty cheap.

@David *******
you can get travel insurance but it has to include COVID-19 and state that it does up to $100k USDMichael ********
For SETV long stay as Bim said its list from Goverment. This tourist visa should check with embassy as its fairly new.
With marriage visa non B etc can be any insurance as long as it meets the requirements

I believe there is a list of approved companies all of them Thai
Barry *******
@Bim ******
not true. There is a list of companies but they are not all Thai companies. Bim *******
@Barry ******
do you know the list?Barry *******
@Bim ******
I’ve seen it as I had to go through the whole dilemma and my insurance is not through a Thai company. I think there is a link on the London Thai Consulate website.
Also I would advise to contact the insurance companies direct. No need for an agent. Your giving them money for nothing!
