ORIGINAL POSTERI am travelling to Thailand in September from England on a 30 day Visa exemption . On the Thai pass I know I need covid insurance but do I have to have health insurance as well. Many thanks , Jon.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A traveler from England inquires about the necessity of health insurance when traveling to Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption that requires Covid insurance. Comments from the community simplify the requirements, stating that only Covid insurance is currently needed, with some suggesting that any foreign health insurance should suffice as it covers Covid-related illnesses.

A foreign health insurance is enough, because Covid is an illness and is automatically insured. The only thing you need is a confirmation of your assurance that Covid is fused to 10,000 US dollars

@Horst *******
so the policy still has to say Covid is covered or not?Horst ********
@Paulus ********
no, you must have Written confirmation from the insurance company explicitly for Covid and the sum insured must be shown.Reply to
