Do I need health insurance in addition to Covid insurance for my 30-day visa exemption to Thailand?
I 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.

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 *******

@Horst *******
thank you.Horst ********
@Paulus ********
no, you must have Written confirmation from the insurance company explicitly for Covid and the sum insured must be shown.Henriette ********
Currently you need any travel or health insurance. No need to mention covid.
In September who knows....
