TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about the necessity of Thai General Insurance Association insurance for applying for a tourist visa. Comments indicate that a tourist visa does not require insurance, and one commenter provided a link to an insurance policy specific to COVID-19, which may not be applicable for general tourist visa insurance needs.

This is the Thailand insurers group sponsored COVID ONLY policy...

@James *******
did you use this insurance? what was your experience with them?

@Tracey ******
have not used them. Its designed primarily for those unable to get health insurance which includes COVID coverage due to applicants age...as its issued thru ages 99.

Most insurers stop offering insurance at either 70, 75 or 80.

With premiums costly.

I have recommended it for those ages 75+.

the Thailand Pass does.

@James *******
apparently some countries added it to the TR visa application too which is news to me.

its possible as we have seen varied insurance requirements being applied by Thai Embassy's and Consulates worldwide.

i see must be different for different embassies. what insurance did you end up using?
Brandon ************
@Tracey ******
weird. I didn't know they added that. Why would they check it twice for both your visa and your Thailand Pass? But every embassy can pretty much make whatever rules they want

they did not ask me to show proof of insurance when I did my visa application
