Do I need to align my travel insurance with my flight dates for Thai Pass acceptance?

Thai Pass Travel Insurance Tourist Visa Visa Requirements Visa Extension Thailand Immigration Insurance Coverage

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, 

I have a question about the insurance as it pertains to getting getting your thai pass accepted. I have a tourist visa with a flight out 60 days after arrival. Does my insurance need to align with my flight dates? So if I bought 30 days worth of insurance,  would I not be approved? If i required 60 days of insurance, and I decided to extend 30 days at immigration, what would happen for those 30 days I am not covered? Would there be any issues with the extension at immigration? Would there be any issues when I go to leave the country?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

When obtaining a Thai Pass, your travel insurance must cover your entire stay as indicated by your visa. For a 60-day tourist visa, you'll need insurance that lasts for at least 60 days. If you only have 30 days of insurance, you will only be granted a 30-day entry stamp. This may cause issues for extending your visa at immigration if you're not covered for the additional days.

Why don’t you buy Sainsbury’s travel annual policy it covers you for 93 days as standard and it’s acceptable by Thailand pass

If you have a 60 day Tourist Visa, your insurance must cover the days of your entry stamp, or however long you plan on staying in Thailand.

So if you enter on a 60 day visa, but only have 30 days of insurance, you will only be stamped in for 30 days.
