ORIGINAL POSTERMy friend is coming to visit on the 1st of May with her husband and she asked about having to have insurance.
With things changing, will her family have to buy any?
With things changing, will her family have to buy any?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Visitors to Thailand, arriving from May 1, 2022, will need travel insurance that covers at least USD 10,000 per person to be eligible for the Thailand Pass. Although the required insurance amount was lowered, having coverage is essential due to potentially high medical costs in case of illness or accidents. It's recommended to check with local embassies for specific requirements and explore reputable insurance providers.

When traveling abroad you always should have health insurance! Imagen you fall sick or have an accident! Hospitals are expensive, a bill can run quickly into thousand of dollars, pounds, euros!!!!

Yes, USD 10k per person for TP approvals for/after 1 May. As they arrive on 1 May they may need to meet the present requirements. Best to talk to their local embassy.
