I need help with Insurance and airline clarification please….My husband and I planned on moving to Thailand for retirement this Summer. We’ll enter on 90 days Non-O visa single entry with US passports. We are both over 50 and fully vaccinated. We will apply for 1 year Visa extension towards the middle of third months.
Questions: Do we have to purchase both of the regular health insurance with min coverage of 40k/400k thb policy AND $50k usd Covid coverage for 90 days? Can we only purchased one way airline tickets to Thailand and purchased forward tickets for return flights? The forward tickets will be used for visa returning dates and insurance applications or airline retirement.
TLDR : Answer Summary
When moving to Thailand on a 90-day Non-O visa, you are required to have both regular health insurance with a minimum coverage of 40,000/400,000 THB and Covid-19 insurance with at least $50,000 USD coverage for the duration of your initial stay. As for flights, it is permissible to purchase one-way tickets; however, having confirmed onward travel (for visa purposes) is recommended, as it may be required by immigration.
