Does Thailand accept foreign insurance cards for COVID-19 coverage during entry?
I have a question, does Thailand accept a foreign insurance card for example; I have Humana and they cover me anywhere in the world if I was to contract covid-19. With zero out-of-pocket cost to myself. 100% covered. So just wondering if this would be accepted or you still have to buy Thailand's insurance? I'll be leaving Thailand soon but will be back later just like to know this up front.
Answer summary
Thailand allows the use of foreign insurance cards for entry, provided the insurance meets specific coverage requirements. It must explicitly state coverage for COVID-19 with a minimum of $20,000. Additionally, a letter proving coverage, including the insured's name, coverage amount, and coverage dates, is necessary for acceptance.

We have our insurance as long as it says the amount of or over what is required and that it covers Covid it has to say specifically it covers Covid

As long as they can provide you a cover letter with your name, coverage amounts, and dates of coverage, it will work.
The problem many people run into is that their insurance won't provide a coverage amount or coverage dates if it's linked to a job or government or some such.
