How can I obtain a TRICARE insurance letter indicating a minimum of $50K coverage for visa purposes?
Anyone used a TRICARE insurance letter to prove that they have a minimum of $50K of insurance coverage worldwide? If so, how did you get it? I received a letter stating that I was covered, but it does not have a minimum amount. Thank You
Answer summary
The inquiry is about obtaining a TRICARE insurance letter that explicitly documents $50,000 in coverage for visa purposes, specifically for the Wealthy Pensioner Long-Term Residency (LTR) Visa in Thailand. Several commenters provided guidance on the necessary documentation, including contacting TRICARE for two specific types of letters: one confirming health coverage and another detailing what TRICARE covers abroad. There are mentions of changes in TRICARE policies regarding the inclusion of specific dollar amounts in their letters, and alternative suggestions for obtaining appropriate insurance that meets visa requirements.

Thank You!!!Andy *******
You need to talk with BOI, the military/Tricare Ins. letter no longer puts a dollar amount so that may not be an option anymore

OPAs a U.S. citizen, I can arrive to the airport in Thailand and enter the country on a 60 day tourist VISA by just using my passport and the Thai entry card, correct?
Andy *******
SunnyPeacock4338 correct, Visa exempt entry, as long as you haven't done it too many times in the past

OP@Andy ******
okay great! The last time I was there was in 2016.SunnyPea********
OPI emailed them a couple of hours ago. I’m definitely praying they provide numbers and if not, at least the LTR is approved without it.
Andy *******
SunnyPeacock4338 they might accept it without numbers since they are familiar with the rest of us ex-military
Andy *******
mine they refused, recently

OP@Andy ******

BOI is for investing, correct? It appears that if I can’t show the dollar amount for insurance, the requirement would be that I have $100K invested for no less than 12 months at the time of application. The application has been submitted, they requested an update for insurance.

SunnyPeacock4338 $80,000 passive income or $40,000 and $250,000 in investment in Thailand
Andy *******
SunnyPeacock4338 for a couple of years Tricare was relaxing the rules and putting in a dollar amount but they went back to their old ways
Andy *******
SunnyPeacock4338 You can still buy a policy From their recommended providers And once you have proof it's purchased they'll accept it
Andy *******
SunnyPeacock4338 Boi owns the LTR visa and they run the program and I think the two options for insurance are to buy a policy that satisfies them or have so much in the bank as you stated for a period of time

For what purpose?
SunnyPea********
OP@Brandon ***********
it’s a requirement for Wealthy Pensioner LTR VISA.Brandon ************
SunnyPeacock4338 I've seen people report success with this, but I do not recall how they did it. Did you search the group for LTR? There's also a very long LTR thread on ASN.
