How do I apply for insurance for my Visa on Arrival in Thailand?
Hi! How do I apply for insurance for a 15 day tourist visa- traveling from Namibia? Thanks!
Answer summary
You can apply for travel insurance for your visit to Thailand through an insurance company in your home country. Although there is no mandatory health insurance required for the 15-day Visa on Arrival, it is strongly recommended for your own safety. You can purchase the Visa on Arrival at the airport for 2000 THB.

there is no mandatory health insurance for people who buy the 15-days "visa-on-arrival" at the airport for 2000.- THB. However in your own interest, you should be insured for your holiday

That is not a Tourist Visa, it is a Visa on Arrival and purchased at the airport for 2000B before the Immigration desk. You can purchase any travel insurance you want.
