Health insurance requirement?

I have just been told you need a health insurance to apply for DTV or for entering Thailand on a DTV. I can’t see that requirement anywhere. Have I overlooked something?
Answer summary
There is no general health insurance requirement for applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) or entering Thailand on a DTV. However, some embassies may have specific requirements that vary, and it's recommended to check the embassy's website for accurate information. While health insurance is not mandatory, it is advised to have coverage for personal safety and to limit potential medical expenses.

It is not a requirement for the DTV, however, if you're planning to be in Thailand and/or traveling, then I absolutely recommend having a solid health/travel insurance plan in place.

SpiritedDolphin6453 Nothing I can see about needing to qualify under WorkCation or Soft Power. Is providing qualifying paperwork included in the cost of package? Also, what exactly does ‘Documents Include’ mean? For example they list; ‘ID card of Nationality’. I, for one, wouldn’t be in a position to supply one. Is this something the agent could provide assistance with?

( I have been told )

( I heard)

The moat typical sentences keep repeated and keep dragging people into unnecessary nonsense loop.

There are official channels for information.

If you will keep giving ears to every walk in person in your life

You will end up doing your DTV next to a Taxi driver in Thailand

Health Insurance is not necessary unless you're sick and need medical attention every week. It's all together CHEAPER to just pay out of pocket if you go to the doctor in an emergency, or even a check up.. If you don't require constant medical attention, it's cheaper to be un-insured. 💯💯

The embassy can add requirements as they see fit and they do it.

Like not all embassy require the money in savings or checking for 3 months.

Then again why would you want to be in another country with out some kind of insurance.

There’s no general health insurance requirement. Although some foreign missions might from time to time have their own specific requirements. Check up the website of the embassy where you’ll apply. The Thai embassy in Copenhagen don’t.
