Is it mandatory to maintain health insurance coverage after the initial 90 days when staying in Thailand?
If you have entered with a 90 day insurance coverage and staying past that 90 coverage period, is it mandatory to purchase for the duration of the stay? Or it’s only mandatory to show when entering?
Answer summary
When entering Thailand, it is typically required to have health insurance coverage; however, once you are in the country, maintaining that insurance for the duration of your stay is generally not mandatory unless your visa type requires it for extensions.
