TLDR : Answer Summary

The Thai General Insurance Association policy for inbound travel is designed to meet the insurance requirements for entering Thailand during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is government-sponsored and satisfies the basic coverage needed for the Certificate of Entry (COE). However, it may not be the most comprehensive or cost-effective option available.

It's sponsored by the Thai government, specifically to meet inbound covid insurance requirements. It may not be the best or most comprehensive insurance, or even the cheapest option, though.

If you can fly Emirates, that is by far the cheapest option as Emirates offers free medical and travel insurance with all tickets good for the full period of your round-trip ticket up to one year. The policy is issued by AIG and for sure meets the requirements of the getting a COE as many have used it successfully to enter Thailand. Just email

with a copy of your Emirates ticket and they will send you your personalized insurance document to send to the consulate.

If you go with Emirates, be sure to highlight the line near the bottom of the AIG policy which specifically says it includes Covid coverage. Some consulates miss it and deny the COE until it is pointed out to them.

depending on your origin country, be sure to check out these Thai insurers: Luma Thailand Pass plan and AXA Sawasdee plan. Both for sure come highly recommended in all the Thai travel groups.

this is true! But for my duration of stay 5 months they are far more expensive than the thai general insurance association.
