What are some recommended insurance companies for visa insurance in Thailand?
I need some advice on mandatory insurance for my Visa. I need the insurance certificate to lodge with my visa application. There is a list of approved insurance companies but I am dealing with them via email and would like to get it done quickly. I am based in Australia does anyone have a recommendation for a company that is easy to deal with?
Answer summary
An expat in Australia seeks advice on mandatory insurance for their visa application to Thailand. They need an insurance certificate and are looking for a reputable company that is easy to work with via email. Recommendations include AXA, which has been reliable for several users, and Bangkok Insurance. Some users mentioned the possibility of coming in on a visa-exempt entry without immediate insurance, while others pointed out that the Non-O Visa may not necessarily require insurance. A link to a guide on insurance for foreigners traveling to Thailand was also shared.

I was also applying for a Non Imm. O retirement Visa. Thai embassy in Holland required a health insurance as well. But I have already a world coverage health insurance in Holland and a travel insurance. So I will come on a 60 Days Tourist Visa first (no ins. rquired) and apply for the Non O in Thailand, where it seems no health insurance is required for the Non O Visa. If they do ask for/require a healt insurance in Thailand I will take the cheapest package/highest deductable level from AXA or Bangkok insurance, since I can claim all costs at my own home insurance if needed. AXA and Bangkok ins. replied on all my asked questions. No problems found so far.

While investigating insurance policies for oa visa I found there are at least 2 coys who provide axa insurance policies as well axa themselves . I think it just depends on who you get on the other end of the email trail. So far my dealings with axa have been good. Answered all my questions both by email and phone
