I use Safetywing. You're covered worldwide with them and the five claims I have made have all been resolved without issues.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
I have also Been Told to Stay away from Any American companies for health insurance, you got to go through hoops even on your death Bed to get any claim sorted . Typical America really .
Make sure which ever company you choose, you read and understand the fine print. Many of them deny payment even if you only had s cold recently. It’s only affordable if you’re young and healthy. I pay a lot with multiple pre existing conditions
