Revolut, comes with the premium accounts about £120 or so a year for the account the insurance is part of the package. Just need to print off the policy main page and page 42 which shows covid cover up to £10 m. Used it to arrive yesterday no issues at all
Jane ***********
@Ray ****
that’s great. Such bad advice here about getting Thai insurance. Many of them are annual payment only and only cover Thailand! Ray *****
@Jane **********
Revolut is great, multi trip and worldwide up to 90 days per tripJane ***********
Ray *****
@Jane **********
they didn't ask for a return flightJane ***********
@Ray ****
Did you have a return flight? If so was it 90 days or less from departure? It's a minor check at airport because they presume, if you have CoE that that has been checked during that process. Ray *****
@Jane **********
cannot say for certain but when i arrived they only checked the front page. I had page 42 which specified the covid cover but they never looked at it. The Embassy in London accepted it for the COE obviously Jane ***********
@Ray ****
hmm does it work if your return flight is over 90 days away? Or you don’t have oneRay *****
@Jane **********
yes it is travel insurance and it works to get into the country. Jane ***********
@Ray ****
yeah the 90 days is a problem though. That’s just travel insurance

Ok great, thank you 🙏
Ray *****
@Laurence *****

@Ray ****

@Paulene ********************

@Ray ****
maybe they will except a travel one from my bank in ukRicky *********
Axa insurance company seems to be the standard. But as
@Steve ********
said, get it from a Thai office axa..co.th. Plus, the UK originated policy has "too much" coverage, so it costs more.Jane ***********
@Carlo ***********
The quotes I got from Thai companies were v similar to global insurance like Cigna and AXA Ricky *********
@Jane **********
I have not bought mine yet. What are the company names? Thx
Steve *********
You're best with a Thai company right now.
Steve *********
@Jane **********
this group is specific to Thailand. If this group were about general worldwide matters, I might suggest something quite different. Jane ***********
@Steve ********
many people in this group ( like me) do not spend their entire lives/12 months of the year in Thailand. I was merely pointing out that if you don’t live full time in Thailand, then it might be a good idea to buy insurance that is ALSO valid outside Thailand. Get over yourself Jane ***********
@Steve ********
thanks appreciate the acknowledgment Steve *********
@Jane **********
as you know best, I'll leave you to your superiority. Jane ***********
@Steve ********
why? Thai company will only cover you in Thailand. Many other global options Steve *********
@Jane **********
because this post is about Thailand?Jane ***********
@Steve ********
it’s not. ‘Best COVID cover’. The best cover is not to take an insurance that can only be used in Thailand. Unless you plan to stay in Thailand for the duration of the cover. 
Shaun *********
Your best getting a thai company
If we go into a full lockdown again before you travel then any Uk insurance policy would be void

I'm in UK and just been quoted thb7500 for 90 days for insurance cover to satisfy visa requirements during covid. Seems excessive?

how a foreigners could apply Thai company insurance? thank you 🙏Jane ***********
@Shaun ********
actually that’s not true. I have Cigna Global and it’s covered me exactly the same all the way through COVID. If you get Thai insurance it can only be used in ThailandPolly ****************
