Does Anyone have recommendations for medical or travel insurance companies for short term stays of 3 to 6 months for dtv visa thanks
Answer summary
The conversation provides several recommendations for travel and medical insurance suitable for short-term stays (3 to 6 months) in Thailand, particularly for those on a DTV visa. Key suggestions include World Nomads for long-term travel coverage, cheaper options from home countries for shorter stays, and specific companies like Genki and AXA. It's noted that while Genki is recommended, other options like Thai health insurance may be available, albeit at a higher cost for older applicants. Additionally, Feather offers a 12-month insurance option.

You should be able to get travel insurance from your home country for stays up to 3 months approx 90 +/- 2 or 3 days but not seen any longer. Genki and world nomads or thai health insurance for longer although they are more expensive the older you are

I used World Nomads a few years ago for travel insurance, one of the few companies that would cover long term travel

For short term

Cheaper & easier to organise travel insurance from your home country
