Trying to apply for Non Immigrant o visa to Thailand. The form is asking for a health insurance policy covering treatment and medical expenses related to COVID 19 with minimum coverage of $100,000. Questions 1 is coverage that high still required? I have read that Thailand pass only requires $10k. 2 If not required, what is needed to satisfy the upload? 3. Any recommendations for insurance as I am 75y/o? 4. I plan to live in Thailand once the 90 days are up and i deposit the 400k baht so how long must I have the insurance for?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is inquiring about the health insurance requirements for applying for a Non Immigrant O visa to Thailand, specifically questioning the necessity of having a policy covering COVID-19 expenses with a minimum of $100,000. There appears to be confusion regarding the current requirements as some sources suggest only $10,000 coverage is needed for the Thailand Pass. They seek clarifications on what is needed for the application if the high coverage isn't required, alongside recommendations for insurance suitable for a 75-year-old expat who intends to live permanently in Thailand after the initial 90-day stay. Community comments indicate varying experiences with insurance requirements, suggesting some applicants have successfully used existing policies without meeting the $100,000 requirement, but also clarify conditions for financial requirements related to visa extensions.
