So, anyone know what is required now as insurance to get into Thailand. I have never had it before of the many years going. Looking into it the prices are as high and higher than my $1000 dollar ticket! Suggestions please. I am old - 74 which seems to be a problem even when in excellent health and no meds.

Would appreciate advice please!

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

Travelers to Thailand, especially seniors, are often concerned about insurance requirements. Currently, if you are not entering with an OA visa, there are no specific insurance requirements to enter Thailand, but having travel insurance is advised for peace of mind. If planning to retire, consider looking into insurance options as they may be costly due to age, with various companies offering different coverage terms.

OA RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Go to the OA Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

Patricia , you no longer need Covid insurance or any other health insurance to enter Thailand . If your going for a holiday just get normal travel insurance for your trip , or don’t . If your planning to retire there insurance would be a good idea but expensive for good coverage at your age …but research many companies as they can be very clever at not paying out …. Good luck

Unless you're entering with an OA visa, you shouldn't be required to show any insurance to enter.
