Please help- looking for advice regarding the travel insurance as I’m just doing a visa run to thailand. What is the most cost effective option?
Answer summary
For a visa run to Thailand, two budget-friendly travel insurance options are recommended: FWD, which is generally inexpensive, and World Trips, where you can adjust your deductible to reduce the premium effectively. Both options are designed to meet the minimum insurance requirements for Thailand Pass applications, costing around $15 USD for 30 days of coverage. Note that while these policies are the cheapest, they may offer limited coverage.

There are two extremely cheap options.

FWD (cheap in general)

Or world trips (you can bump the deductible up to $5,000 USD, and lower the premium to $50k USD). This will be cheaper than FWD for short term trips.

Please note that these are some of the worst policies, and should only be used if all you are looking for is to meet the bare minimum requirements.

Both providers will email you the policies within 30 minutes, and are commonly used for Thailand Pass applications.

Around $15 USD for 30 days of coverage.
