What are the recommended medical insurance options for a Canadian expat staying in Thailand for six months?

Rick Bazuin yeah, I buy travel insurance as well, so I know what it’s all about.

Health cover means it’s a permanent, ongoing thing. If you have a condition, it’ll be treated and you can remain on your vacation.

If you have travel medical insurance, and something happens, they can end your vacation.

Most Canadian travel policies tie in your provincial medical policy.

Health cover is independent, it does not factor your Canadian coverage at all.

The Covid regulation is not required, and for a tourist, there is no specific guidance for a Thai or foreign policy at this time.

As a caution, depending on your age and health conditions, often the Asian policies are very restrictive on westerners.

Preexisting, BMI, etc, all are factored.

If you have a Canadian travel policy, unless you’re over 65, that probably will not come into play as much.

I don’t think you’ve offered too many details about what you’re trying to cover, in terms of health, age, pre-existing, etc.

But I would still suggest you look at Canadian policies rather than foreign policies, if you want assurance
