ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all - seeking some input for the LTR Visa application, particularly on the proof of health insurance.

I have employer-sponsor coverage but am finding it difficult to obtain a letter from my carrier with the specific language stating a “minimum of $50,000”. Instead, they state that there is no maximum payout. 

Knowing that the decision-makers for these visas can be sticklers, I’m curious to hear about people’s experience in applying.

Have they held you to having that $50,000 figure mentioned in your proof of insurance?

Anyone successful in getting such a letter from a US-based carrier?

You can purchase a disposable policy from an approved thai carrier.

Disposable as in covers nearly nothing but meets the Thai requirements.

Not ideal but a work around if you have coverage that doesn't qualify for whatever reason.

It's basically impossible to get the required proof from a US based carrier because they will never put a dollar amount on paper or say something is covered.
