What Is the Best Health Insurance for COVID-19 Coverage for Entry to Thailand?
Hi all, I am trying to gain entry to Thailand (UK citizen) and have been in contact with the Thai embassy. They claim the following provide cover for covid-19:
1. Ideally, it should cover the length of your stay in Thailand
2. Some applicants submit insurance from Cigna, Bupa, Pacific Cross, Generali, AXA, which cover COVID-19
A bit of a long shot, but does anyone have experience with any of these /what were the costs?

You can actually Google each company and read the reviews. Then you can contact them for a quote. Insurance premiums vary wildly depending on history and age, so any prices you receive here may not be for your situation

very good point. I have begun the process of contacting them for quotes, but didn't cross my mind there would be reviews onlineBobby ********
@Sam ********
. Google always carries reviews. Make sure you read plenty to get a good balance. Many people have one bad experience and set out to destroy a reputation, so keep an open mindJames ********
What visa are you applying for?
Thailand is now closed to foreigners unless you hold a work permit in Thailand and meet requirements for special permission to enter.

Good Luck. Go for it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Submit your application and supporting documents with the Thai Embassy in your home country.Sam *********
OP@James *******
it better! Fortunately for me they are not quick with paperwork, so the rules may change by the time I get it 😆James ********
@Sam ********
their letter of request needs to cite the urgency and importance you need to be at work. Sam *********
