Apologies if that's a silly question, but to apply for Thailand pass, only JPG and PNG are allowed, which to my knowledge can only be 1 page long. Meaning even for insurance policy, we can only submit 1 page total?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for applying for the Thailand Pass involves submitting only JPG or PNG files, leading to questions about how to effectively present insurance documents. It is confirmed that only a single page is necessary, such as a page stating COVID cover details, rather than the entire policy. Various replies suggest practical methods, including photographing multiple pages, taking screenshots, or requesting a concise summary from the insurance provider to meet the submission requirements.

I emailed my insurance company who I have a yearly insurance with and they provided me with a one pager that passed the Thai pass

there is an option to add pdfs at the end of the application. I don't actually remember having to upload insurance policy. I think it just asked for Policy number and when it starts from.

Take a photo of the page that states "covid cover exceeding $50,000" and upload in jpeg form. Only insurance information I uploaded and accepted 1st time within 4 days. Print full insurance details sent by company you choose and take with you in case you need to claim

because most people have a real health insurance which covers covid w/o any xtra costs. Only dumb people travel with covid insurance only.

If you use somebody like Axa Thailand, once you’ve paid for the insurance they will email you a covering letter that you use for your Thailand pass

You only need 1 page of the insurance policy, not the entire 27 page manual.

JPGs don't have pages. Just dimensions.

I know, and not a document. You can create a custom size jpg and paste two A4 size IMAGES though.

You can make a JPEG 20 meters by 20 meters if you want, JPEG is a file/compression format, not a size.

You could print out both and then take a photo of them together.
