What travel insurance companies do you recommend for long stays in Thailand on a DTV visa?

Be careful about travel insurance like world nomads. Because they are not traditional health insurance and it does not renew, you have to purchase a new policy, so if you have an illness that spans across two different policy periods then they may consider it pre-existing from the previous period and won't continue to cover it in your second period. I had that happen to me once with world nomads where they refused to pay the second follow up treatment. Cigna Global works for expatriates and the price is quite cheap for Europe, but the Price is like 50% more expensive when the country of residence is set outside Europe. One solution is to ask them to have your country of residence set to somewhere in Europe where you usually or previously live and ask them to designate you as a digital nomad so that you can keep it in Europe. They might say something like as long as you don't spend more than 6 months in one country outside your country of residence, but that's not exactly what the policy wording says. So it's a bit of a risk if you want to trust the sales person whether that really complies with the policy terms.

Before you leave call and extend your current policy see what they say

Cigna Global is the best by far, but extremely expensive. There are budget options like Safetywings etc. but they're really just for emergencies, not a real health insurance. For example Safetywings basic doesn't even cover any cancer treatment, and if you have enough money to pay for Safetywings Complete, you might as well buy a proper health insurance.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Let me know if you don’t find anything you like.

I’m an agent with Allianz Thailand and I have helped many DTV visa holders to get a local health insurance. We have a wide range of options that may suit your needs and preferences.

i use safetywing complete

Safety wings usually cheaper than World Nomads but both the only suitable choices really (as can be extended outside the home country)

Safety wing, GENKI, WORLD Nomads all good

Safety wing monthly payment

Try World Nomads. From memory they cover you for 12 months and you extend it as well
