What type of travel insurance is needed for a retirement visa holder returning to England from Thailand?
Hello everyone I'm on a retirement visa and need to go back to England, what insurance is required for travel back ?
Many thanks in advance
Sorry I didn’t phrase my question correctly, I meant insurance for travel back to England not back to Thailand.
Thanks again.

Make sure you get a re-entry permit before you leave. You’ll need Covid Insurance in order to get your Certificate of Entry to return. Robert Jackson and Arawan Namak have been very helpful to a lot of people if you look for them on here. Agent and Broker and either will get you what you need.

thanks David, very much appreciated. David *******

You’re welcome. I should also have said, it must cover the entire length of stay allowed by your visa. So, if there is 8 months left on your Extension of Stay when you return to Thailand then you’ll need Covid insurance for 8 months.John ******

Thailand and Switzerland are both Amber at the moment so no difference for travel to U.K. I don’t know the Swiss rules for transit, you’ll have to check.As I said, the lists are being updated later today so keep an eye out for any changes.

Is that the air with transit through Switzerland David *******
@John *****
No.You will need to pre-book 2 Covid tests (plus get one before travelling) and complete the online declaration form.
Also, watch out for the announcement later today of the updated Red/Amber/Green countries for travel to England just in case Thailand is mentioned.
