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.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, holding a retirement visa, inquired about the necessary insurance for traveling back to England from Thailand. Comments suggested that travel insurance must cover COVID-19 up to $100,000 and mentioned the importance of obtaining a re-entry permit for Thailand. Others highlighted the need for COVID insurance to secure a Certificate of Entry for the return journey. Recommendations were made for agents who could assist in finding suitable insurance options.

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.

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.

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.

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.
