ORIGINAL POSTER

Dutch Digital Nomad here - I'm applying for the DTV and I'm trying to understand if my personal AON travel insurance will cover me in Thailand. I'm guessing as long as I don't get injured at the actual office, it should be fine? I'd like to hear others' thoughts and experiences on this. Thanks!

What do you mean by ‘the actual office’?

Check the small print on your policy. Two things to watch for: period of cover and whether or not a return ticket is needed before you travel.

I think it would depend on the individual policy. Many travel insurance policies have a maximum number of days out of your home country. If you are planning to live in Thailand for several months, you should probably look for insurance coverage for residing in Thailand and not travel insurance. But again, it depends on your specific policy.
