Applying for my DTV Visa from Ho Chi Minh next week.

Do they ask for Travel / Health Insurance? I currently have SafetyWing and I'm wondering if it's sufficient or if they will ask for documentation.

Hey everyone, enjoy reading the posts here. I’m heading over to Thailand mid to end of July for around 5 weeks. Coming from Australia. Not a big partier. Would love to travel around a bit see as much as I can. And meet the local people. My question is quite broad, wondering what are the must see places to visit Also wondering if there might be something that needs to be done that often gets forgotten in preperation for the trip, even if you think it might be the simplest of things? Anybody recommend a travel insurance that’s suited for Thailand. Also thanks in advance for any replies.

Travel Insurance: I'm looking for the best travel insurance for medical reimbursement in the event of emergency. I don't care about reimbursemet for all that other junk they throw in or even for trip cancellation, just the best medical reimbursement. One name keeps coming up: Faye. From what I can tell they are primary payor, so they pay first and pay directly to the Bangkok hospital of your choice. (Many other insurers YOU have to pay then they reimburse you whenever they get around to it). What I've done is entered my information and set the trip cancellation amount to as low as allowed ($1000) to get the lowest premium, and that gets me $250KUSD medical insurance. I was just wondering if anyone has bought Faye in the past or actuallly had to use them and what the experience was like. Thanks everyone. BTW lots of people say travel insurance is a waste and I used to be one of them until I ended up in Phyathai2 for 10 days from acute respiratory arrest. Try talking yourself out of that one with no insurance and enough cash for about 1/10 of the bill.

hey everyone. any australians on a DTV who could offer me some travel/health insurance advice? who did you go for?

Hey all, need some advice, I had an accident which required surgery and I'm still in the hospital and not fit to fly. I'm here on the 60 day visa exempt and most likely getting me fit to fly will take 2 - 3 months. I know there is something like a medical extension, but I don't know if that is correct or the right way to go. I got contact details from ITA-2567 but 1 number is no longer working and the other just gets disconnected because 'it is too busy'.

Can anyone please assist?

I'm living in Bangkok on a DTV and going to Hanoi for 5 days and want to purchase Allianz travel insurance; do I purchase the policy through the US web site, the Thai web site, or does it matter ?

From your experience, which Thai bank credit card has the best perks programme, e.g. airport lounge access, travel insurance, etc. Many thanks.

I was informed that I can process my Retirement Visa from my home Country, has anyone done this? Have knowledge on this?

Hallo

I live in Germany,

I'm German and 61 years old.

I have a work contract in Germany and because of that I am in statutory health insurance. I have the visa non-imm OA Longstay multiple.

Thailand pretends to be a health insurance with 3,000,000 coverage from a Thai insurance company.

I have travel abroad health insurance all the years with repatriation to Germany.

I don't know now if travel insurance will be accepted for the visa.

Reason for my question, the last border crossing the officials wanted to see my insurance policy and I had problems there.

Who can help me clear this question here?

Hallo

Ich habe meinen Wohnsitz in Deutschland,

bin Deutscher und 61 Jahre alt.

Habe einen Arbeitsvertrag in Deutschland und bin dadurch in der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung. Ich bin im Besitz des Visums non-imm OA Longstay multiple.

Thailand gibt vor, eine Krankenversicherung mit 3.000.000 Deckungssumme einer thailändischen Versicherung.

Ich habe die ganzen Jahre eine Auslandsreisekrankenversicherung mit Rückführung nach Deutschland.

Ich weiß jetzt nicht, ob eine Reisekrankenversicherung für das Visum anerkannt wird.

Grund für meine Frage, beim letzten Grenzübertritt wollten die Beamten meine Versicherungspolice sehen und ich hatte Probleme dort.

Wer kann mir hier helfen, die Frage zu klären?

Insurance related question so hope falls under ‘More’ category!

Any advice on best travel insurance company to use for travelling from Thailand to USA? Most UK/European providers need you to depart and return from/to your ‘home’ country.
