Just wanting to know I have an OX retirement visa which I needed proof of thai health insurance to obtain I got stamped in till 2027 when my passport expires. My question is my first year of insurance is about to expire do I need to renew it so I have proof of insurance when entering Thailand as I have never been asked for it when entering ever on my multiple entry visa

Hi everyone.

I’m 62yo from Australia trying to get insurance to satisfy requirements for non Immigrant type O visa 90 days I’m getting quotes above 30.000 THB for 90 days only. Is that right ? Can anyone recommend a Thai Insurance company? Thai Consulate in Sydney is asking for a minimum cover of 400.000 THB as in-house Patient and 40.000 THB for out-patient as well as cover for COVID

Hello,

I’m here on an American passport with a type OA visa extension. I’m due for a new visa extension next month. As luck would have it I may take a trip to Cambodia next month and I was wondering if they might stamp me in for one year as I see others talk about. If I did this how does that effect my visa as I am not on a visa extension anymore? Or am I.

I believe I would have to buy Thai health insurance again before I do this.

Doing a road trip to Thailand crossing in via lan: border. Do I need vaccination certificate from my home country’s health ministry and some form of Thai insurance? A lot of conflicting information. Anyone with what’s required and what’s not

Entry Insurance deductible question:

I haven't left Thailand in years, but want to take a trip out and then back in, so I'll have to deal with this Thailand Pass nonsense.

I have a proper Thai health insurance policy (not a short term travel policy) through Luma, that's like 30M baht coverage and does include covid coverage in writing.

HOWEVER, I have a 320,000 baht deductible, because I only keep the policy only for large emergencies.

I can't get an answer from the Thai emails I've reached out to as to whether this policy is acceptable due to the high deductible, and of course I don't want to find out a week from my flight back into Thailand.

Does anyone know if the deductible matters? Or, does anyone know would be better to ask?

Thank you!

Now that the insurance require has gone down from 50,000 to 20,000. I would expect that price of insurance has gone down.

AXA is the same. Has any insurance gone done.

I am pretty sure the "insurance" is just a scam.

Hi all. Has anyone recently extended an STV. Do you still need Thai health insurance? I have covid and health insurance via another policy non Thai based. Is this enough I wonder. Any advice appreciated. Thank you

I'm looking for recommendations on health insurance company. I'm moving to Thailand in 3 months and will stay in Thailand most of the year.

For those of you who live in Thailand most of the year, what company offers the best package and premiums?

I'm not looking just for the lowest premium. I'm also looking for a company that has a good reputation for honoring their policy when problems do happen.

Since I will be going back to Canada most summers to visit family, I would also need a company that offers international coverage (i.e. Thailand, Canada, and other Asian and European countries that I might travel to).

Do any of you have a similar situation in terms of health insurance requirements?

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Hello everybody!

Thank you guys for helping me on my last post and here as promised my update on my adventure to get my second STV visa.

Its been a ride but I am finally back in the Land of Smiles with a STV stamp until the 15th of march!

I was able to figure out thanks to you guys how to select the STV on the EVisa application and shortly uploaded all my documents (I already have a condo contract and a long running insurance plan so that wasn’t a problem for me).

I submitted all my documents on 02.12.2021 and was prepared to at least wait 7 days for my visa to be processed but found myself lucky enough to have my EVisa 2 days later in my Email inbox by the Thai embassy in Germany. All in all a very easy and understandable process. Thai pass was also approved a few days later.

So on the 15.12.2021 I started my journey back with my pile of documents to Bangkok.

Once arrived at immigration I did have a little bit of a hick up happen to me.

I wasn’t questioned why I stay so long in Thailand or why I am on my second STV but I was asked to wait for a few minutes because the Thai Embassy in Germany had filed something wrong in my Visa and needed to be corrected which confused me quite a bit. The officer explained nicely enough that something was typed wrong and it had been corrected in the system and I just have to file a complained and they would handle the rest. Has this happened to anybody else? Is it because the EVisa system is relatively new and the Embassies have not fully finessed it yet? Please let me know.

All in all a very smooth procedure and I was more nervous then was necessary about this. I will report back when I get my first extension based on STV visa at the immigration here in Bangkok and until then have a great weekend everybody!
