What are the new insurance requirements for expats regarding Thailand visas during COVID-19?

Alex ********

not quite.

Charging $1000 for premium regardless of length of stay is excessive.

In addition to the other insurance required.

I don't get insurance requirements for covid is $100,000 with $1,000 premium.....

That's a hell of a lot of treatment and costs given the majority of people who contract it only have mild symptoms and are covid free within a few weeks.

I am heading out to buy shares in Thailand's insurance companies!

Thailand tourism is dead for a long time to come.
