Not so simple.Now you must ask COE and have Covid insurance paid for entire stay paid before ...

There is a on line system for easy application.first you subscribe to anti Covid insurance(cheap),then you continue on stage 2 on the same software and you have the choice for health insurance between approved by Thai authorities.That's all.Easy.

If you are cautious,you can also subscribe on top of that,a TRAVEL health insurance,you can choose on international market.Brands like APRIL,CHAPKA...

Yes,coming from outside is different.You need COE, and for COE you need anticovid ins,then next step as usual health insurance.For newbies it's not very clear.But not difficult.Except if you are more than 70 y.o.Read small characters.Difficult.

You need 1 ins anti Covid to obtain COE

AND one general health insurance for in and out patient to obtain visa.

Perhaps theses 2 insurances are belonging by the same company.

Normally,only health insurances registered in Thailand with an office in Bangkok are allowed.See list of about 15 approved Thai insurances.

All this is new.

@Craig ******

no,read carefully the visa section of Embassy

2 Insurances are now mandatory.covid ins and also health bins,

Thai Embassy to write COE

@Roger *******

lucky.Now they ask.Mandatory.Software rejects people more than 70 yo

@Martin ********

sorry,English not my langage.So I write too simple.Anyway,I have money...

@Martin ********

they want to see your bank account before visa...is more exact.

So,they want to SEE you have money.
