@Paul ******

thank you!

@Steve *******

I guess this would be something mentioned in the insurance policy - and I have not seen such a mention before (I mean for tourist insurance).

@Paul ******

thanks for the suggestion - any idea if this can be done while I'm in Thailand on a visa exemption or tourist visa?

@Brandon ***********

thanks for the answer. I actually have an anecdote to share on your last point: a friend recently had a minor incident with a faulty hammock requiring a few stitches and the clinic took his policy number (also a Polish credit card travel insurance) and nothing more - he did not need to pay upfront.

Hey, thank you again. Just to update, the immigration officer did not ask to see a plane ticket out of Thailand. The guy in line before me in immigration even said that he "doesn't know" when asked how long he intends to stay, and they still let him in.

Hey, thank you again for the detailed answer. Just to update, neither the airline (EVA Air) nor the immigration officer asked to see a plane ticket out of Thailand.

@Stuart ********

thank you very much for the detailed answer. Regarding the TM6 departure card - do I understand correctly that, since the form is not needed anymore, I will have to provide immigration with data on neither my intended place of residence nor flight out of the country when entering on visa exemption?

Thank you for your answer.

How much does the extension cost?

How early can I apply for it?

Do they grant the extension automatically, or do they sometimes reject the application?

Do I need to have on me a plane ticket for a flight out of the country within 45 days when entering Thailand? It would just go to waste if I extend the stay to 75 days...

@Tai **********

I have no idea how it works exactly I'm afraid - that's why I'm asking questions about this process.

@Michael *******

Actually, Ms. Namak IS one of the sources I mentioned. To quote her:

"From /2022. All insurers will not cover if you re tested positive covid asymptomatic. If you re not fell sick then the thai authority’s forced you to stay in hospital, hospitel or hotel for quarantine.

The insurance company will pay the expenses related to the medical treatment you need due to positive covid . Not the room or accommodation charge.

The insurance company will Not cover for close case contact either.

Right now if no symptoms they will push you to do hotel isolation or home isolation."
