Health insurance requirements for Thailand long-stay visas

2 of Thailand’s 6 tracked long-stay visas require health cover. The figures and conditions below are transcribed from the sources listed on each visa page.

Non-Immigrant O-A (Long Stay)

Minimum cover: ฿3,000,000 — outpatient and inpatient combined, roughly USD 100,000

  • The policy must cover all medical benefits, not only inpatient treatment.
  • It must come from a Thai insurer on the official TGIA long-stay list, or from a foreign insurer able to issue the Foreign Insurance Certificate in the format Thai Immigration accepts.
  • A general international policy that merely has a high limit will not clear the desk without that certificate.
