Foreigners используют travel insurance, international health plans или local expat policies в зависимости от visa type и stay length. Как insurance вписывается в Thailand stays — не рекомендация конкретного продукта.
Who needs insurance for a visa
Many long-stay categories require insurance с minimum coverage:
- Retirement extensions
- DTV и some LTR categories
- Work permits in some cases
Officers may ask at extension. Keep policy documents в формате, который office accepts.
