With annual Covid-19 Insurance, you only need to pay once to get an unlimited cover in 12 months. It insures you for multiple trips for a year, which can be cheaper. Your coverage will not expire even if you fly out of Thailand during that period.

Since the coronavirus vaccination is still in its first phase, the pandemic situation is still hard to control. Therefore, aside from being a requirement, buying Covid-19 insurance is one option to protect yourself during your trip to Thailand. However, some Covid-19 Insurance plans don’t cover other additional, unforeseen out of pocket expenses that arise from other conditions besides the coronavirus, such as natural disasters. Many people choose to buy additional Travel Insurance “Thailand Pass,” which covers various things that Covid-19 Insurance cannot provide, such as Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR).

Please ensure that the new coverage period matches your current visa. If applicable, please make sure that it fits the duration of the new visa you are planning to extend as well.
