TAT Governor Mr. Yuthasak Supasorn said, "One of the official documents required for foreign tourists preparing to visit Thailand during this challenging public health crisis is a medical insurance policy with at least USD 100,000 coverage or about 3.16 million Baht for possible COVID-19 treatment."

"TAT expects that, under the OIC Regulation, the COVID-19 insurance protection program will provide additional peace of mind for foreign visitors and potentially make it easier for inbound travelers to depart their country of origin," said Mr. Yuthasak.

Thailand's Thai General Association (TGIA) and Thai Life Assurance Association (TLAA) plus 16 leading and non-life insurance companies in Thailand are working with the OIC regulatory oversight to offer international tourists the insurance protection program COVID-19.

The foregoing advantages will benefit foreign travelers from the purchasing of an OIC-endorsed medical insurance package, which is available online at https://covid19.tgia.org/
