How to buy international travel insurance for an Italy visa application (Schengen visa)—which type should you buy?

For the travel destination/coverage area, choose Thailand - Schengen or Thailand - Worldwide, but do not choose a specific single country by name, as it cannot be used for a Schengen visa application. 

How much coverage limit should you purchase?

Purchase a policy with a minimum coverage limit of at least 30,000 EUR for the following 4 risk categories: 

 1. Accidental death, loss of limbs, sight, or total permanent disability: coverage of at least 30,000 EUR

 2. Medical expenses (actual payout maximum): coverage of at least 30,000 EUR

 3. Emergency medical evacuation or repatriation to Thailand: coverage of at least 30,000 EUR

 4. Repatriation of remains to home country, coverage of no less than 30,000 euros

Number of days to purchase insurance :

 Starting from the date you fly out of Thailand until the date you arrive at the airport in Thailand

 For example :

 Outbound : Fly out of Thailand on June 1, but arrive at the destination airport on June 2

 You must purchase insurance starting from 1 June

 Inbound : Fly out of Italy on August 1, but arrive in Bangkok, Thailand on August 2

 You must purchase insurance until 2 August

Additional recommendation :

We recommend purchasing from an insurance company that offers a refund if your visa application is not approved.
