How to buy travel insurance for a France visa (Schengen visa) - which plan should you purchase?

For your travel route, select Thailand - Schengen or Thailand - Worldwide, but do not choose a specific single country, as it cannot be used to apply for a Schengen visa. 

What coverage amount should you buy?

Choose a policy with coverage of at least 30,000 euros for these 4 risk categories: 

1. Benefits for death, loss of limbs, sight, or total permanent disability from accidents: coverage of at least 30,000 euros

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

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

4. Repatriation of mortal remains: coverage of at least 30,000 euros

Number of insurance days :

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 June 1

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

You must purchase insurance valid until August 2

Additional recommendation:

We recommend buying from an insurance company that offers a full refund if your visa application is denied.
