What kind to buy?
For travel to Serbia, if you are buying travel insurance to apply for a Serbian visa, we recommend buying a Worldwide plan. Do not buy a Schengen plan because Serbia is not a country in the Schengen area.
Insurance coverage limit?
The Embassy of Serbia does not specify a minimum coverage limit for buying insurance, but we recommend that you buy it according to the Schengen visa criteria. This means the coverage limit for medical expenses due to injury or illness, emergency medical evacuation, and repatriation to Thailand should not be less than 30,000 Euros.
Number of days to buy insurance?
Start from the day you fly out of Thailand until the day you fly back and arrive in Thailand.
For example, if your outbound flight departs from Bangkok on June 1st but arrives at the destination airport on June 2nd, you must buy insurance starting from June 1st.
For the return trip, if your flight departs from Belgrade on August 1st but arrives in Bangkok on August 2nd, you must buy insurance that covers you until August 2nd.
Additional recommendations
- You must buy it in advance before leaving Thailand, because if you are already abroad, you will not be able to buy additional insurance days, and the insurance company allows you to buy only 1 policy.
- During the COVID-19 pandemic situation, we recommend that you buy insurance for 1 month more than your travel duration. For example, if you travel for 30 days, we recommend buying 60 days of insurance or buying an annual plan. This is because there might be an emergency requiring you to stay longer, such as falling ill before returning to Thailand. Your insurance might expire first, and you won't be able to buy more because insurance must be bought before leaving Thailand. Once you are abroad, you cannot buy more.
- Choose to buy travel insurance from a company that has a refund policy if your visa is rejected, such as AXA Insurance.
