How to buy international travel insurance for an Austrian visa (Schengen visa): which type should you choose?

For the travel destination, choose Thailand - Schengen or Thailand - Worldwide, but do not buy a single-country policy, as it cannot be used for a Schengen visa application. 

How much coverage limit should you buy?

Choose a coverage limit of not less than 30,000 EUR for these 4 risk categories: 

 1. Accidental death, loss of limbs, sight, or total permanent disability benefits: coverage of not less than 30,000 EUR

 2. Medical expenses (actual payout maximum): coverage of not less than 30,000 EUR

 3. Emergency medical evacuation or repatriation to Thailand: coverage of not less than 30,000 EUR

 4. Repatriation of mortal remains: coverage of not less than 30,000 EUR

Number of days to purchase insurance :

 From the date you fly out of Thailand until the date you land at the airport in Thailand

 For example:

 Departure: Departing Thailand on June 1, but arriving at the destination airport on June 2

 You must purchase insurance starting from June 1

 Return : Departing Austria on August 1, but arriving in Bangkok, Thailand on August 2

 You must purchase insurance until August 2

Additional recommendation:

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